I need someone who knows alot about ebay to help me?

Question

I have never used ebay and would like to know if they send updates by mail to your home address and also if you can get bad credit from it

Answer 1

eBay will not send anything via snail mail -- only email.

I'm sorry, though, but eBay has a minimum age requirement -- and that is 18. Any auctions you sell can be reported if you are a minor. Ask for the help of your parents in signing up on eBay (or use their accounts)

If you want to earn money from eBay, your first stop should be eBay's Guide to Seller Services http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/services...

eBay's Seller Central has all the resources you need to learn about the basics of selling on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/inde...

The key to a successful eBay selling is simple -- Sell products that people actually want.

Selling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.

eBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace:

Items In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sell...  

Hot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/what... and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left.

eBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action.

Merchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/cale...  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.

Answer 2

You need to set up a paypal account pretty much, that way people can transfer money into that account when they buy an item. And you send them money through it when you sell an item. You can link your bank account to it, or use a credit card.

You can also do it through money orders but that costs more and is more confusing.

You can get bad credit if you paypal onto your credit card and don't pay the bill. If it's through your bank account then the bank charges fee's if you try and buy something but don't have enough money.

Answer 3

You have to be 18 to use ebay. Additionally most buyers and sellers prefer paypal for the payment method which I belive you also have to be 18 to use and have either a bank account or credit card linked to it. Besides that ebay does not effect your credit directly but if you aren't paying your credit card bill that's a different story and all information they send to you is by e-mail.
