If i sell something on ebay or amazon.com how do i ship the item and will i have to spend my own money to ship

Question

or do i recieve the money before it is ship

Answer 1

When you put something up for sale on Ebay you have to list a shipping cost. The buyer pays this. You do not ship anything to anyone until you have received payment. Depending on what your selling and the size of it you can determine the cost of shipping. A little advice though. Dont over inflate your shipping costs. Some sellers will sell something for 3 bucks and charge 20 for shipping...its crazy. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I would wait until you receive payment for the item.  You did add shipping cost into it, right?  Then you will have the money to pay for the shipping.
