Sell Your Item

  • After your photos and description are finished, go to ebay.ca
  • Sign in with your username and password.
  • Go to Sell on the top of the page menu.
  • Fill in the box that says What Are You Selling.
  • Choose a Category from the list that comes up. You can also choose a second category for a small fee.
  • Click Save and Continue.
  • Fill in Create Your Listing page:
  • Currency (U.S. for more bidders)
  • Item Title – keywords people would use to search
  • Choose Type from list (you can choose more than one)
  • Choose Age Level from list.
  • Choose Condition from list.
  • Click Browse to add pictures. First one is free and then slight charge.
  • Select any picture upgrades (optional). Make sure you wait until upload is finished before you continue.
  • Check box for gallery picture. This is an extra .35, but very worth it. Otherwise, your listing won’t show any pictures in the general listing.
  • Type in your description: keyword rich, interesting, and a large enough font.
  • Preview your listing.
  • Use listing designer if needed and a visitor counter (free) if you like.
  • Add starting price (lower is best and make sure decimals are in the right place.)
  • Enter quantity of items and duration of auction.
  • Choose payment method (PayPal is best).
  • Chose shipping cost (free if possible) and any insurance.
  • Choose any other countries you will ship to.
  • Enter any information about your return policy.
  • Click Save and Continue.
  • Chose any options to make your listing stand out.
  • Next you will see the fees eBay will charge you (plus a percentage if you sell). In my case it was $2.90 U.S.
  • Click List Your Item and you are done. Congratulations!
