Due to my recent lack of funds, my large collection of random shit and free time I decided to start ebaying. Bought more than enough shit off ebay and was wondering if anyone had any tips and tricks, what not to dos or anything to help me get started. I'm mainly selling pc/video games dvds and dvd sets and was wondering if there is a place I can order bulk cheap packaging to sell my stuff in.

when recieving money only accept paypal and cash so you dont get scammed.
You're not gonna make alot of money unless you put alot out, theres also no gaurentee that things will sell.
liquidation.com is good for buying bulk but only buy the NEW stuff, otherwise you can end up with 100 cracked cd's.

good luck

Have your friends "buy" and bid on some items and send good feedback (don't use ebooks though, eBaY checks that). More positive and more feedback you have then the more likely people are to buy shit off you.

Never use a phony escrow service. Good one = escrow.com

You can't sell ebooks anymore. It has to be in the "Classified Ad" format now.
Nobody knows about all the new policies ebay is implementing unless they actually sell on there often. I went from a powerseller to now selling nothing on there because of all the bullshit.

EBAY is NOT the way to go to get Money Money Money anymore, I'm sad to say.

Have you actually read the thread/that post?

yeah I did... and it's still not worth it to offload your attic shit on there either.

theres a way to get free boxes from DHL/ USPS

its in the original free stuff thread 1......search for it

That are you can just break down boxes you find and save them for later... That is what I used to do and I never really had to find boxes to ship stuff in.
