Ebay advice

One of my flakey bms bought me a unity candle & guest book as a wedding gift - 3 weeks after my wedding (?). I have no idea where she bought these, so I was thinking of selling them on ebay, but I've never done this before. How do I set this up? Any advice?

Re: Ebay advice

The instructions are pretty easy to follow from the ebay website, but here's a few suggestions (I've been trying to get rid of some things since we moved to our smaller apt. and post-wedding).

Be very clear about how long it will be before you ship it.

Make sure to keep in good contact w/bidders/buyers.

Provide a good picture if you can

Don't start the bidding too high, but not so low that you'd be upset if it sold for that

Make sure you charge enough shipping costs

Use the html editor and make your auction page attractive (for free)

Here's the link to some of my auctions if you want to look at them for ideas:
