The final things to decide on are payment and postage.
Remember: just because something seems too large, impractical, or expensive to ship, it doesn’t mean you can’t sell it. Simply offer the “collection in person” option – this means that the buyer and seller can find a convenient time for the item to be picked up. Buyers are usually willing to travel if the bargain is good enough and it give you the option of settling payment cash-in-hand.
You can also accept cheques or postal orders to maximize the amount of potential buyers, but these methods take longer and are generally unpopular.
What you’re going to charge for postage doesn’t have to reflect what it’s really going to cost you – but cheaper postage will encourage people to bid on your items, so before you post your listing, get down to your post office and work out how much it will cost to send in the UK.
Remember to check how much international postage will cost if you don’t mind selling to international buyers.
