Selling and Buying Things on EBay

Ebay has been around for years now, and is known with its huge reputation as the worlds largest online bidding site ever.  People can buy and sell tangable items on listings to people world-wide or even locally.   This particular auction website has been around for a while now, and has been very successful all over the world.  Ebay has been appearing in magazines, newspaper articles, and on the news with many horrific stories about people trying to sell their kidney on ebay, to success stories about how an elderly lady cleaned out her attic one day, and made a million dollars selling all the old junk on eBay!  

Ebay was new to me a few years ago, but I created an account with the company on my 18th birthday.  I was able to buy things, but I was also interested in selling things as well.  I researched it, and found that the only things that eBay wants while you are selling, is a small compensation of about 2% your total value that you are selling your item at, along with a listing fee of 20 cents to a dollar per item.  This amazed me at how much I could now use the internet for.  I started out small by selling some old pokemon cards that I no longer enjoyed or used.  They sold in 7 days for a dollar.  Afterwhich, I started really selling things and haven't stopped.  The last thing I sold on eBay to date is my Escort Passport Radar/Laser Detector for a whopping $257.
