Sell Your Old Stuff on eBay

One classic problem that everybody has is too much stuff. It fills up your drawers, your cabinets, and your closets. But what to do with it?

Sell it on eBay.

We just cleaned out a closet and sold a few miscellaneous items. We cleared $100 (after taking out shipping costs) with our old stuff. Cool, right?

Here's what to do:

1. Find an item (or set of items) to sell.
2. Photograph it well (several pictures, if needed).
3. Pack it up in a box for shipping.
4. Create an eBay account (if you don't have on already).
5. Add your item, using the size & weight of the box to estimate shipping costs for buyers.
6. Sit back & wait for the bids to roll in.
7. Once the auction is done, get paid by the seller (PayPal is easiest).
8. After payment, ship the item out.

Come on, you can't tell me this isn't easy. OK, so it's intimidating at first. But I guarantee you'll get the hang of it.
