<prompt> Human: Hey all! Ive never used ebay, neither for buying nor selling. Im purging my belongings that have accumulated over the years mainly clothes, shoes, knick knacks and anything that I think has SOME monetary value, even a couple dollars, I would rather try to sell than just throw out or donate. I would just have a yard sale if I lived in a populated place, but my home is in the country and I dont think a yard sale would be profitable; most stuff would just end up thrown away or donated at the end of it anyway. My question: is ebay worth it? I know there are some fees associated with its use, and you have to pay shipping out of pocket, right?Anyone care to give me some beginner tips? Again, Im not selling anything new or fancy or expensive. Just stuff youd find for a few dollars in a yard sale. If theres a better website for this sort of thing, let me know! Thanks!  <response>: If youre new to ebay, you may not have found the Completed and Sold listings. Thats your first step to seeing if what you have is worth listing. Search for an item like yours and then click on Completed Listings on the left sidebar. That will give you a good idea of what things are actually selling for. Subtract 20 probably a little high for ebay and Paypal fees and whatever your postage might be.Honestly, things that are worth a couple dollars might not be worth the time and effort to sell. But you might find a few things in your inventory that are.
