4.  Search for items like those you want to sell. Read the listings. Take note of what sort of information or photos you find most helpful to you as a potential buyer.

5. Take photograph of your items.Get a cheap digital camera or a camera-phone, because with no photograph at all will (especially for a new seller) lead most people to think that you don't own the item at all, or have something to hide.  Take photographs of your item from every angle that you think someone will find useful. Get photographs of any unusual feature, any defects, and so on.

 6. Enter a title for your listing. The title is the front line in getting your item noticed. A good title will not only give potential buyers enough information to know whether the listing is worth their time to look at, it will also attract people searching for that items.
