So I'm not interested in opening a store, because from what I heard it cost monthly to do that. Does anyone on here know how selling things on eBay works?

Now, you know what you can expect from these barbarians. They are a race of rabid BASTARDS that will fight us tooth and nail! But they don't know what they're up against. Cyrodiil, is CIVILIZATION! Cyrodiil, is ORDER! Cyrodiil is POWER! And out here, WE. ARE. CYRODIIL.

List the item, wait for people to bid/buy it, ship the item to the person.

List the item. Either as buy it now, or auctions. When the listing ends, you can print postage labels for the winner. Make sure they have cleared payment first, then you send the item. You will have to pay 10% of the sale to eBay. (so if you sell something for £50, you pay eBay £5). This does not come out of the sale price, it is deducted from your Paypal at the end of eBays transaction month.

I don't think I understand the whole paying 10% at the end of the month thing...could you explain that a little more?

Once you sell something, you have to give 10% of the sale to eBay. If you sell multiple things, it will be 10% of their combined value. Each month, you will get an invoice from eBay (can't remember the exact date) stating how much you owe. The amount will be taken from your PayPal account. If you haven't sold anything for the month, you won't have to pay anything.
