Hey people,
I'm Adit and i've just started selling stuff on here in ebay, but well my account, since it is around nearly 2 years old, people arent just yet trusting stuff from it, as the account... i've been using it for buying and this is the first time i'm selling stuff through it, and the profits which comes up from the sale of these cards, i've planned to donate it to greenpeace. This activity is a part of my college project... so trying to pull around as much cash as possible, but i really dunno how to go about selling stuff in here...
can anyone help me around?

you can start by reading the ebay help pages on selling located over here:
http://pages.ebay.in/help/sell/index.html

Ebay is an eternal boxing ground between buyers and sellers.

You will have to sell some low value items first, get some feedback. People dont buy stuff from zero feedback sellers. I was at the exact same place you are not so long ago.

Thanks a lot...
well... i've finally sold my first card, shipped it and it has been recieved... i'm awaiting feedback... I totally agree with the price...
but the thing is that... i cant keep the price lower... as we've purchased completely eco-friendly paper from cottage industries which costs alot, and we've spent alot extra on the printing of the cards, as we've used non-toxic inks, so that we dont harm the earth for which we're trying to proceed donations for...
and since we're just starting... we dont really know how much we'd be able to sell... so we had to go for a small number which costed us more... and its very hard to compete with the cards in the market which are made on laminated cardboard or special papers which arent eco friendly AT ALL... and who use inks and huge printers to print in bulk

and well... I knew that people outside really value hand work... so i'm also doing international listing... but then again, I want to know that if the card does not sell... would the listing fee be slashed off?
