Selling used stuff on ebay is a great way of reducing pollution. You are RE-USING, instead of having someone buy a new product.

You are also moving the money within the USA, as opposed to moving more money out of it.

tdfb: If you save your aucton listings and use them as templates for future auctions then the entire process gets faster over time, as you only need to modify existing listings rather than creating them anew.

I’ve recently started doing this too. Each time I come across something in my house that I haven’t used in awhile, I ask myself “would I really miss this?” If the answer is no, then it will eventually go up on eBay.

The only thing is that listing on eBay is time consuming…at least 20 minutes per item. A small price to pay though for cleaning out my house and helping to payoff my debt.

I suggest helping yourself to using the eBay/Paypal shipping where you can print the label and pay for shipping right from the web site. It’s normally cheaper and saves a ton of time in the lines, and eases the hassle of the automated postal center.

I’m actually a bit more selective in what I’ll sell on eBay, as some items just aren’t worth the hassle. For those items, I just throw them in the ‘garage sale’ pile or donate them to charity.

It’s unbelievable the stupid stuff that sells on ebay. I don’t throw anything away, just sell it on ebay.
