      I appreciate the encouragement and these wonderful videos. I only watched your videos to launch a small business. It has been almost a month. When we receive the money from the first item sold, is there anything we should know about charges? Since the first item I sold was supposed to get $3.68$, but I only received $0.14$. Are you able to determine why that is the case?

    I've been finding a lot of success from not having a best offer. if someone watches i generally send a offer to them with no counter offer that way i sort of get what i was for it, so far having a good sell through rate also. i find your videos so helpful. my best seller is DVDs of coarse haha.

    promoted listing is one of your best tips! (at 3% also)I listed something a few weeks back and used the AI description, it was amazing!! I'm going to try a 90 day challenge using your videos as motivation. i wonder if that might be an interesting challenge topic for your videos? like, this week, list something broken(i've sold several things broken now with good description ) next week, list a DVD or Game, next week something vintage or clothing? see if it sparks an interest in a field to be interested in researching. these videos are always great for reminders, ideas and motivation Cheers!

I am now confused, as I have already started and registered as seller, though not fully. Please advise. kind regards.

Also if you'd be willing to include how you do shipping for it as well (not as helpful since I'm in the US but still helpful to have a point of reference). I've tried researching these two things and I keep just messing up and making mistakes that cost me money.

    BEWARE ANYONE considering selling on eBay now. eBay is charging sellers as part of its sales fee the percentage on sales tax a buyer of your item(s) paid. I just discovered this on a sale of golf irons. eBay added the Tennessee sales tax to the price I charged (I sold paying for shipping as well) 13.25% (which eBay doesn't inform you of or I wouldn't have sold these). It charged me a total of $93.58 an actual 14.51% not the 13.25% it disclosed after the sale.
    I am personally done with eBay. I have spent tens of thousands of 4 since it started. Not another penny from me. This is based on ethical principles. eBay has ZERO Ethical standards and too low to respond to my complaint of this covert rip off. Sell elsewhere there's plenty of options!

    I wish my ebay would say "G'Day" instead of just "Hi".
