Start selling:

1. At the top of any eBay page, click the Sell tab.

2. On the Sell page, click the Start selling button.

3. Sign in. You are now in the Sell Your Item flow.

4. Select a category by searching, browsing, or using a previous category selection. Remember to choose the category most relevant to your item, so it’s easy for buyers to find your listing.

Create your listing:

5. The first few times you list, you may be prompted to choose a listing form after you select a category. If applicable, you can also choose pre-filled item information from our catalog.  Choose the "More listing choices" form. This option allows you to select Misunderstood as your c harity of choice.

6. Complete the "Create your listing" form.

Depending on the listing form, category, and product you've chosen, you'll  have various options.

• Write a good title and description – You have 55 characters to help buyers find your listing with a title that's clear, complete, and descriptive.

• State exactly what the item is (even if it repeats the category name).

• Include details such as the brand, product name, size, or artist.

• Consider adding a subtitle for more description that'll be seen in searches.

• Enter Item Specifics – For certain categories, a form for Item Specifics appears. Providing additional item details within a category helps buyers find your item. An example of an “item specific” is the condition of the item.

• Items such as certain books, golf clubs, CDs, video game systems, and cell phones are associated with products in our growing catalog. If your item is one of these, you'll be offered pre-filled information and a stock photo from the catalog. This can save you time and help attract more buyers to your listing.

• Upload pictures – Including good quality, evenly lit pictures of your item can help sell your item. You can add and enhance pictures using eBay Picture Hosting.

• Select a selling format – Choose from auction-style, Buy-It-Now, Classified Ad, and Store Inventory formats.

• Donate to your favorite cause – You can contribute a percentage of your sale or all of it through eBay Giving Works. In "Choose how you'd like to sell your item," click Add or Remove Options. Under "Donate percentage of sale," choose "Give a percentage of the final sale price to a non-profit organization" and follow the instructions from there.

• Select a price – This includes deciding on a starting price and pricing options such as reserve price and Buy It Now to help you get the price you want for your item.

• Select a listing duration – Most auction listings last seven days. Durations of more than seven days may incur a fee and change some upgrade and insertion fees. Your listing fee subtotal appears in the “Your fees so far” section at the bottom of the "Create your listing" form and again under “Review your listing."

• Provide payment information – Choose the payment methods you’ll accept from buyers. For community safety, PayPal or merchant credit card payment options are required for new sellers.

• Provide shipping information – Specify the locations you'll ship to and the shipping cost, or say that shipping is free for the buyer. You can calculate shipping costs based on the buyer's location and item information using eBay's Shipping Calculator.

• Specify your return policy – Buyers are more comfortable shopping from sellers who offer return policies.

• Select listing upgrades – Listing upgrades such as bold font, highlights, and borders can help your listing stand out.

7. Preview your item. If you need to change something, click the "Edit listing" link.
(Optional) To create a template from the listing, select the "Save this listing as a template” checkbox and use it to sell similar items. 

8. Click List Your Item to list your item on eBay.  

Note: If you start to create a new listing but aren’t able to finish it, eBay saves it as a draft so you can complete it later. To finish your draft listing, click Sell at the top of most eBay pages, and then click the item title link. If you start a new listing, the draft listing will be deleted, so be sure to finish any listing drafts you want to keep before creating a new listing.

You can go back and revise your listing depending on when you do it and if anyone has bid yet. Find out how.

If your item doesn't sell or the transaction isn't fulfilled, you can relist your item.
