I've never sold anything on Ebay before. Anything I should know before I list some tickets I don't want? I know there's a tutorial at the site, but I wanted to get some tips from people who've already sold stuff.

Just in general, if there's anything you wish someone had told you before you started selling on Ebay. I'm sure I won't have any trouble, I'm just curious as to any tips experienced sellers can give.

Did you end up getting more than you would've trading them in at school?

For what show are these tickets? I've sold tickets on a few different sites and depending on how popular the band is I can give you pretty good advice.

Pay attention to when your auction ends. The first time I sold shit, my auction ended when I was busy as fuck and even out of town and those fuckers sent their payment IMMEDIATELY via paypal, so I felt really rushed and stressed out.

if you are selling tickets to an event, you will only be able to sell them at face value, in some states because of scalping laws, good luck

Take a look at other people's auctions, and do something similar. And as has already been said before, be careful about when your end time is. I think the best time to make it is in the evening, when most people are home from work

I don't have to worry about pesky expenses like going out, having a social life, or bar alcohol prices.

Only racially cleansing your child's toys.

That didn't cost me anything, other than a bit of time.
