Sell successfully
Being a successful seller on eBay involves gaining buyers’ trust, which in turn helps increase the chances of selling your items and getting more for them. Writing accurate item descriptions, being transparent about your pricing and answering any queries promptly can help build your reputation as an honest, responsible seller.
Get to know eBay policies
Our policies are intended to protect the eBay community from fraudulent activities, dangerous or illegal goods and unscrupulous people. Read our policies and rules.
Write a thorough and accurate description
Writing a good title and description not only increases the chance of your listing being found and sold, but helps build a buyer’s confidence in you. It also means there’s less chance of confusion during the transaction.-
Get paid with PayPal
PayPal is a fast, secure and easy way for you to receive funds and reconcile your transactions. You can accept payments from debit cards, credit cards and bank accounts. You also don't have to share your financial details with buyers, which reduces the likelihood of identity theft. Read more about selling with PayPal. 
Have peace of mind with Seller Protection
PayPal Seller Protection was recently introduced, giving you confidence that protection is available for losses you’re not responsible for.
Sign-up to PayPal now to sell with confidence.
Offer a return policy
If you have a clearly stated return policy on your items, this helps reassure buyers further. Sellers that offer refunds and advertise the fact to customers may attract repeat business. If you’re trading as a business you’re required by law to specify a returns policy.
Set buyer requirements
This allows you to control the type of people buying your items. You can block buyers from bidding on or purchasing your items based on criteria such as whether or not they have a PayPal account, their country of registration, or their buying history on eBay. Find out how to select buyer requirements.
