Here are the steps I took to create my account.

1. Sign into eBay (already was a buyer)

2. Click “Sell” in top right corner

3. Select keywords for your item  and choose a category based on them

4. Add pictures (one free.. 15 cents additional.)

This seems slightly unfair.  As an occasional seller (thats what I call myself now), it’s not a big deal, but for people who make a living off eBay this is a pain. Here is a picture of all of my fees.

5. Add your description

This is probably the only place where I came into trouble. After crafting my picture perfect description it ended up looking garbled, like this:

6. Set up/Confirm PalPal Account

7. Confirm Post.

That’s it!  Not so bad. All in all it took my about 5 minutes, after years of contemplating. If my snowboard sells I am immediately addicted.
