Selling on EBay

I won a cell phone from a contest I entered but its Verizon and I have AT&T. I have only bought stuff on EBay..never sold. Has anyone here and do they have any advice?
Thanks, Kate

Congrats!!

is it transferable? I hate ebay now, the fees are so high, there is no protection for the seller anymore, and I dont know how cell phones are doing on it.

what exactly did you win? just a phone? or a plan? thats too cool! I have AT&T too, it doesnt work here at my house, but verizon does. I dont as much mind the phones not working, its a PITA, but I have a land line. But I would LOVE to get an air card from verizon. They just want too much money as a deposit.

Have you thought of Craigslist? Sell it on there..meet at McDonalds.

Just a phone....so I can sell it without the plan as I don't have a plan..they are selling for $150+ on Ebay. I tried Craiglist with no responses thus far. Any advice anyone?

I've sold on eBay. I never make as much there as I think I should, but I do OK. They will charge for everything they can. They charge for setting up the auction, for closing the deal, and then there's a surcharge on paypal payments for auctions. All that being said, I'd go ahead and sell it there rather than wait until it's worth less. Be sure to check on the price for completed auctions so you know what it's likely to sell for, and then take about 10% out of that for eBay's various fees. Be sure to insist on insuring it in the mail.

Thats a bummer Katie.

BTW Congrats on the win.

You can list 5 thigs a month now for free, not sure if it is everyone, I am a Powerseller., I would go for it. I sell my purses and diaper bags on ebay, and I have yet to have one not sell.

How do you know how much to charge for shipping? Insurance? Sorry I am new to this whole thing.

I always charged exactly what it costs to ship it. and I agree, be sure to insure it.

ebay has a shipping calculator, or use USPS.
I always make insurance optional, but I Do put it in the auction that I am not responsible,

What kind of phone? Maybe one of us here would be interested. I upgraded to the Glide the last time and Im not real happy with it.. Now if you have something coool?

Its the Silver Motorola Rival......

I need a new phone, but I'm on AT&T also.
