I'm one of the very few who have never bought anything from Ebay, and I don't have a clue how the thing works. So I would like to know if anyone here has bought anything from there, and how payments are made.

I'm looking for Toy Story 2 for either the Dreamcast or Playstation (there is one on ebay just now, but I can't buy stuff till the weekend), and Toy Story for the MegaDrive. If anyone has these and wants to sell them then we can maybe talk, but I would like some advice about Ebay.

Thanks in advance.

I cannae sign my debit card up for eBay. Keeps saying "technical difficulties". PayPal straight out refused my card. :c\

I'll wait a week and then contact NatWest.

Everyone has to start somewhere, though unless gamezfreak is planning on running before eBay bill him he needs to deduct his listing fees and final value fees from that profit :)

I vary my starting prices, some stuff if started too low will sell too low.
