I can't believe that I am admitting this, but I am a virgin. Yes, I am an Ebay virgin.

I know the site has been around for a long time, but I just don't seem to have the courage to take the plunge into that ecommerce bargaining world.

Yes, I have purchased many things online from so many different sites, but this world of Ebay seems so large, congested, and complicated I don't know where to begin. I've looked on the site so many times and all the different stuff, but I've never had the courage to bid on one thing.

The thing is I have so much stuff that I need to get rid of, and well, I usually take it to Goodwill, but I'm thinking some of what I have might actually be worth some money. For example, I'm trying to sell comic books and some barbie dolls that have been sitting in boxes for longer than I can remember. Surely, if they have been packed in boxes for so many years I probably don't need them. I'm guessing they might be worth something to someone out there and maybe they will appreciate them more than I have.

Have you ever purchased or bid on ebay? Would you do it again? What were the pros and cons?

    wish i could help you on this- i don't buy from ebay, don't shop there, and have no interest in getting caught up in that whole thing.

    I know alot of people who do sell on ebay and love it though-
    you can set a minimum price for what you sell somehow, so i suggest you look into how to do that.

    Well, at least I'm not the only one that isn't into it. I'll just have to read the directions and hope for the best. will let you know how it goes.

    Do you at least have an idea what you want to get for the stuff you want to sell? Or what it's worth?

    I have a ton of dolls I'd love to get out of my basement! If you do well, maybe I'll go digging!

    I'm going to go online and see if I can find out how much old Barbie dolls are going for.

    I'll let you know.

    Who knows you could pay for those band trips!

    Not an Ebay virgin - I was a bid-a-holic and it became so addictive to me - a personality trait of mine - that I started selling yoga bags so I could keep the bidding alive - but that was me - so tell me what you want to know and I can assist.

    I am - Ask Pearland - new to Soulcast blogging but not an Ebay Virgin!
