New eBay sellers who create up to three auction-style or Fixed Price listings will receive their insertion and Gallery upgrade fees for free. In order to qualify for the special offer, the eBay member must not have sold on eBay before, and must list their first three items during the promotional period (October 17-21, 2006).
I have never sold on ebay before because of all the additional fees and trouble I have to go through for shipping. I'm a total Craigslist junkie. If you have it in your area it is so much better!
You can buy from someone in your local area which means you have the opportunity to view the item before you purchase it and a lot of times can bargain for a better price. PLUS there is NO S&H or other fees like ebay would tack on.
