    If you are crafty look into searching on ebay for things that you can make. If you know it is a great item and you can make it, why not sell it? Try to sell something others are not.

    Yes you can still sell and buy items with 0 feedback, the limits will be displayed for you when you sell an item. As far as buying an item with 0 feedback, thats still ok too, be sure to leave each other positive feedback once the transaction is over. Everyone has to start somewhere.

    Just be careful, eBay and PayPal like to suspend people's account.

    As long as you abide by the rules there should not be any problems. Just make sure what your selling is legitimate.

    Just start posting, and make it look legitimate. Make sure you don't scam, or get scammed!

    Yes you can sell your items even if your feedback on ebay is zero. However just think by yourself, first if you are buying the same product, would you buy from a seller who has zero feedback ?
    If not then what else would you see of the seller before buying the product from him. So first, that is what you have to work for. Try to make a good sales pitch with attractive images and title and make sure you display all the angles of your product in different images ;)

    U'll be charged the fee the second u click "submit" to submit ur listing and yes u have to pay for re-listing ur item too + u have to cover paypal fees as well.
    What u should do first is to grab a calculator and do some math to get ur selling price. Once u have ur math done, make the listing... a couple of dollars in fees haven't killed anyone.

    Means even the first time listing I also have to pay the fee? what about if the item not sold? as i know we have to calculate all the fees (ebay + paypal fee) before we put the price..only then we can make a profit..

    eBay is one of the most popular affiliate network. so i don't think they will close your account without any reason :)

    You surely can!
    everyone starts with 0 feedback somewhere or the other,
    if you are going to deliver good products then people will probably start leaving feedback for you
    but for this to happen you must have to start by posting a listing on ebay.

    I have no clue about the listing limit, may be some ebay pro can answer your question about that

    There is 3 types of fees:
    1. a fee to post
    2. another fee on top of the first one if the item sells
    3. and the 3rd fee is the paypal fee.

    Using a dropshipper to fufill orders on eBay is just asking for trouble.

    Also, when you first start selling on eBay, you will be subject to a 21 day hold on funds. This means you will have to ship anything you sell before Paypal releases your funds. Funds can be released if the buyer leaves feedback or you use Delivery Confirmation and the item shows delivered. This is where using a dropshipper can create a major problem.

    Also, if the dropshipper doesn't use online viewable Delivery Confirmation, you are going to have buyers filing INR (Item Not Received) cases against you and get items for free.

    Before selling on eBay, you need to be aware of a lot more than fees.

    You can ask ebay and paypal this question and your answer will be - because we can. This is because ebay and paypal have very bad attitudes towards their customers
