An Official eBay Seller

I am quite excited. I just sold my first item ever on eBay today. I sold a cell phone that I wasn't using that is actually brand new (I had insurance on my old phone, the old one broke, I got a new one, but in the mean time I bought another one).

The whole eBay thing turned out to be much easier than I had thought, although it did take a while to sift through all of the options with how to set up your ad. You can bold it. You can add a photo. You can add a boarder to to the ad. You can add some color. You can add a "thumbnail" description. All of these things cost money. I think the whole thing cost me about $5 to list it and then another % of the sale to PayPal.

I just dumped off the package at the Post Office and bought insurance, registered it, and did a return receipt confirmation. This is a bit nerve wracking too. What if the guy doesn't get it? What if he crushes me and my eBay ranking goes down (I am at 100% right now!!!)???
