    I've never sold anything on ebay before, nor have I bought from there either. As far as video games are concerned, I'm selling:

    • PSP 2000 Silver (unmodded)
    • Lexar 16GB Pro Duo
    • MGS Portable Ops
    • Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
    • Ys Seven
    • District 9 UMD
    • Dissida Final Fantasy
    • Dissidia FF Guide
    • Kenka Bancho Badass Rumble
    • Loco Roco 2
    • Hard Plastic PSP Carrying Case
    • Gamestop UMD Game Case.

    I'm going to sell it as a bundle because I need to be rid of the entire thing, nothing hanging around. Does anyone have any tips for selling these kinds of things on Ebay?

    *Days later...*

    here's my listing! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190641701334#ht_3383wt_1392

    *edit* formatting...

    Jeez, you might have some trouble having 0 history on the site. Take lots of pictures and include them, including close-ups of the screen, offer a return clause and don't agree to ship anything outside of your local country. And, although there's a fee, accepting only PayPal ensures you won't get completely shammed. Lotta scammers out there, be cautious and don't be a cheapskate when it comes to listing additional photos.

    @CosmicQueso: Yeah i knew having no history would be against me so I definitely planned on including MANY detailed photos :) I have a bunch of other things to sell as well, but I'd rather post one at a time so it doesn't look suspicious. Just one part of my Get-Outta-Debt sale. I've got a paypal account hooked up so I'll make sure I only take paypal. Should I request all the money up front or how does that usually work?

    @mordecaix7: If you force them to pay through PayPal then there's an automated checkout thing buyers have to use so full payment will be complete before you receive shipping instructions. Just be prepared for people to ask if they can send you a money order and have you close the auction early and I always get a request or two to send to Africa or Russia, also via out of auction methods. All of these things will result in you losing your stuff and not getting paid. You can also set up buyer preferences to limit the kinds of people that can bid on your item.

    Pretty much this. Making it PayPal only is a smart thing to do. For the few things I did on eBay, I did the same thing.

    For posting more then 1 photo without paying eBay to post more, use a site like ImageShack and use HTML codes to put more images on your page for free.
