    I have sold practically everything on eBay - so I'm a big eBayer! With postage it depends on what you are selling - it's pretty basic, you can get online quotes on the Australia post website where you put in the dimensions of the package. It's just not as easy with heavier weighing items like big books. I have sold toys, clothes, furniture, books, appliances, bags, even cars on eBay lol! It has been worth it in my experience, but there are some categories of stuff that aren't as easy to sell ie jewellery due to the competition. For the larger items ie furniture you can do a classified ad where it is actually free to list but you just can't post it - has to be local pick up only. Good luck!

    I sold all my ex display UCW stuff on eBay - I made sure to start it at the absolute minimum I would accept for it, so anything higher was a bonus. I found it really good, the only annoying part was taking pics and putting it all up. I always set it at 7 days so there was a weekend in there, the highest views were always on a weekend.

    Good luck!

    We had a stall at the baby and kids market too and made a heap. Sold some bigger items like a play pen, swing and something else I can't remember and got good prices for them. Sold a ton of mcns and got great prices for them within minutes of the market opening. Took a ton of clothes and toys and while only selling them for $1 to $5 each, still well and truly worthwhile. From memory we made about $2300 on the day.

    Have sold bigger stuff on eBay like prams, cot, cradle etc and got good prices for them but I couldn't be bothered with little stuff. Like a pp said, would rather just give it to the Salvos.
