I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress, and possibly my current pram (if I can convince DH to let me get another pram :lol: ) . I've never used either before, and I'm a bit nervous! Any tips would be great!

My biggest tip is to always list things after business hours, but not Friday or Saturday nights! Choose times that people will be at home, bored and trawling eBay for things, you'll get heaps more bids that way. I usually list things like clothes etc on a Sunday afternoon or around 7pm on a weeknight so that when the auction ends (in 7 days' time), the people I want to bid will be sitting at home and more likely to be (eg if they've seen it earlier and put it on their 'watch' list) able to bid as many times as they like, itms. Some people sit on eBay at work but they can't really focus on it as they're trying to do their job at the same time, they're not home on Friday or Saturday nights, so weeknights are the best for getting lots of last-minute bids :) Good luck, I hope you get good prices for your gear!
Also think: If you wanted to buy an item like what you are selling, what would you like to know about it?
Try and add as much relevant information as possible.
Monday nights are good for starting then ending an auction :).
Definitely put as much information as possible about each item and have a few photos of them.
If you're not in a huge hurry for them to sell, give Gumtree a go because it's free. I've sold HEAPS of things through Gumtree and have been rapt not to pay! eBay's fees are becoming ridiculous when you have to factor in PayPal fees too (also owned by eBay). Also, prams are very hard to sell on eBay (unless they are a currently sought after brand), so Gumtree is a good option.
Good luck :D
