My mom was recently talking about try to sell a few things on eBay. This would be her very first attempt at selling something on eBay.

It's a cinch to buy things on eBay, but selling takes a bit more work. So I started looking for some eBay tips & tools that might make the process easier for her.

The good news: If you're not a wiz on the computer and signing up with a credit card (to use PayPal for handling all of the payments associated with your items) sounds intimidating... you're not alone. My mom wasn't crazy about either of those things. But she decided to get with the times in order to take advantage of all that eBay has to offer -- in terms of helping you sell your unwanted items in a ziffy.

Here are the best tools we found to make selling items easier when using eBay.

What if, at the end of the day, you're left with most of the items that you started with?...

If you want to be smiling at the end of your yard sale and feel good that you've sold most of your items, then price everything very low! I'm not kidding.

Otherwise, you'll just end the day frustrated and sad that you went to all this trouble to set up and run a day-long (or 2-day long) yard sale... yet you've got nothing to show for it!

My advice is to just sell everything and be done with it, rather than try to make some outlandish profit in the end. It's far more frustrating to be left with most of what you started with in the end than it is to sell it for too low of a price.

That I know. (Been there, done that.)

Now, what's the best way to go through and price all those items?...
