My first experiene with ebay was when I sold a vaccuum sweeper 2000. Actually my sister, laurashrout (her ebay username), sold it for me. I created my username and account in 2004 and found it user friendly and trustworthy if you pay attention to what you're doing. Since then I've had good success selling and buying on ebay. My guiding philosopy is to treat others the way I would want to be treated. It works well for me.
Payment policy
It's been well over a year since I sold anything on ebay and I haven't reviewed the changes yet but for now I'll say PayPal is a very good way to pay.
Shipping information
Again, I need to update myself on ebay changes over the last year but I'll ship to the US and you pay the postage.
