I want to sell some of my toys that I no longer want to keep. Please give me your advice. Also, I am using a Walmart Money card, so I wonder how that may affect my revenue.

Why not post it here first? I prefer buying outside of ebay cause then the seller can sell and not get nailed by paypal and ebay fees.

That's usually why items can be cheaper on the boards because you can subtract about 15% off the price since that's usually ebay's cut.

I'd recommend a paypal account. Sure there are paypal fees, but paypal's 2% beats the combined 15% total from ebay and paypal both.

if you do end up posting stuff on ebay, I'd suggest putting a Buy It Now price if you can. Too often I don't bother bidding on stuff because it gets sniped at the last minute. I'll buy something at £10 outright well before I'll touch most 1.99 auctions with 4 days to go. Oh and actual pics of the actual item are a must, as is a properly spelled description. That always puts me off bidding.

Here's what I found so far.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Scout Scattorshot ($15)
Transformers 2010 Scout Hubcap ($15)
Transformers 2010 Scout Insecticon ($15)
Transformers 2010 Deluxe Battle Blade Bumblebee ($20)
Marvel Universe Luke Cage ($15)

They are all MISB. I also might need tips on shipping and how to deal with costs.

I have a bunch of figures that I want to sell. Is it better to sell individually or as a lot, especially if they are from the same line?
