Set up a paypal account first as this is how the majority of buyers will pay also it takes a little while to get verified. When a buyer buys your item, you will be notified by paypal to say that the buyer has paid either instantly or a echeque (dont send until it clears, its like a normal cheque) Also as you are a new seller Paypal will hold the funds for 21 days or until the buyer has left feedback. Might be a good idea to check out paypals FAQ.
Scammers tend to target newbie sellers so be careful! Never EVER send to Nigeria 100% scam & always send to the buyers Paypal address. Also there are NO third parties that hold money in trust or some crap like that.
There are buyer blocks on ebay that you can set to prevent these scammers & non paying bidders such as "countries you don't post too" "non verified members" etc see the site map on how to do this buyer requirements I think its called. Also a good place to ask questions & learn from experienced ebay members is ebays community forums/answer board, much better then asking on YA. So if you are UNSURE of anything it doesn't hurt to ask.
& ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS especially for high priced items send by trackable/signature delivery, this is to prevent the buyer saying I didn't receive it (if you cant provide proof paypal will return their payment) Some buyers tend to avoid new sellers, so it might be a good idea to buy some things you want & build up your feedback. Its also teaches you a little about how ebays transactions work. Read the selling tutorials (see site map) & view other similiar items to see how the seller has presented the item.
All I can think of at the moment Hope this has been some help...it sounds daunting I admit but when you know how it works it can be fun.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
