sorry, my friends if this seen lazy on my part or stupid
the problem is, that i am trynying to sell something in ebay and when i am listing the item that i am trying to sell it is saying that i need to specific a shipping cost to buyer. i dont get that even thought i have read almost all the main thing i need to know about it to sell.
my question is i dont know the shipping price because, i dont know who i am shipping to. how can i specific shipping without knowing where it is going
another question do i need a paypal to get paid, i dont neither have a credict or debit card. the only thing i got is a bank account is that fine for people to make payment to me

Re: general question about ebay
There is a shipping calculator on most eBay listings. You will need to know rthe dimensions and weight of the BOXED item you are selling. You will need AT LEAST 2 inches of void fill between the item and the box. To determine the minimum box size you will need, measure each dimension of the item you are selling and add 4 inches. You might even want to add an additional inch or two to that since you probavbly will not find a box with those exact dimensions. Then weigh the item on your bathroom scale and add another 5 or so pounds for the box and packing materials.
I've made a database of most everything I've shipped in the past 3 years or so (over 100 electronic instrumennts). From your list, I sold a SPS-1. The box I shipped it in was 20" x 12" x 7" and weighed 10 pounds.
You will need to set up a PayPal account to get paid. It is my understannding that with new sellers, eBay/PayPal will hold your payment until the buyer receives the item and posts positive feedback or after a certain amount of time if they post no feedback at all - so keep that in mind.
Be sure to look at completed listings to see what things have been selling for and to expect your item to sell within that ballpark. Also expect to pay about 10% in fees to eBay and PayPal, netting you about 90% of the final selling price.
