Hi Randy,
over here, eBay sometimes does specials on selling stuff, even some free listings on weekends. Don’t know if that is also the case in the USA. Just check.

Shipping here is usually paid by buyer and is listed or quoted seperateIy in the advert. One could get badly caught out with shipping so check out pricing.
I sold a 3ft. teddy bear from my collection last year, Shipping was $120 on a $200 Bear. She lived on the other side of the country, lucky for me I had listed ask for quote before bidding because of the size of the item. She was happy to pay
it , but I could have been badly caught out, if I’d just put in a flat rate, because if she’d been more local , it would have only been a quarter of the price.

Also make sure that you put you’re only posting within your own country.
I had someone bid on my keyboard the other day from Bulgaria, other side of the world, even though my advert was listed as Australia only, ( not international. ) I was able to cancel bid without any hassles.

Good luck.
