About to get into Ebay (selling) - any tips?

[CJK]

I am a COMPLETE novice! Any tips to share or know of any pitfalls I should avoid? Thanks for any help!

*please move if this topic is better suited for the budget board*

I just found the FAQ thread on Ebay on the budget board.

Be careful. I have heard of so many people getting ripped off. Here is an ebay discussion board...

Here is a site about PayPal. I know there are problems with it. I don't know how much truth there is to this site but I suppose checking into PayPal issues is probably worthwhile.
