im 17 years old and normal "teenage" jobs like fast food restaurants and all that crap just arent me. i have TONS of clothes and they are nice name brand clothes and i think i could sell them and make easy profit. but im not sure how the shipping works, i mean what do you have to buy to ship the clothes to the buyer? if someone who has done this before could tell me how to do it i would really appreciate it.
      Answer1:No. When youre 17 you dont have the legal right to enter into a contract, which selling merchandise involves. It may not be written as a contract but its obviously implied.
      Answer2:If you want a legit and convenient way to make money check out my blog below. It is a free online program and anyone 13 and older can make money from this site.
      Answer3:i doubt you can sell things on ebay as a minor.. also you would need a paypal account (not *necessary*, but will make things much easier since you wont have to worry about waiting for checks to clear, or money orders getting lost in the mail).as for shipping the products, you charge the buyer however much it costs for you to ship the products. you can ship them usps priority mail, and the priority mail boxes/labels are free. plus, they have flat-rate shipping boxes available, so you can state the shipping cost on your ebay listing so the buyer knows how much it is in advance. anyway you would send out the products AFTER you receive payment. why dont you ask your parents if you can list your things on their ebay/paypal account? if they dont have one already, have them open an account you can use? if something were to go wrong, your parents will be responsible, so HAVE YOUR PARENTS REVIEW WHAT YOU WROTE AND GET PERMISSION **BEFORE** posting the products. then you can be the one taking the photos, listing and describing the products youre trying to sell, then make sure you ship out the orders on time.
      Answer4:you need a paypal account and be over 18.you could have your mom sell it or make an ebay account till you get 18.shipping just go to ups.com or usps.com,should know the weight of it before sending it.for clothes just get some of the boxes that im sure you got when you were a kid.
      Answer5:As regards your age, it may create problem. But you can override it by using your parents name.For shipping, you have to do some research. As eBay means the whole planet is involved, you need to decide which countries can avail your service. And once you decide that, check out the different shipping services that offer safe and cost-friendly service. It may also happen that for some countries, the courier company A is better while for another country, the courier company B will be better. Make a note of this.If possible, talk to their representatives in your area for further discounts considering that it is a long term association. Most of them will be more than happy to join hands with you.Some services may charge different prices for different regions in a country. Work on it and reach the average before posting the shipping charges to your product cost.Hope this satisfies your query.
      Answer6:its really easy once you get the hang of it. first you need a checking account. you can set one up at your local bank, and you usually need to have a minimum of $25 in it. then you need to set up a PayPal account. (www.paypal.com) when customers pay you, the money goes into this account, and you can transfer it straight into your checking account. just think of PayPal as a holding account. the easy part is listing your items. to do this, just click on "sell" on the ebay homepage. you just follow the guides, and put up pictures of the items. ebay charges for every pictures over 1 and every enhancement you do to the listing. it usually costs about $.50/listing, and you have to pay this even if the item doesnt sell. you pay selling fees once a month, which is deducted out of your checking account.good luck. (if you need any more help, email me....ive sold tons of stuff on ebay)
