Does anyone on here go on there?

If so is it worthwhile(selling)? or is it a load of hassle?

Is there much scope for a profit?

I have a boatload of stuff in the loft i want rid of(books, toys etc etc) and im thinking of registering on there to get rid of it.

yes mate I sell quite a bit on e bay.mainly tickets,but plenty of other stuff too. it's a handy tool but don't expect to make a profit. if you are going to sell read the conditions especially about fees.you are pretty much forced to use paypal to accept payment(it is the safest mind) and they charge as well. make sure you know exactly how much your item will cost to post and charge it to the seller.
e bay is a monopoly rip off really but you can still make money as long as you are switched on to all the charges

People will buy any old shite from you. One mans junk is another mans treasure. In terms of hassle then yes, you have to wrap i up and post it but thats all.

Oh, and do your research first so you know how much to charge. You can search how much similar items have sold for.
