Postal Service Hosts eBay Seminars at the Lexington Westkill United Methodist Church

Lexington, N.Y. —The Postal Service will host free seminars on how to sell items on eBay. “eBay is great for small businesses or for the homeowner who simply wants to make extra money on items no longer used.

Interested persons can learn how to:

  • photograph and download pictures online
  • write effective descriptions of merchandise
  • post items on eBay
  • set attractive starting bid prices
  • use the “Buy It Now” option
  • sell items on eBay
  • ship items without leaving home
