sell something on ebay

I have been hesitant about this because it does seem like it could be more hassle than it’s worth, especially since I live around the corner from a charity thrift shop and everyday it’s tempting to just box everything up and drop it off. But I’d like to try it once at least, although I heard that it’s hard to sell the first few items since you won’t have much of a history. I guess we’ll see.
