firstly if your going to sell on e bay tell your parants. when seeling on e bay its a very good idea to have a paypal account you will need a credit card for this, here your parants can help you out, it is very difficult to make much money on painted miniatures unless they are painted to a very high standard, in fact its quite possible to end selling for even less than if they were unpainted,

ok..lets say that my new minis are painted to a very high standars with sky earth nmm and stuff(i have made that and i think it looks good)..so only one question..how is a paypal account working?

You\'ll need a credit card just to sell on eBay, there are fees involved which will be deducted when you list your auction.

Check out www.paypal.com to signup for an account.

I\'d say you ask an adult for help... paypal is pretty easy and straightforward, but ebay can become confusing very easily. Also, when selling minis you have got to set up a set of terms & conditions to avoid trouble afterwards...

Be sure your minis are good enough, otherwise you\'ll loose a lot of money on ebay fees (ebay isn\'t free you know) or sell of your minis for the price of the unpainted mini or even less...
