I used to make my living on eBay, started by selling off my old games then moved onto dropshipping from Amazon and Walmart.com

First of all, if you can help it, don't sell on eBay. See if you can hock these on Craigslist as eBay fees + PayPal fees are about 14% of your profit. Amazon is better than eBay for these sort of things imo too.

Selling games on eBay is only worthwhile if you have a paid account, but it looks like they are offering a free trial right now so that's good news for you.

This will save you a good amount in the Video Game category. Check out this calculator to see what you will be netting: http://finalfeecalculator.com/

You should probably list everything individually with nice clear photos that stand out in thumbnail (unlike the one you posted).

You can get cheap bubble mailers on eBay or Amazon. Ship with USPS First Class purchased through eBay. It's fast and super cheap. You don't need a scale, just look up what a GBC game weighs in the attached chart and add an oz or two for the packing materials. You can wrap the shipping invoice around the game for extra protection.

I have only ever done BIN, but I would imagine that it's your safest bet, but auction is probably fine for the more popular games as there is a big demand for them.

I like Amazon better because you don't need to put images up or anything, and they give you a shipping credit that is usually more than it actually costs to ship the item, thus reducing your fees. The issue with them is they take like 2 weeks to get your money whereas PayPal is instant (though if you've never sold on eBay before some of your funds will be held by PayPal).

Also, a helpful picture to help you figure out how much postage you should buy when shipping to another anons.

Just thought I'd add this, a weight chart to approximate the amount of postage you should buy when shipping games.
