If you are set on selling EBay, here are a few things to consider.  I use the word consider because they may not apply to your situation...

1) Only sell to countries that can do verified shipping.  There are alot of evil people in the world and they love Ebay.  If you can't prove something, they will take you to the cleaners.

2) Only sell to countries that you can have insurance.  ALWAYS insure the package.  Do not make it an option.  That way IF it is broken in transit, you are covered.

3) If it is Amiga, it is old.  Do not give any garuntees past "It worked when pulled" etc. State "SELLING AS IS" and "NO RETURNS" because people can break it and claim you sold them broken goods.

4) Set limit for buyer's feedback rating. Some sellers state no bidders with a feedback lower then ##.  This keeps out swindlers and the like.

5) State in advance how you want to get paid.  I like paypal, others don't.  but it is secure enough for me.  Paypal notifies Ebay of payment and also of shipping if you do it through them.  This covers your but in multiple ways.

sheesh!  Didn't think there were that many ideas floating around in my head!  Good luck and don't for get to post a link in the marketplace forums!
