I started off by selling low value items and accepting paypal, cheque or bank transfer.

If you are trying to sell expensive goods on a zero feedback, buyers will be wary. But if it's your own no longer wanted items, they usually sell.

Dvds, books, videos and so on.
If you're serious about selling, it will pay to be patient and buy some items first to build up some feedback. OK, you don't want other people's tat, but you can buy virtually anything on eBay, a lot of it brand new from big traders, who won't be put off by your '0' FB. There must be some day-to-day items you need.

I started selling very successfully with a FB of 18, but I'm sure 10 would have sufficed. Good luck!
you can buy ebooks for between 1p and �1 on ebay, they'll email you it and give you pos feedback. simple
you will need a paypal account though

thanks to every1 for ideas. FOR LOUKR -how do i do this ebook thing- and does it show on your account that uve only brought e books , as if i do it may put people off ?
im new to ebay but i do have a paypal account sorted.
why dont you setup some auction with the option to buy it now for 1p. Then get your friends to buy them all.
alot of people will just check the feedback score, so number of feedback received and feedback score, and won't bother going through all theitems you've bought. If I came across a seller who had done this I wouldn't suspect them as being dodgey, just the same as you, trying to get your feedback up so people will buy!

Type ebook into the search on ebay, it will come up with all sorts of rubbish that you can but really cheap, you pay 50p on paypal (or however much it costs) they'll email you the ebook or email you a link to the site if it's a website, and hey presto you get pos feedback! lol

Some people even sell pictures that they email to you, (either nice tropical islands or er... their girlfriends) which are also cheap... for obvious reasons!

Alternatively just but some cheap cds and dvds, they shouldnt cost much and in most cases you can re-sell them anyway.

Get a paypal account set up if you havent already as most buyers will want to pay via this, also sellers prefer to accept paypal too. this will take about a week but again it's worth it.

Good Luck
