Hi, I'm fairly new here and am trying to put up some figures on the site to sell but I'm not very tech oriented and could use some help. First off, where do you go on this site to set up a listing of the figure/figures that you want to sell. Secondly, where do I put the pictures of the figures and if the pics are fuzzy cause I don't own a good camera what should I do? Thirdly, how do I figure out the pricing of my figures? (I bought them in US dollars from Japan even if my currency was converted into yen after the purchase). Also, how should I take pics of some of them (a lot of them are in new condition and have never been taken out of their boxes or have been taken out once but never displayed i.e. still in their wrapping)? Finally, how long does it take for someone to buy the figures? As I mentioned MANY of them are in new condition which means I can technically offer them for whatever I originally paid for them. How long should I wait for them to sell? Okay! Those are all my questions if someone could help andswer them for me and maybe walk me throught the process of listing them I would be very appreciative.
Welcome to my blog!

Ebay will take a cut of the sale if you use them--that's how they make money--so it's up to you to decide if it's worth it. However, if you're struggling this much with the technology, I think it's a relevant question to ask whether or not you have PayPal. If you don't have it, I highly doubt anyone on MFC will deal with you, since the goods/services payment option includes buyer protection. PP also takes a cut for this service, but it's much less than what Ebay would take.
For photos, using sunlight is usually best for good photos. if you're not very steady-handed, you could use a tripod stand-in, e.g. a box. Or buy a small, cheap tripod for a few bucks. Also if you're using autofocus, ensure you're far enough away so it can focus on the item in front of the camera - you can always crop the image after (you can use a paint app to do this, or some websites offer cropping).
Figures that haven't been unboxed, just take pics of the box so people can see the condition and legitimacy of the box.
How fast an item sells is going to be almost random - a popular item with a good price is likely to sell within days. An unpopular item may take ages to sell, even with competitive pricing.
I also notice your (approximate) location isn't on your profile - when you advertise, ensure people know at least which country you are in - the internet is international, and it is annoying if you can't work out where someone is, to know if it is worth asking about buying something. If you don't want to sell internationally, it helps to state that in your ads so people know not to bother you if they are not in the same country.
yes, and also anyone who has "wished" the figure will get an email saying it's up for sale.
People tend to go to the MFC page of figures they're interested in buying before they actually buy it. So if you want to sell visibly, comment on the figure's MFC page saying that you have one for sale and state your price. If you want to sell quick, price it lower than market value.
2) Upload your pictures through your pictures into an album and then pick them when you make the ad. So upload them before. If your pics are blurry make sure you take them as steady as possible but I'm guessing there is nothing you can do besides buy a new phone/camera. You could also just say "please msg for pictures" if you'd prefer to take pics on request.
3) Regarding price, look around at some websites that are selling new/used for a comp and price in whatever currency you wish to receive.
4) If they have never been taken out of their box, you can take a pic of any box wear and tear. If they're fine you don't need to provide a pic.
5) I can't say how long it'll take, I'm guessing it's different for every figure. You could also post them elsewhere like Ebay or something if you need them to sell ASAP.
Hope this helps if you need more help I can give some more info.
