Just be careful on whose sites you bid. Always check feedback and don't be afraid to try those other newbies. You have to start somewhere. Everybody was new once, but don't put out major credits unless you are sure. Listia does help you recover your credits, but until you learn who to and who to not trust. always bid on those with free shipping. Then you won't get burned. When I was first on the site, I did all free shipping on my first listings so people wouldn't be afraid to bid. They had little to lose by bidding on my stuff that way. Start small and work your way up and join Listia Badges on FB or one of the other FB Listia forums. They are great and you can learn much from everyone that way. Good luck. Lynn
