Yea, most samples are just that... A sample of what you can have. Some companies still send out the little glass vials, but not too often. I'm sure its to save money on the advertisements. Lol. I've got tons of samples I'm about to post, so keep an eye out for them! :)
Well, it's pretty simple! :) You list auctions of stuff you don't want/need anymore (you do better if you add photos and free shipping). That's how you get the credits. I'd advise you try selling small stuff first and get your seller wings and trusted seller badge before you try selling bigger expensive things. Those things people prefer you have those little pink badges under your name and pictures of your Listia screen name next to the item. Unfortunately there are a lot of fake auctions on this site from people who don't seem to understand that if you are a newbie, you can't get the credits until the winner claims they got the item. lol. I try to always sell small things that can ship easy and bring in at least 1000 credits. And if you are bidding on something, make sure it's legit. lol. If it's a dvd or cd, ask for a picture of the bottom of the disc. If it's jewelry, ask for a picture of the back so you can see if there are any markings. There are some pretty simple rules they have here, so if you follow them you should be just fine. You can not auction off anything that can be eaten, like baby formula, toothpaste, mouthwash, food, etc. That's just to keep everyone safe. Also, pictures are very helpful, but they are not necessary. If you aren't able to get a picture of an item be sure to explain why in your description. And if you are asking questions on someone's auction but after days they aren't responding, you may have found someone trying to scam. Hope this all helps! And if you wand to message me with any other questions, I will be happy to help! :)
