Submitting items on Yahoo Auctions = tiring.

The steps...
1) "dig" out all the items you want to sell.
2) take nice photo of all the items. (no blurry photos please..)
3) Upload all onto my computer, then edit all the photos. (eg when it's too dark or too bright or needs to rotate)
4) find the right category to sell your item...
5) upload photos one by one. Max 3, total 3MB.
6) type in the title of your item
7) describe the item, as clearly and carefully as you can.
8) think of what starting price to put and type it in (too expensive, no one buys. too cheap, lugi loh..)
9) If not sure of the price, check if other people are selling the same item.
10) Adjust length of auctions (mins 2days, max 10days)
11) Select the sales/ Shipping policies.
12) Put down the shipping price.
13) If item is too bulky, let people know that you do meet ups at step 7, right after you describe your item.
14) Put in the start time and closing time of auction
15) Adjust the min bidder rating (none, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
16) Check the Auto Extension and Allow Early Close boxes.
17) Adjust the Auto Resubmit (0 times to 5 times)
18) Click Continue button.
19) Check photo and description properly in the preview page.
20) If every thing's alright, click Submit Auction button.

for the rest of the items,
repeat steps 4-20 until all the items has been submitted. =)

*at any point of time when the service is suddenly and temporary unavailable (which is quite often, esp when uploading photos and when submitting)... I just have to redo for that item.
