Cant sell or buy

So I tried to sell something for the first time so I can earn money for my sister's Christmas gift so I put up something went out the app to use calculator to figure out how many things I need to sell and for what price I go back to the app and go to sell and it said "there was a connection error " it didn't exactly say that but I don't remember it was something similar then I go to inbox and it says the same thing so then I wanted to look at some things other sellers put up so I searched something in and then it said "invalid access token.check the value of the authorisation HTTP request header " so I went out the app came back in went through the categories, sell,inbox and search and same thing i don't know what to do I just got the app today to save some money for my sister's expensive Christmas gift

Something in the account setup is missing/incomplete ... Apps can be unreliable ... using a PCLaptop, recheck to include Current UK Banking account and Card details on file in order to send and receive payments  through Managed Payments. >

You sound quite young - you do have to be 18 to have an Ebay account.

Are you over 18?

You have got one item listed so obviously got that right.

The rest of my post is advice on selling - it is not intended to be critical or harsh or to discourage you.

 

I am not an expert in fossils, but you have listed yours as 'brand new' and in reptiles and dinosaurs when it probably is not either of those things.

Have a look at other fossils for sale, especially ones that have sold.  Sold ones tend to be complete, large and unusual.  Ones for sale seem to be offering groups of fossils for about £5.

Without several clear photos, a detailed title and description and a much lower starting price, I think you will get a disappointing response to your item.
