I guess the best is to begin auction at 1 dollar/euro with no reserve

I haven't sold anything on eBay but I've heard from people who have. I
hope someone corrects me if I get anything wrong.
Things to consider:
eBay fees depend in part on the minimum starting price. The lower the
starting price the lower the fees.
Some people avoid very low minimum bid auctions with no reserve. It's
one of the characteristics of a scam auction.
Some people (I'm one of them) are reluctant to bid any real money on an
auction with very low or zero feedback.
You need to do everything you can to assure the bidders that the auction
is real and not a scam. Be prepared to post pictures that prove you have
the item in hand.
Be up front and specific about shipping charges. Some people won't bid
if the shipping charges aren't specified. It's another common scam where
the seller tells the buyer "Shipping and handling will be $40".
I hope this helps.
