I haven't actually heard of managed payments, I also was not 100% aware that people could do click and collect for my items. Both of these are topics I might do a little research on. 

 

If you have not signed up to managed payments then you will not be paid! Sign up properly and get everything verified before you list anything else.

 

Postage wise, I've looked into flat rate postage costs, my main concern with that is that I am not left with much of a profit margin if I sell books below $20 with free postage.  What's your thoughts on untracked postage?

 

You don't need to do free postage, but know the dimensions and weight of your items so you can combine postage effectively. Only use untracked for very low cost items as unfortunately there are some people in the world who will try it on and if you can't prove delivery you lose eBay protection.

 

Another thing I've noticed is that book sets sell quite well, so I've combined a few of my listings. I might even do book bundles by the same author or topic and see how that goes. 

 

 Personally I love a good bundle! This seller doesn't really do bundles but I have never bought just one book from him, always multiple- he puts an incentive in his listing

I realised with auction houses, I am a bit too excited to win the bid

 

Keep a lid on that! There is no point paying more than you can sell it for- breathe and try to keep a bit of clinical detachment (easier said than done)
