I have a few large items I would like to try and sell on Ebay. Since these would have to ship by freight carrier and the buyer would pay, how would I handle getting paid for the shipping? I have no way to weigh the items (close to two hundred lbs). I'm thinking the buyer would pay for the item, I would take the item to a freight terminal and the buyer would then be responsible for payment to the freight company. I'm not really sure how this works...help please.

you could advertise "Freight collect"
The terms FOB and CAP indicate Freight on board (Buyer pays for shipping) and Customer arranged Pickup.
I would specify "Items weigh in excess of 200 lbs. Seller will deliver to a Buyer specified shipper within XX miles. Shipping shall be prearranged by Buyer and Shipper will ship at buyer's expense." Does it need crating for shipment? then that should also be arranged.
