Help with a techno phobe

After my husband passed away I wanted to sell the whisky that he had saved. I found Whisky Hammer on the internet and found them so helpful in explaining what to do and how they sold it.

I am a complete novice in selling things this way also with the internet, but they guided me through each stage without making me feel a right idiot. :)
