Does the first to post on the ad that they'll take it get the item, or does the first to send email get it?

Neither.

Read AND understand the EE rules before participating.

Right after I post d the ad, a buyer contacted me via email while another posted in the ad he would take it. Ethically just wondered who I should sell to since both are serious about the deal

I say "I'll take it" wins only if you mention that it will in your ad.

I've had this argument before in the EE.

Up until the point you make a deal, it is your choice.

I'll take it.

What is it?

Do you accept EBT?

Can you wait until I get my tax refund?

How have you been here since 2001 and not know how this works?

The seller sells to whomever he wishes to sell to, regardless of anything.  It's polite to respond to everyone and not leave them hanging.

First person to contact me via any means asking for payment details gets it.

You are the seller so whoever you want to sell it to gets it. 87 people could say "I'll take it "and you could give it to the 87th if you feel like it because it's your shit and you can sell to whoever you want.

Once the deal is struck, you're locked into that person, but until then…

This

I generally go with the first to respond, in general, and follow up with everyone.

I go by the time stamp.  Someone emails me at 5:00pm saying they want it, and someone posts in the thread at 5:04pm saying "I'll take it"....well, guy that emailed at 5pm gets it.

"Will you take payments? I'm being promoted from jailer to patrol deputy in 6 months and I'll be getting a raise then if you can wait...but I want you to give me the goods now. I'm trustworthy, I'm a deputy...or will be."

whomever has the highest feedback

When multiple offers come in around the same time, I tend to go with whoever has the better feedback (or if I've dealt with them before, they win) or if there's a tie there, whoever seems to be able to get payment the quickest.

I don't sell much on the EE here, but I do sell on a few other sites. Camera stuff mainly.
