The most common cause of that is something partially blocking the drain... lodged in the bend in your toilet

1. Plunge good and flush...and repeat, using a good plunger like this:

2. If that does not take care of it, you snake it out with one of these; a "closet auger":


They're $30 at HomeDepot. This is your first step - and would be a plumber's first step, too...so save yourself the $50-$75 trip charge for a plumber and try this first step yourself.

Let us know how it goes.
