Get Selling Assistants on eBay.

There are a few places out there where you can get help selling your stuff on eBay. The one I am posting about is the "trading assistants" that register with eBay.

From eBay.com: "What are Trading Assistants?
Trading Assistants are experienced eBay sellers who have indicated they are willing to take your items on consignment and sell them for you on eBay for a fee. If you want to sell your stuff on eBay, but don't have the time, a Trading Assistant can help. Each Trading Assistant has a feedback score of at least 100, has experience selling items on eBay, and has at least 98% positive feedback from buyers and sellers on previous transactions."

From the URl above you can search for a "trading assistant" in your area (or closest to you). The requirements that eBay has for the TA's makes me feel better about using one.

Another way to have a TA help you sell is by choosing a TA that has a "Drop off Location". These eBay Drop off Locations are popping up everywhere.

The only downside to using a TA is that they charge a fee (TA fees vary, you and the TA agree upon the amount before a transaction begins). Make sure you know whether the TA's fee's cover any fee's from eBay/PayPal.


*Businesses can use TA to sell unwanted inventory



Disclaimer from eBay.com: About the program:

"Trading Assistants are not employees or independent contractors of eBay, nor do we endorse or approve them. Each Trading Assistant runs his or her own independent business, free from any involvement by eBay. You should apply the same standards in selecting a Trading Assistant as you would in hiring anyone to perform a service for you. Use good judgment and common sense in making your choice."
