Here are some more information for Trading Assistant:

eBay Trading Assistants are people who have been using eBay and have fallen in love with it. An eBay Trading Assistant has been proven in selling items and they have good feedback and fantastic customer service. An eBay Trading Assistant works long hours for clients both individuals and businesses. Yes OK they charge a commission which to some people may seem rather high, but these men and woman work for it.

So why use an eBay Trading Assistant?

- The main one that jumps right out straight away is that although eBay is known all other the world, not everyone knows how to use it. And this is one the strong selling points you can use as TA. An eBay TA have spent vast amounts of time and money learning how the site works, where the top places are to sell, promote items. They know who to sell and also they know how to buy. This is so important as they can promote your item from both a buyer and sellers mind.

- Another one is we just do not have the time, and the list goes on and on. From the time you hire an eBay Trading Assistant, all the hassle and hard work of selling on eBay is gone. Time is something that we all run short of and these TA's can offer their services to you. This gives you your time back and also when the items sell money in your pocket. These men and woman know eBay inside out, they know how to list, they know where to list, what time to list, and when to finish. They know if it should be sold in auction or buy-it-now. In a nut shell these people are a asset to you as they know how to get the best price for your item.

- Another thing is with these people working on a commission basis only they will work hard to get you the best price for your items. You see the higher the price they are able to get for your item the higher their commission rate. eBay Trading Assistants know all the rules and regulations, as to what can be sold and what cannot be sold on the site.

Also your eBay Trading Assistant will be able to help you know decide if an item is not worth selling,sadly this at times does happen, even with the power of eBay the item will not sell. This could be due to many things but TA's will use things like software and resources that they use on a daily basis, which gives them selling patterns, and at times they will advise you not tot sell your item on eBay or wait for a bit. They do this from research and knowing eBay. The reason they may tell you to wait is due to something taking place that could mean your item could go for a lot more because of an up and coming event.

All in all an eBay Trading Assistant is an asset to you and can help you make money time and time again, and at times get you higher prices just from their experiences.

Ebay Trading Assistant List of Faq

A lot of us have items lying around the home, but don't have the time to sell them.  eBay Trading Assitants, and eBay Drop Stores are there to help, but you need to make sure you ask the right questions to ensure you get the service you are looking for and avoid being scammed.

We asked an eBay Store "We'll Sell You're Stuff on eBay", located in Bundaberg Australia, what common questions Buyers should ask, and their respones.

Is there an upfront listing fee?

There is a small listing fee of $5 if you list your item at a starting bid of $0.99 with no reserve.

 A $0.99 start price is a great way to get lots of people to track and bid on your item!

If you would like your item to start at a fixed price, we do charge a $20 deposit which is credited toward your item when it is sold, however it is not refunded if you item does not sell.  Keep in mind that we will do the research and help you set a realistic starting price, and make every effort to ensure you get what you want.  We also offer a free re-listing if your item doesn't sell the first time!

How do I get my items to you for auction?  Is pick-up available?

Generally, you (the Seller) is responsible for delivering the items to us, however we are flexible and understand that sometimes it's just not possible.  Give us a call and we can arrange to come to your home or workplace - why not get a few friends or co-workers together and Auction your items at the same time?  Items should be cleaned prior to drop off. Items will be inspected, discussed, signed for and possibly photographed at that time. The Seller is also responsible for picking up unsold items within 14 days of notification of online auction end, unless prior arrangements are made.

How long does it take to list my items on online auction after I delivered them to you?

Please allow 2 days for market research, and for us to help you determin the best start price (unless discussed prior to drop off). After the determined starting price has been determined, please allow 3-5 days for items to be listed on online auction.  Feel free to discuss the time frames with us - we understand different people have different needs, and are happy to try to accomodate you!

How long does the online auction run?

Auctions run for 5 days from start to finish unless otherwise specified by the Seller. eBay offers a 3 day, 7 day and 10 day option.

How and when are items posted to buyer?

How - Items are posted via Australia Post and packaged with extreme care.   Items over $100 are registered automatically, and is optional for purchases under $100.

When - Items are posted with 2 days of cleared payment being reiceved - we generally post items the same day, but need to allow for exceptional circumstances, so our Buyers will not be dissapointed.

Who pays for postage costs and materials like boxing?

Buyer pays for postage costs, insurance and delivery confirmation.  We are responsible for all packaging materials, so we can ensure they are properly packed and safely delivered.

When and how do I get paid?

Once we receive payment from the Buyer, we allow a refund period of 5 days.  The ENSURES you get the best bidders for your item and we have a strict refund policy which states that the money will only be refunded if the item is not as described.

We will have payment available to you as soon as we have recieved positive feedback (generally when the Buyer recieves the item), or after the refund period expires.

What if my item doesn't sell?

If, in the unlikely circumstance your item doesn't sell the first time, we offer a free re-lisitng.  Often larger ticket items may require a section auction to draw in the bidders.  If you item doesn't sell, the deposit is not refunded, but we won't charge you any extra.

What if the high bidder doesn't pay for my item?

We request payment from the buyer within 3 days from auction end.  If high auction bidder does not pay within this time frame (plus a short grace period), and unpaid item dispute will be opened with eBay.  Should there still be no resolution your item will be relisted at no charge to you.

Still have questions?

I want you to be comfortable before having your items listed on Ebay auction and am available to talk to you by phone or email - if you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to let me know!

Information wanted on becoming an eBay Trading Assistant?

I've bought a lot on eBay and sold a little. I'm interested in being an eBay Trading Assistant but I'm not sure how to begin (other than signing up on eBay, of course).

www.auctiva.com I believe is the site for you. It has a built in program for consignments, etc. (I looked into it...then I left eBay because of the fees). It is free, but eBay is not.

I am at www.ecrater.com if you want to save money on the consignments, you may do better over there, because eBay takes a chunk and ecrater takes nothing....at all!

I do consignment listings, but my research will cost you...LOL!! I charge about 30% on a sliding scale, reduced as the final value price climbs, to enable my customer/client to have more in their pocket (yes, less in mine...BUT that means they are more likely to come back!) and I take care of packing, shipping, tracking, etc. That is part of the fee.

(LIKE this: $100 item sells to you, and then I charge you for the shipping, that is part of the fee the buyer knows they pay. (that isn't part of this calculation because that is just something that the buyer pays.) Then I would have $70 for my client and $30 for me. As the purchase price climbs, like $1000, the scales (being a percentage) keeps sliding backwards, to allow the client to have more money...and to encourage them to sell larger priced items to begin with (like 30% for the first $100, then 25% for the next $500 then the remainder 20%)...it may sound confusing...but it isn't.
If you need it more clearly explained... I can do that...just ask.

Best wishes.

Fake pot sales skyrocket in St. Charles County
What would happen if marijuana were legalized? The scene might look like the one Thursday night at the South 94 Bait and Tackle Trading Post. Located in Weldon Spring, the store sells K2 and a variety of other synthetic cannabinoids - fake pot.

Thanks for visiting!
