Summary

If you want to sell something on eBay, but you don't know how, there are many options available to you. You can attend eBay University (a day-long seminar), take a similar course online or hire an eBay trading assistant.

Details

  • This happened several times, until the obvious dawned on me--I didn't want to spend the time to learn how to post something on eBay.
  • Those are day-long seminars, held in different locations around the country, to introduce people to "Selling Basics" or "Beyond the Basics" in eBay speak.
  • For $59, I could get tips like creating "eye-catching listings," or, for the more experienced, "bulk selling tools."
  • On the other hand, I could avoid leaving my computer altogether and take a similar course online--free for the basics and $19.95 for the more advanced course.
  • Tempting, but I didn't think I'd be enrolling in eBay University anytime soon.
  • These are self-styled experts who also will post your item for you, then pack and ship it once it's sold.
  • Depending on the person and what you're selling, the trading assistant might pick it up from your house.
  • The criteria are pretty loose: to be included in the Trading Assistant Directory, a person must have sold at least 10 items in the last 90 days; at least 100 different people must have left positive feedback on different transactions, with 97 percent positive feedback or higher; and the eBay account must be in good standing.
  • Salzano, 56, became a trading assistant a few years ago, after having been an avid eBay player for some time.
  • His big sale as a trading assistant?
  • eBay in bricks and mortar A personal trading assistant was an option.
  • But so was what is known as a bricks-and-mortar eBay shop--a store where I could drop off my items, and the sales personnel would do all the work.
  • Those who run such stores are also considered trading assistants, said Hani Durzy, a spokesman for eBay.
