Sell on Ebay with Help

Posted by Marie on September 11, 2008

Everyone can use some extra cash these days. As all those articles and advice columns will tell you, selling things you no longer need is a great way to do that. You benefit doubly.

1. You have a less cluttered and more organized house.
2. You’ll gain the extra money from their sales.

Even though there are many more choices today, eBay is still a strong option for selling unwanted items. For such an assignment, your personal assistant can help in a number of ways:

1. The two of you can go through your rooms and storage areas to choose appropriate items.
2. You may want him/her to take digital photographs of everything.
3. The personal assistant could set up the user accounts for eBay and PayPal, the easiest way to receive your eBay payments.
4. All the item descriptions need to be written and a full listing created.
5. Once the listing is up, your assistant can handle any questions that come through.
6. After a sale is completed, he/she can also package up and ship your items.
7. Lastly and importantly, your money will need to be taken out of PayPal and transferred to your bank account.

Please note: It is best to do this only if you or your personal assistant is already well versed with eBay. It is very easy to lose money through listing fees and unsold items.
