What we can sell for you on
eBay We are generally looking for items that will sell for $75 or more on eBay. We will sometimes make exceptions to this, but usually items selling for less do not make for a good transaction for either party. eBay does best with items that have a name brand,though this is not absolutely mandatory. Items that can be shipped at a reasonable cost are also better performers in auctions. What we do for you
The two basic arrangements 1 - eave the Driving to uso:p> This is our preferred method. You don pay anything up front, and we determine the best way to get the highest selling price on eBay. Frequently this means setting a low starting bid, but not always. It generally is a 7 day auction. Since we work on commission, we want the item to sell well and our 5000+ auctions give us a sense of how best to achieve positive results. 2 ou driveo:p> You set a starting bid and auction duration, and can use a uy It Now There is a re-paymentfor using this method: $20 for the first $100 of starting bid plus $1 for each additional $100. This pre-payment is applied against the commission if the item sells (i.e., it is not an additional fee). If the item doesn sell after 2 listings, the pre-payment may be forfeited usually we will, with your permission, re-list the item at a lower price to get a sale. [more
information on the other side] We pay all fees* other than the eBay Commission (Final Value Fee) which is typically 2 3%. Our commissions begin at 35% and decline as the value of the item goes up. For items expected to sell for more than $3000, we will negotiate a commission. There are circumstances under which we will negotiate a lower commission, in line with the level of effort involved in marketing the items.
Our commissions: 35% of the first $500 ($20
minimum)
25% of the next
$500
20% of the amount over
$1000
Some
"easy to do" items are charged a lower commission; automobiles are
on a fee basis rather than
commission
Upon
request, we will match the commission structure of any local Questions to ask
when considering doing it yourself or using another eBay 1.
What is
your/their eBay Feedback Rating
While it doesn make much difference for an inexpensive item, many eBay
buyers won bid for expensive items unless the seller has sufficient
feedback (more than 500 with 99% or better positives). We have received more than 3400
positives (99.7%). Some of
the local competitors are below 99%.
Ask to see their negatives; it is public information and you are
entitled to see it. 2.
Are you
prepared to deal with fraud? There are
many ways that criminals ayfor an item, receive it, and then the
payment bounces; counterfeit money orders, forged cashier checks,
fraudulent credit card chargebacks, etc. I know ways to protect myself, and
in any case, I am assuming the risk of bogus payment; you are insulated
from it. 3.
What is
your/their experience /B> There is no substitute for
experience on eBay. Wee
done around 5000 auctions.
This is especially important to ask about when considering using a
franchise; it doesn matter how many auctions were done by all of the
franchisees, what matters is how many were done by your local
person. 4.
Are they
bonded? Our eBay transactions
are bonded up to a limit of $25,000.
While this kind of bond is seldom activated, it provides
reassurance to bidders, and studies have shown that they are more likely
to bid, and bid higher, when the seller has bonded the transaction. To the best of my knowledge, we
are the only local 5.
Do they
have a SquareTrade Seal?
/SPAN> SquareTrade is an organization
that allows its seal to be used by approved eBay sellers who meet criteria
of good business practices.
They also provide mediation services when there is a disagreement
between buyer and seller. We
are SquareTrade members, and have additionally earned the right to sell
Travel-related items (tickets, timeshares, etc.), a more stringent
certification. 6.
What do
the auctions look like? Look at
some listings. Note
especially whether the auctions provide sufficient and good quality
photos. Note also whether the
listings are more an advertisement for the 7. Do you have the time to do it yourself? - Preparing an auction for eBay takes quite a bit of time, as does answering the emails, processing the payment, shipping the item, etc. * We
pay each auction listing fee ($2 - $9, typically), PayPal fees (2.9%),
bonding fees (1%), and other miscellaneous fees (photo hosting,
etc.)
