Commission Selling
Commission Selling is a quick way to fill your store with stock…………
From time to time we have all said I just wish we had more stock to fill our shop and auctions with. But sometimes we just do not have the money to buy in stock to re-sell. At this point many people give up and just leave their shops partly full.
Well today I am going to share with two words. Commission Selling. Commission selling is where we go to a shop, a local wholesaler, Charity Shop and ask them how would they like to increase their turnover and profit, by doing very little work. Most places will say why yes, how can you help.
You explain how you will sell on eBay for them for a small commission of around 30%. - ( A side note here, the best places to go to first are those who have a high profit margin)
Once you have a place say yes we will give it a go, you get them to sign an some forms which covers both you and the shop. (You will either take the stock home or leave it in the shop), but you list it as normal, and when it sells you package it up and send it to the buyer. If the shop still has the item, take the paypal invoice to prove it has been sold, show it to the shop, package the item up and send it on it’s way.
Once the buyer is happy and has left feedback that they are happy, you send the payment to the shop via cheque or PayPal less your commission.
This is very simple and makes all sides happy.
Have Fun
Andy,
Consignment selling is something I stumbled on just this past two months and already have two huge jobs… both of them from estates. In both incidents, i know the people involved. They asked me to come to the house and go through it with them and organize everything into “ebay”, “yard sale” or “trashcan” piles. All the ebay items came back home with me and I will have enough items to list through the fall.
Absolutely fabulous source of products!
Will bookmark your blog for more eBay ideas! I added you to my blogroll. Check out mine when you have a change. See you on OSI Rockstars!
Blessings, Brenda
