What Is An eBay Trading Assistant

Did you know that the average person has several thousand pounds worth of unwanted items in cupboards and lofts ? And quite often people just through the things away or sell them at Car Boots where they get very little. Yes they have heard of eBay but for one thing or another they just do not have the time or the know how how to sell on sites such as eBay. This is where eBay Trading Assistants come in.

An eBay Trading Assistant will take the items you wish to turn into much needed cash, and sell them for you, and in return they take a commission. (Some Trading Assistants do charge other fees but most charge a commission once the item sells). eBay Trading Assistants work very hard for their clients for they want the items to sell, for if they do not sell they do not get paid.

At times Trading Assistants will tell their clients the item is not worth selling, this may be hard to hear but in the long wrong it will save you having to take the item back.

So what does an eBay Trading Assistant Do ?

They take the items from their client and after some quick paperwork to cover both sides, they get to work. They do the research, take pictures, write discriptions, deal with emails, post the item out, leave feedback and once the new buyer is happy, they send the money to their client less the agreed commission.

What Do eBay Trading assistants Charge ?

On average an eBay Trading Assistant charges around 30%, this covers all the eBay and paypal fees and what covers their fees for selling the items for you. Some do charge a lower commission and then charge a fee per item listed. I charge a 30% commission, (But if the client needs extra listing features these are charged at eBay cost price – But in most cases it is a flat 30% Commission)
