Don't be bored! BB and claire, you're both doing really well with the weightloos, I've started to shift it down a bit....but baby steps.

What do they get out of it Claire - what is their cut?

elfen

claire, it depends how good they are and if they want a cut of the final proceeds. ETA: great minds think alike buffy

In honour of me travelling tomorrow, holiday time starts today with a Chinese for dinner (nomnomnomnom)

this is the email they sent me


Hi my ebay user id is tony.js_w, my ebay shop itself is called tony.js.w.

To find me on ebay, by the side of the search bar at the top of most ebay pages, there is a link to advanced search, from here you can search user id, from there then you can see my feedback comments and view my shop.

I currently have 204 feedback, 100% positive.

For this to work, you would bring the items you wish to sell to me, which I would prepare for sale, depending on the items, I am willing to launder, iron, clean/wipe over items, then photograph them and then get them listed, with full write ups. Depending on the type of item I will list either by auction or buy it now. And then when the auction listings or buy it now purchases are complete, I will pack and dispatch your items to the buyers, and then transfer your money to your paypal, bank tranfer to your bank account, or send you a cheque. I would keep you updated daily of how everything is going.

With regards to the ebay fees/paypal payment fees etc, I will try my best to add them to the postage costs, so that all proceeds from the sale will be totally yours.

You may be wondering why I am willing to do this, with nothing as such in it for me, but I am willing to do this just for the feedback, because with low feedback score, buyers are not taken too seriously on ebay. So when I can higher this, and potentially become a high rated or power seller, I can then list items with more buyer potential.
And from this I am trying to build up a list of references, so that if this takes off how I hope it does, I can then start charging a small fee in time.


If you are interested in this, and have items for sale please let me know. Doesn't matter how few these items are or how many. As I have a dedicated room a home for storage.

elfen

Hmmm, y'see, I wouldn't trust him....how do you know he's not going to not sell your items and steal them instead? Can he not sell his own things?

Buffythedebtslayer

hmmm.

I don't know.

I wouldn't but then I am a cynical old bag most of the time!

Claire....that seems very very strange! Ive been selling on ebay for over 8 years and even at the beginning I never had any problem selling stuff with a low feedback rating, people really aren't that bothered unless of course its a high value item costing £hundreds.

Buffythedebtslayer

Again Elfen, great minds think alike - not that I am saying you are a cynical old bag too - that's definitely me!
