1.What do you do?
We are an “eBay pick up store.” This means that the general public can contact us to pick up items from them that they would like to have sold for them on eBay and we will sell the item for the customer and handle all the processing. At the end, after an item has sold, you get paid.
2. How much does it cost to sell something for me?
We charge a percentage based on the final ending auction price or Final Auction Value (FAV). Our service fee is 20%
Our fee, however, does not include the fee’s charged by eBay and PayPal which are nonnegotiable and non-refundable. For more information on the fee’s associated with listing items on eBay, please view this page.
3. Will you sell anything for me?
We will only sell those items that are not illegal to sell or that have not been banned from sale on eBay. We do reserve the right to turn down the sale of any item. Also, we do require a minimum value for items that we sell for our customers so that we can assure that they will be able to make money from the sale of their item.
