Since eBay launched the Trading Assistant program last year, over50,000 eBay sellers have registered as Trading Assistants to helpother people sell their goods on eBay.
As a result, eBay consignment businesses have sprung up all overthe United States and are now starting to appear in Germany andthe UK.
Consider this:
There are 35 million users on eBay's US site and 50 millionusers of eBay's international sites and that number grows everyday. Even with those numbers, there are still millions of people whoknow very little about eBay or are afraid to try it.
There are millions more who know about eBay, but just don'thave the time or inclination to sell items themselves.
Hundreds of people in your very own neighborhood have tons ofthings lying around the house that would sell on eBay, but theydon't have the time or know-how to get them listed and sold. This means opportunity for you.
Time To Start Your Own eBay Consignment Business
As we've discussed many times before, the biggest problem eBaysellers have is finding merchandise at a low enough price to sellon eBay.
With an eBay Consignment Business, people give you merchandise tosell with no risk on your part. You auction the goods on eBay andpay the consignor (the person who gave you the goods) theproceeds of the sale less your commission and fees.
If something doesn't sell, you simply return the item to theconsignor.
If you can find people to consign goods to you, then you havecreated an unstoppable money machine.
How Much Can You Earn?
eBay consignment professionals charge fees ranging from 10% onvery high priced items up to 40% on consignment items that sellfor less than a few hundred dollars.
One business in the San Francisco Bay area charges 40% and issuccessfully closing hundreds of auctions per week. Another business in Florida has been so successful they arefranchising their system for $15,000. Done correctly, this business has no risk and low start-upcosts,yet can produce thousand of dollars of income per year for youand your family. If you are interested in starting your own eBay ConsignmentBusiness I highly recommend that you learn how to do it right.
You don't want to wing it or learn as you go because that willcost you time, money, and countless mistakes.
