Are there professional ebay sellers who sell things for others in the UK?

Question

I want to know if it's possible to give items to someone else to sell on your behalf on ebay.

Answer 1

Yes, I believe there are, your best option is to search items and see if there from a company that is selling on behalf of clients, they often describe this in their descriptions.  Another thing to look at is of course selling them yourself and this is a fantastic website I came across showing you exactly what's involved in listing items, take a look: http://ebayingtoearnmoney.blogspot.com/

Answer 2

eBay calls these people 'trading assistants'. Here's more information:

You may also find local shops / drop offs where people will accept items to sell on your behalf. You'd have to find those in the phone book. Generally, 10-20% commission is taken, I believe. I think higher would be unreasonable.
