I've had several people approach me about selling items for them. Is there anywhere I can get copies of contracts and forms specifically for this? Where can I go to get advice, information and/or help on the best way to do this? I've read several posts on the AC both pro and con. I believe I can do this if I have a well written contract and well defined policies and expectations. I plan to have a limited client base initially. One friend recently acquired a large number of items from an...

I have been reading everything about trading assistants and cannot find anything about much to charge for selling items. Should I charge a flat fee or a percentage of the sale price?

I was at a live auction this last weekend, and long story short, someone asked me about my work, so I told them. Boy did that create a buzz fast. I haven't gotten my new merchandising cards yet, they'll be here in a few days...but anyway... Has anyone worn logo or business branded jackets, shirts, etc., to alert others to what you do? If I'd been wearing something logo-ish with a hint of eBay on it (I know I can wear their branded logo) - I probably would have been trampled, not to...

Hubby bought a hardcover, five volume set of Civil War books. They arrived today. Each book was wrapped in a piece of tissue and the entire lot was placed in a trash bag. The box had an inch of air around the books. There was a tear in the side and the single piece of tape on the bottom was almost off. I put my finger in the tear and easily tore the box open. Miraculously, the books were not damaged. I am thinking leaving a nuetral with a 3 out of 5 for S&H. Too harsh? As sellers, we...

I'm reading both sites right now - and not seeing a huge difference anywhere between their policies. Costs I'm unsure of just yet. Does anyone have an experience to share or reasons for preference? I'd like to be more involved in international sales, and understand though first class international etc., is not available for tracking for seller protection via paypal - that the alternative is to go insured in the event of a chargeback or item not received claim. I also understand that...

I am being asked by a stranger what % I charge for listing cars, I have never listed cards before so I would like to inquire here please before I should answer him. Two things, what % should I charge? Next, what terms should I give since car issues will be complicated such as vehicle not working as described after buyer takes possession e.t.c? Thanks.

Online selling is one thing, face to face is another. When I compare the two, the time element is the biggest difference, and hand in hand with that is the audience it's put in front of. At the end of the day, one can fetch more money (online) but it comes with a different set of baggage than face to face (time and effort). I've decided with the massive load of estate baubles I have to host a small private viewing to purchase locally. I'm in the very early stages of planning that. I have...

I'm going to be given a public space for an office at the shop. My photography/storage is going to be in a separate area though. I'm in a antique mall now which is huge. Boss would like to have an area in public view to advertise consignment/internet services. I know I need to design signing, have a desk, the basics...but am wondering if anyone has photographs, ideas to share while I pull this part together. Any ideas or experience to share?

I am considering taking additional training through ebay university and dropping $150 on the certified consultant exam. Has anyone here done that? If so, was it worthwhile to your consulting business? Thanks!Detroit Area Trading Assistant Link
