WE MOVE FREIGHT

Jun 12, 2005 6:53 PM
The quick answer is that a service almost neeeds to be a fixed price item rather than an auction, unless you want to do it cheap.

The bigger problem is that the price is going to be different depending on weight and distance, so what price do you put down. I have several choices for my service listed in my store, and if I need to charge a different amount, just put up an item for that amount and have the buyer purchase it. But that IS pretty cumbersome.

That is where I think eBay could do more to help service sellers......

There's a place called uship.com that's tagged itself the ebay of freight that I know a lot of ebayers go already to ship their goods. There you put all the details of your shipment in, post it, and people underbid each other to get your shipment.

Saw flyer on a buddys desk about a website going live this dec. www.theshippingdock.com set up for the ebay type shipper. Free to list any shipment and get bids from people that haul the stuff. Dont have to make a deposit or nothing like the others. And my buddy who works for a moving and storage company said it is much cheaper for them than the others. So they can quote a cheaper cost.

Do you have ICC authority to do this? If not you cannot begin ever.
