It’s easy to sell yourself short and think you don’t have a sellable skill.
But if you know your way around ebay, can write a key word rich description of products that attacts buyers, you probably know more than you think and tap into a growing trend.
It’s possible that by honing your skills a little, you could help those who know far less than you sell their stuff on ebay.
One company that provides ebay drop off services in the UK has done extremely well by providing such services.
According to VNUNET.com
QuickDrop a retail store which sells users’ goods on eBay for a small fee, announced today that its total eBay sales have surpassed $50m.
The company opened its eBay drop-off stores in February 2003. It claims to have served 57,000 customers over the past 44 months and closed over 300,000 auctions on eBay.
QuikDrop allows sellers to leave goods at a store which then produces a digital photograph of the items, writes a detailed description and posts the products on eBay.
When the item sells, QuikDrop packs and ships it to the buyer and sends a cheque directly to the seller, minus a commission.
“We continue to pay out tens of millions of dollars to people in the communities we serve, all from items people don’t want or need anymore,” said QuikDrop president Murray Mead.
