Online auctions are an Internet phenomenon that is here to stay.  Today, virtually everything can be sold through Internet auctions, from ordinary household goods to priceless art and collectibles.  Auction Megasite eBay has over 50 Million Registered Users (over 80% of which are buyers) and handles millions of dollars in sales every day.

 Why use a Trading Assistant?    

Selling online isn’t always as easy as it looks!  The competition is fierce, and the buyers are looking for bargains.  As an experienced Trading Assistant we are familiar with the ins and outs of selling on eBay, and will use our experience to help you get the most money for your items. 

In addition to using our knowledge and experience to boost your profits, you will have the convenience of our staff doing most of the work.  We will handle the entire auction process, from pre-listing market research to packing and shipping.  We will also handle all correspondence with your buyers, including invoicing and collections, and the leaving of final feedback.

armacphotos  reaches the widest possible audience of potential buyers for your items by listing them on online auction Web sites.  Online auctions reach people all over the US and the world who are interested in items like yours.  By reaching more bidders for your item, we believe you can receive a much higher price than you could by selling your item locally. 

Using our specialized listing tools, we will place your auction ad by selecting the most appropriate auction web site (such as eBay) and a category which attracts the right bidders for your item.  We monitor the auction and answer any questions potential bidders may have.

What do we charge? 

Our fees are very simple.  We charge a flat fee of $7.50 per listing to list and manage your auction whether or not the item sells, and we will cover the basic eBay listing fees on “no-reserve” items, except for items listed in eBay Motors. 

 If you desire any special promotional features, such as highlighting or bold print, etc., you will be responsible for the additional charges at the time of listing.  If your item sells, we will deduct any selling related fees which have accrued, such as eBay final value fees, PayPal fees, taxes, etc., and a sales commission based on the final value of the item being sold. 

PayPal fees are approximately 3% of the total amount (including shipping charges) + .30 per payment received.

Unless otherwise specified, all shipping related charges will be added to the final selling price and paid by the buyer.

Terms and Conditions

Due to the fact that eBay holds the Trading Assistant ultimately responsible for any and all auctions listed, all items must be in my possession before listing, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

Items must be clean, and in saleable condition, and you must provide us with detailed, accurate information about each item to be listed, including any known damages or defects which could possibly make the item less appealing to potential buyers.  Listing  of non-working items is fine,  as long as they are clearly described as such!

Honesty is very important – both to me, and on eBay, and misleading, inaccurate, or deliberately incomplete descriptions will not be tolerated.  I reserve the right to refuse (or cancel) any listing that does not measure up to my high ethical standards, and any fees already incurred will not be refunded.

A  Listing Agreement must be completed and signed before I list your items, and is for the sole purpose of preventing any misunderstandings, and protecting both of our interests.

Any unsold items that are not picked up within 14 days of the auction’s end become the property of armacphotos, and may be disposed of at our discretion.
