On eBayrepparttar END USER isrepparttar 100200 buyer and will always pay more than a dealer would. Even after paying a consignment fee,repparttar 100201 seller makes more money.

This isrepparttar 100202 true benefit of eBay consignment selling. Findingrepparttar 100203 END USER. Before eBay this was a difficult and daunting process. With eBay, a simple listing placed inrepparttar 100204 correct category, with a good description and some high quality photos, is enough to get a few END USERS to fight overrepparttar 100205 item.

Things You Need To Succeed With Consignment Sales:

1. You need to take possession ofrepparttar 100206 items. When you sell items on consignment you risk your eBay name and reputation. You take these risks when you sell your own items, but you are in complete control of your actions. In order to lower your risks you need to get complete control ofrepparttar 100207 items you are going to be selling. This prevents sellers from changing their minds, and allows you to shiprepparttar 100208 items as soon as you receive payment.

2. You should always have a written contract. One of my friends was sued by a consignor who feltrepparttar 100209 commission was too high. The consignor agreed to pay 20 percent ofrepparttar 100210 selling price, then whenrepparttar 100211 item sold for $8500, got upset about paying $1700 to someone for doing 30 minutes of work. While my friend won in court, it would never have gotten to court if he had a written contract.

3. You'll also need to perfect ways to get items. At first your friends and co-workers will provide you with a good stream of salable items. After a while this stream will dwindle and you will need to go out and find consignors. This is not as difficult as it may seem. Remember, by consigning with you,repparttar 100212 seller gets more money than they would otherwise.
