[Highland Park] eBay for Christmas
by Rachel McCurdy 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hello neighbors! Several months ago I started up my own little eBay business at home and have been pretty successful at selling my items. If you have some items at home that you would like to sell but just don't have the time to list them, let me help you out! I charge a modest 10% of final sale for items and I take care of all of the shipping and payments. All you need to do is provide the item and spend your money when it sells. I do all the research and work for you. If your item doesn't sell, you have the opportunity to relist it or I will return it to you. Typically, after listing fees and commissions, you will receive 75 to 80 cents for every dollar that your item sells for. What can you sell? If you're uncertain of whether something will sell, just ask me. I will research it for you. Being that it's Christmas time, the most popular items are DVDs, videogames, game systems, GIFT CARDS and store credit merchandise cards, books, phones (used and new), iPods, etc. You would be surprised what people will buy, so don't be afraid to ask! If you're interested, send me an email. The sooner the items are posted, the better chance you will have some extra spending money for Christmas! We can discuss details via email. I currently have a 100% positive feedback rating on eBay. Thanks! Rachel Ortiz De Victor Place
