Ebay Trading Assistants!

[chambo]

Hi All

Just a quick question,

Has anybody had any experience of using ebay trading assistants? I have seen this company stuffusell.

Any thoughts??

Getting sick of ebay!!

Thanks

Depends on what you are selling - they wont put their account at risk for you - expect to pay 15%+

Be careful who you deal with. I tried using one before I got into eBay Stealth and the guy straight ripped me off despite claiming he only charged a certain percentage. Also he ended up selling some things of mine and not paying me for them and he didnt return some prized items of mine too. When I tried to contact him he just started ignoring me. For this he will suffer greatly...

Is there decent money to be made as a trading assistant? Or is it a lot of hassle for a poor return?

[GrannyT]

It's a lot of hassle unless you know your client.

I tend to leave 'one offs' alone and never touch Vero, Foo-foo or high risk

Professional people who understand the business CAN be very good to work with.

As Johnnyleeds says - there are a lot of bad people out there so be careful

might be daft question , but what is a trading assistant

[GrannyT]

Someone who is experienced and who will sell for you - saves you needing an EB & PP account. - will normally cost you between 10% and 20% plus costs

Don't get excited though most will not touch stealthers, foo-foo, vero or high risk

thanks gt, was just wondering

What is foo-foo? Sounds like something from the chinese takeaway... but what is it?

foo-foo is phake, non real, counterfeit= foo-foos™

Not that tasy either. ebay tend to pepper accounts with MC019 & such and leave a bad taste behind
