Anyone on here run a "selling things on Ebay for commission" type thing? Have a fair few bits and bobs I want rid of, as do a few others I work with, but cant be bothered summoning up the energy to actually get around to it myself.

Would much rather give the 10% or wotnot to a PH'er...

Are they actually things that people would buy?

I think the fees on ebay are so high now that a 10% commission on top of covering the fees would make it a pointless exercise for you.

I think the professional sellers want a fair bit more than that. 30% - (plus VAT wink )

Personally, IT related books and outmoded gadgets, but a few colleagues have drawers full of phones/PDAs etc etc. You know how it is biggrin

Commission is flexible - not wanting to take the mickey wink

Fair enough.

What IT books have you got btw, might be interested in them myself.

Would you want to send the stuff to someone or would you take care of the shipping and payments side?
