eBay



I have so much stuff that I'd like to sell on eBay, but lack the experience and time to do. I've tried perusing eBay several times and always feel overwhelmed. It's like entering the Mall of America without a directory or the maps one can find everywhere. Without a map, how would anyone know where to begin, let alone, return to find their car?! LOL So, I've perused eBay, gotten a headache and moved on to other sites. I readily admit to not having time to bid often to win. I sure can't sit around and counter bid during the day or awaken in the wee hours of the night to bid before the final minute.



I've heard of new businesses that will photograph your merchandise, write the ad, post the bid, and monitor the auction for a set fee or a percentage of the final sale. And, for the most part, I've been intrigued. I don't know anyone who's tried this option and up to now, the nearest business to me has been in Long Beach, some 25 miles south of me.



Well, while sitting at a red light, looking dazed and confused I'm sure, I saw the isold it billboard. This in itself is pretty remarkable for me, because I rarely look at billboards. I guess, I treat them like spam! So when my eyes focused and I realized it's in my backyard, I was thrilled beyond belief! I drove home mentally cataloguing the items I want to sell and figuring out which ones should go first. I'll let you know my experience after the first successful auction. Meanwhile, if any of you have experience, please share.
