About Me:

- ebay ID: teraohm. YahooID: sjamboked
 - Have sold for other people for almost 8 years, and have been a member of ebay since 4/1999
- Items I have sold for others: Scuba Equipment, Specialized T-Shirts, Vintage decanters, Comic Books CISCO Routers, and other specific computer equipment, that buyers will know once they find it.. - Will account for all items that I take possession of (from you). 99.8% satisfaction rating.



The Process-- What type of service you can expect

- Would meet first to discuss what items you would like to sell in this fashion. Would make out a detailed list. [what you are selling, the price, and sometimes, the description]
(I can take them with me at that time, or you can drop them off to me at another time-- but, they won't be listed until I have physical possession of them))
- Exhaustive Research (We both have interest in getting as much as possible for your item) - A detailed description of the said item (definately, with your input)
- A choice of a couple of different html templates to choose from.
- Twice monthly reports, depicting:

Listed items
Sold items, along with incurred fees.
Fee Breakdown.
Amount you msde- Amount I made



Complete lifecycle of sale, including devlopment of ad, taking pictures, posting, questions answered during auction (you might get questions from me, if I am unable to answer them), alerts and quotes, and actual shipment of the said item, if necessary. Certain large items, or ones left in your possession12, is open for discussion

BENEFITS:
* Exposure of your item to a much wider audience.
* Liqudates any excess inventory
* Business Expansion


My fee schedule is very reasonable, based on the amount of work and effort that I do in order to get the best price I can for your item. I make it sliding scale, so that the higher the item sells for, the more of a return you will get. Keep in mind, also, that I am paying for the Base Fees.

THANKS FOR TAKING A LOOK.. WILL LOOK FOWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON GETTING THE BEST PRICE I CAN FOR THE ITEMS YOU ALLOW ME TO LIST.

Below, are charts that show this.

{1}"Opening price" is the price I start the auction at. These fees are listed so you know what is being expensed at the start.

(2)This rate kicks in at 1.25% for any amount OVER 1000, and only for the amount it goes over 1000... so a $1200 item would have $200 subject to that percentage.

 


(4) 5% of final price

 

(5) if items winning bid falls somewhere between $25 and $999, the fee is calculated from $25... The first $25 is calculated at the 5% fee rate.
