Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the consulting services you offer and the Trading Assistant program?
A: Expand into Auctions also offers its services as a Trading Assistant. As a Trading Assistant I list your product under my own eBay User ID. I offer you my established selling reputation and charge a percentage commission on each item sold. If you have stock that you need to get rid of quickly then this may be the option for you, contact me for further information. However if you are interested in a long term selling solution then Expand into Auctions can help you to list your own products under your own business name with the aim of developing your own brand and trading reputation.
Q: Are you suggesting that I list all of my stock on these sites?
A: No, not necessarily. There are a number of options you can consider, such as only listing;
- product you need to move to make way for new season stock,
- products or slow moving lines that you can offer a discounted price on,
- out of season stock that is currently taking up valuable storage room,
- refurbished, returned or recyclable items that cannot be resold through your normal channels,
- obsolete equipment such as computer or office equipment that is still functional and saleable,
- products that would normally be sent to a liquidator,
- or, of course your whole product line if you so desire
Q: I am not sure that I want to put my product up for auction, what if I don't get the price I want?
A: Even though eBay markets itself as an auction site there are various pricing stategies available to you. As part of my ongoing services I can offer you a thorough targeted market analysis and pricing strategy.
Q: Aren't there fees associated with listing and selling items on eBay?
A: Yes there are and I will provide you with an upfront list of fees that you can be expected to pay.
