Anyone sell others' things on eBay?

I have a couple of bins of plus-size clothing; most with tags, that I want to sell on ebay. I have tried a few auctions on my own and just do not have the time or energy to do it all.
Selling clothing is ridiculous on eBay. People want bust, waist, and length measurements, material listing, etc.

I have donated all my good condition worn clothing, but this stuff is new and I need the money.

I'd love to drop off the bins and pay a fee or % of the auction price for someone else to do the measuring, take the pictures, list and sell the items.

Does anyone here do that? Know of anyone?

Thank you!!
Michelle

There is stores that do that.
A lot of times they are in strip malls and such. I have deffinatly seen signs advertising that they sell for you.

I have sold things for other people, but as a seller it's not worth making only a portion of the profit. IMO, if you can sit for an hour or so and bang it all out, the payoff for you may be totally worthwhile (and addicting Chat Icon )

If you have a lot to sell, try downloading their free software called "TurboLister". It makes your life easy!

It's a LOT of stuff. It would take days to do it. Last month I sat down and listed 2 lots of t-shirts and that alone took 2 hours. The measuring, picture taking, filling everything out. I've tried turbolister, doesn't really make a difference. Chat Icon

see, I only give measurements on request. If the item is NWT and its a size 22, most people aren't looking for measurements TRUST ME.

Ebay has stores. I think there are a few on LI. I think there is one in Rockville Centre.
You drop it off, they do the rest (pics, selling) and they get a portion of the sales.

I saw an eBay store in Valley Stream, I'm not 100% sure how they work....try to find one near you and see if they can help your situation

Me too. I don't give measurements for t-shirts, only jackets, coats, jeans, skirts etc.
