Actually being a Trading Assistant is the certified ebay reseller you describe.http://ebaytradingassistant.com/signup/There is also an eBay Trading Assistant Discussion Board where requirements, information and tips-of-the-trade are exchanged. http://forums.ebay.com/db1/forum/Trading��I ll tell you a few of my personal tips.1. Never, never list anything that you don t have in your possession and control over. If your consignor finds a local buyer, changes their mind or refuses to release the item after a successful sale; you become a Non-Performing-Seller, get a strike against you and may get Negative Feedback.2. Nobody who hasn t sold on eBay has a clue about the effort involved in photography, writing Descriptions, staging a item and proper shipping. Friends and relatives are aware of how easy it s become for you but don t realize how steep the learning curve is. Me personally, I d avoid selling for those I wanted to keep close to me. I d offer to help them open an account, guide them, encourage them, but that s me. If you do decide to sell for those special people be prepared for some changes in the relationships.3. Depending on the value of the item (higher priced gets lower %), a fair commission for selling ranges from 15% to 40% of the price realized AFTER all eBay PayPal fees (perhaps shipping too). 4. The bottom line can be broken on shipping. Be aware of all the options costs available. Free shipping now gets higher placement in *Search* so be careful of hi-weight, hi-cost items to ship if you offer it.5. Never ship anything without some form of on-line verifiable delivery confirmation.6. Also, see my previous answer to a Y!A question from a neophyte eBayer.http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind��
