Perhaps one of the most effective and popular method of selling your stuff or merchandise is through eBay. Millions of buyers and sellers turn to eBay in search of a good deal. And because of this a new occupation was born.

Enter the eBay trading assistant. They work by assisting sellers vend their items. Even though it is a home based work, there are times when the trading assistant will be required to visit their clients to pick up the items and ask information about the items such as specifications, working status and photos.

The eBay assistant will then sell the items on eBay on consignment. All of the transaction details are handled by them, having a percentage of the sale as his commission. The rate of commission depends on what the seller and the Trading Assistant agrees on. Usual rates however can range from 5% to 50%. Many people who do not have the knowledge or the time to sell items on their own will be happy to employ the services of an eBay trading assistant.
