What Is An Ebay Trading Assistant On Ebay Uk? By Daniel Buys eBay Trading assistants do all the work for you. They list your items on eBay, usually for a commission of the final sale price, and all you have to do is wait for a cheque to arrive.

Test to make sure that the item works Check that branded goods are authentic Take professional photographs Research important details Write a professional listing Place the item in the best category Start the auction at the best time Answer questions from bidders Collect payment from buyer Pack the item carefully Ship it to the buyer Take care of any returns Due to the work involved in listing items Trading assistants will usually only accept items with a perceived worth of £30 or greater.
