WANT TO DO-IT-YOURSELF?

The United States Postal Service (USPS) and eBay have joined forces in an effort to bolster the use of eBay to new users and the Postal Service by holding seminars, promoting their Click-N-Ship computerized postal service and creating two different sized FLAT RATE PRIORITY MAIL boxes, measuring 11" x 8.5" x 5.5" and 13.625" x 11.875" x 3.375", respectfully, which will ship anything that comfortably fits in the box, regardless of weight.

<< EITHER BOX SHIPS FOR JUST $8.10

The free seminars, run by USPS employees who were specifically trained by
eBay University instructors, are held in Post Offices or nearby hotels in ths sponsoring post office's town and share the basics about how to get started selling on eBay.

Handouts, samples and even a CD of helpful tips and utilities are distributed
to all attendees.

For the latest dates and more information, watch for flyers being mailed in the surrounding communities, or contact the USPS using the information in the blue sidebar on the right.

DON'T WANT TO DO-IT-YOURSELF? 

No problem.  A handful of companies have been established through the popularity of eBay as a "one-stop" solution for selling your eBay treasures -- from fine collectables to yes, even AUTOMOBILES!  Companies like SNAPPY AUCTIONS and I SOLD IT ON eBay act as agents which take your items on consighment, help you write the verbage, digitally photograph and list your items on the eBay auctions, oftentimes storing it for you while the auction is active.  When the item is sold, they handle all the paperwork, ship the item to the winning bidder, then hand you the proceeds of the sale, less their commission and service fees.

UPBEAT NEWS has worked with the following two firms listed below:

PLEASE NOTE: There are several other companies and private individuals, which can be found in the phone book or online, that perform these or similar services.  Experts strongly agree that one should choose a service provider as carefully as one might choose a contractor performing work on your property, to ensure the job is done to your satisfaction.  UPBEAT NEWS makes no recommendations and cannot assume any liability arising from the use of these or other auction contractors or services.
