    I have a quesion
                     

    So, the AI assistant was absolutely no help.  

    my sister lives in Kansas and lost her husband recently.  I live in the Texas panhandle.  she has asked me to help her sell some of her things before she has to move out of her house and downsize.   my question is, can I post her items on my account, send her the shipping label in Kansas and will EBAY adjust the shipping on my account  if it is different? ..

    Thanks for any input!

    Mary

    Hi @omgcandy_61 

     

    The shipping WILL be different so you would have to set up her address as the ship from location.

     

    However the biggest reason NOT to do this is because the sales you make for your sister will mean you bear the tax liability for them. Additionally, you will have to handle any issues, returns, damage to do poor packaging, and may receive feedback that you don't want on your record.

     

    Better to help her set up an account and have her give you access to it if she wants you to do the listing. She'll need a postal scale and packaging materials so she can provide the package size and weight to you for the listing.
