Yea, it is not really worth it anymore to sell items on consignment, especially lower price items. I sometimes do it, but only for good friends who understand the risk and understand that they will only get about 50% of the selling price. And I sometimes give the occasional rare book to a close friend who is a professional book dealer and we split the sale 50/50, but those books sell in the hundreds of dollars and he always gets top dollar from his clients.
Hi I’m looking for someone who sells stuff for other’s on eBay in the Berks county area. PA
IMHO anyone who is really good at eBay would be listing and selling things they bought.
IMHO anyone who is really good eBay would charge $30+ per hour for their time, plus a share of the profit.

Good luck with that. Most sellers would not take on someone else's stuff to sell. Especially if the seller already sells simialr items. Plus sellers are responsible for filing taxes at the end of the year and would create headaches for the seller. Not to mention Returns and chargebacks
Your best bet is to sell the items yourself or find a consignment shop in your location that would take the items off your hands for a percentage and not have to deal with returns and chargebacks.
