Consignment sales

I would like to find a consignment seller near Port Matilda, PA

Once upon a time, eBay had the Trading Partners program, and that didn't work out, so they tried eBay Valet and that also failed.  The fact is, that selling things for others has so many problems and pitfalls that very, very few people will do it.

The first problem is that people nearly always have an unrealistic idea of the value of their stuff, so a lot of emotional drama develops. Then there are questions such as: "How will you and the seller handle the refund when a buyer waits 179 days and then files a claim with PayPal or does a credit card chargeback?" Are you willing to wait 180 for your money? If not, will you guarantee to cover the loss if this happens? How will you guarantee that?  Or, "Who eats the loss if a buyer gets a refund but the returned item is damaged or a sorry substitute is sent?"  And those are just a couple of issues, out of several equally serious ones.

So, the chances of your finding anyone who will sell for you are slim to none. Sorry to be discouraging.

If you do find someone, be sure you have a clean, clear, detailed, written contract.

A word of caution consignment selling has many potential stumbling blocks. What percentage do you take of sale,who has possesion of the inventory,how long will you maintain listing,who determines selling price,what is acceptable profit margin and these are just a few of the items that you must address.

My suggestion is to look locally for someone to do it.  With the fact there are taxes, returns and so much fraud on the internet, it is unlikely if you find anyone willing to take on your request.

Good luck and Happy Holidays.
