Products & Services
Each independently owned and operated Auction
it TODAY store provides its services to two customer
sets. The store consigns items from its local
community, handles the entire eBay selling process
and then ships the items to buyers all over the
world.Auction it TODAY stores:
- Research items
- Build proper eBay descriptions
- Take professional photographs
- Monitor the auction of the items on eBay
- Process the payment from the winning bidder
- Pack and ship the item to the buyer
- Charge a commission and pay the seller
The system has such outstanding potential because everyone has something to sell on eBay. Children may want their parents to sell their old bicycle so that they can buy a new one. Elderly people may want to downsize and rid themselves of dusty collectibles. And everyone in between may just want some extra cash in their pocket. One reason why Auction it TODAY has been so successful is because the stores accept items as small as a pocket watch and as large as an airplane. The only limitations on what stores can sell are the rules governing eBay.
Auction it TODAY has also spent extensive time and effort formulating a strategy for its stores to sell wholesale product without the middle man. Stores can purchase product to sell online directly from the manufacturer instead of using local liquidators that add considerable cost to the product.
