How much does it cost?
CA Trading Post charges competitive commissions and no up-front costs! Because we sell so many items, CA Trading Post is able to offer discounted commissions for business customers. Feel free to discuss these rates with your local CA Trading Post store manager. Once your items sell, we deduct our commission and payment processing fees before
sending your company a check.

Can I set the selling price?
Yes! Work with your local CA Trading Post store manager to determine the best pricing strategy. If you have an established, ongoing sales program with CA Trading Post, you may want to test auction and fixed-price formats for your items.

What if my item doesn't sell?
If the item is at our store and it doesn't sell, CA Trading Post can re-list it with different terms or on a different website. You may also pick
up your item or donate it to charity.

Do I need to drop off my items at your store?
Usually our customers drop off their items at their local CA Trading Post store. However, special arrangements can be made for our business customers.

 

Or, if you prefer, you can use a PayPal account.
Thank you for your support!

"A lot of our clients are computer-savvy"

They come to us primarily for the convenience and because they know we can get more money for their goods than they can." Trading assistants handle all aspects of the selling process, including photographing, listing the item, communicating with bidders, packaging and shipping, and collecting payments.  All of this is for a fee, which averages about 30 percent of the sale price.
