Why sell through eBay?
eBay is the world's largest marketplace for new and used goods. Because millions of shoppers visit eBay every day, the odds are that someone is searching for the item(s) that you have to sell. This translates to higher sales prices and quicker turnaround for your items. Selling on eBay through The CA Trading Post is also a safe process. At The CA Trading Post, we will not ship your goods to the highest bidder until payment in full has been received and verified. The CA Trading Post takes full responsibility for item listings, meaning that we handle any complaints or returns from buyers. Why would you want to sell your items anywhere else?
Why would I need The CA Trading Post's help to sell on eBay?
The CA Trading Post realizes that many people do not have the time or ability to put their items up for auction at eBay. There is a lot that goes into creating a professional listing that will maximize interest in your items, which, in turn, will generate higher sales prices. Professional-quality photographs must be taken, edited and uploaded to the internet. Research must be conducted to ascertain all of the features and specifications related to a product. A unique listing is then written and formatted. This is only the beginning, because potential buyers are sure to have questions about your product, and when it does sell, payment has to be collected and the item must be carefully packaged and shipped. However, don't fret because The CA Trading Post does all this and much more when selling your items.
What advantages does The CA Trading Post hold over other sales venues?
Our on-line, auction-style approach to consignment sales allows us to obtain top dollar for your goods. This is because eBay is the world’s largest marketplace—odds are that someone is searching for the item that you are selling. In addition, over 85% of items are sold within 7 days. If you’re looking for top sales prices and quick turnaround, The CA Trading Post is your best bet.
The CA Trading Post introduces a great new way to raise money for your school or not-for-profit organization! Auction donations are an everyday way to raise money, complementing your current fundraising efforts. Best of all, there's no administrative work for your organization.

How long do you list my item for sale on eBay?
The Ca Trading Post typically runs auctions for seven days to maximize bidding interest. We do, however, have the ability to offer shorter auction run times due to time constraints (Tickets to sporting events, etc.).

What if my item does not sell?

What are your commissions and what types of packages do you offer?
We offer the best overall commission structure in the industry, taking the hassle out of selling your item and returning more money to you! You get a check in the mail based upon the final sale price of your item. We pay all the eBay listing and credit card transaction fees. There are no hidden fees or additional commissions. Our minimum commission is $20.00 which we charge on items that sell for less than $50.

Why do you recommend that auctions start at a very low minimum amount?
In our experience, selecting a low starting price usually results in a higher final sale price because there will be more bidders. Customers can select a higher starting price by using our Premium Service, but the item may be less likely to sell.

Should I set a minimum bid?
Part of our service is to research your item and estimate its value within on eBay. We do this by tracking the success of similar items recently sold on eBay. Once listed, the eBay community ultimately determines the sale price of the item through bidding. If you would prefer to risk losing a sale than selling your item for less than a certain amount, you may want to consider setting a minimum bid. The lowest bid possible without a minimum is $9.99. Click here for more details on our Basic and Premium listing packages.

What are some of your key auction terms?
There are a few key terms of this transaction regarding the authenticity of items, binding bids, and items that do not sell. Click here for more details.
Simply drop by one of our stores with an item you'd like to sell, and we'll do the rest. We professionally photograph your item, write descriptive copy about it, and list it on eBay.

Or, if you prefer, you can use a PayPal account.
