Start Up Business Grants For Women - 5 Ways to Find eBay Trading Assistant Clients


These are known as TA's or Trading Assistants. Selling items for other people, and the one I want to cover today, teaching others how to sell and buy on eBay, earn by buying for others, you can earn by selling, and you would be right. And have been selling on eBay for a few years you will have seen and thought that are more ways to earn money than just by selling on eBay, i would guess that if you have been on line for some time now.

But these will start you off, there are way more than five. So I have put 5 simple ways of finding clients for your Trading Assistant business. In fact the only thing that is missing are the clients with the items. You get free paper work, you get a listing in a directory, the advantages of belonging to the eBay Trading Assistant are many: It is free to join. But eBay have in place a fantastic program that you can sign up to (you need to have met some guide lines which eBay have set out this stops just anyone signing up). Now there is nothing stopping anyone selling for someone else you just do it.

You need a phone number as some of your clients will not own or do not know how to use a computer. Keep the advert to the point and include a phone number as well as an email. 1) You can place a small classified advert in your local or community paper.

Email address and website if you have one, again put your phone number. And the list goes on and on, colleges, schools, factories, offices, shops, 2) Design a flyer and put these out where you can.

The more people who know you will see for them then the more clients you can get. You need to get your name and business out there in front of everyone. 3) Also you can ask local shops and businesses if you can leave some flyers or a poster in their shop for their clients / customers to see.

Then have a call to action, do not sell in a press release but help people. With a Press Release you need to tell people what you can do for them and what a Trading Assistant is. TV and Radio Stations, magazines, to local papers, 4) Another way is to send out Press Releases.

This can take time but often the rewards are well worth it. 5) Contact business and offer your services to sell their unwanted stock for them.

And it is great fun, yes they will pay you good money to sell their items. Soon you will be having phone calls and emails from people asking you to sell items for you for a commission. By doing this you cover your self. You need to follow the rules laid out on the Trading Assistant site, poster and you have the eBay logo on it, just to finish if you use any flyer.
