Welcome!
Turn this...
...into this !
We all have countless things we collect over the years. Before we know it, we have boxes of these things in our closets, basements, attics and garages just sitting around collecting dust.
We often move several times in our lives. And sure enough, we drag all these boxes of all these things around with us soon to be placed back in storage.
So maybe it's time to unpack some of those "things" and make some money.
"Make some money?" you ask.
Sure.
I will help you turn your things into cash by selling them on eBay for you.
I will list your item, sell it, pack it, and ship it.
Feel free to look around this site. And when you're ready to unpack some of those items to turn them into cash, fill out my contact form. I'll be happy to assist you.
Thanks for stopping by,
Your Attica, NY eBay Seller!

What is eBay?
Founded in September of 1995, eBay is an on-line marketplace where anyone can sell almost anything worldwide.
Being the major auction service on the web, eBay popularized the concept of buying and selling online, and both individuals and companies list items for sale.
There is no charge to browse the site or bid on items, but there is a fee to list and sell items. If an item is purchased, the seller pays eBay an additional fee, called a final value fee.
Millions of items are offered, and billions of dollars worth of merchandise are sold every year worldwide through this service.
The Basics
A seller lists an item on eBay. Anything from vintage toys to rare collectibles, comics and books to cars and airplanes and even event tickets.
The seller can choose to list an item in a regular style auction and accept bids or offer other options for buyers such as a Buy It Now, and even accept offers from buyers.
Some eBay history and interesting facts:
What was the first item ever sold on ebay?
Would you believe a broken laser pointer, which sold for $14.83 in September of 1995.
Back then eBay was called Auction Web and it was founded by a gentleman named Pierre Omidyar.
After Omidyar contacted the winning bidder to make sure he understood that the item was broken, the buyer replied that he collected broken laser pointers.
It was at that moment that Omidyar knew he was on to something big.
From day one, Omidyar built eBay around what remains the company's core values; a belief that:
- People are basically good.
- Everyone has something to contribute.
- An open environment brings out the best in people.
- The success of eBay underscores the truth of these values, and is at the heart of eBay's continuing success.
Fact: eBay users trade over $2,000 worth of goods worldwide on the site every second.
Fact: eBay members have left over 7 billion feedback for one another regarding their eBay transactions.
Fact: To this date, the most expensive item sold on eBay was a private jet for $4.9 million dollars.
