Recent boost of referrals from eBay for Trading Assistants

Posted Monday, May 7, 2012, at 9:40 AM

We do not actively promote being a Trading Assistant anymore, because we have too much to sell already and not enough time.

However, the leads keep coming and the past 3 weeks have averaged 2 a week. Has anyone seen ads promoting the TA program or are people just needing to sell their things?

They have ranged from Waterford Crystal, porcelain dolls, espresso equipment, Thomas Kinkade ornaments, store merchandise and even a collection of Playboy trading cards. (I never knew they had trading cards?)
