How much is this going to cost me?

  • If we accept your item to sell on eBay, there is no upfront fee to photograph, list, and put your item up for auction. You will only be charged a commission if the item sells. If there is no sale, you can pick up your item, and there is no cost to you.

What are the best items to sell on eBay?

  • Almost anything can be sold on eBay, but some items sell more successfully than others. Look at both our Items That Sell and Items We Don't Accept lists to get an idea of what works best on eBay.

What are your minimum requirements for accepting an item to sell on eBay?

  • Your item must have an expected value of $50 or more on eBay.
  • It must weigh less than 150 lbs. (See our Large Item Program for items weighing more than 150 lbs.)
  • It must measure less than 130 inches in length and girth combined. To find the girth, add the two shortest sides of the item and multiply by 2.

How can I find out the value of my item before I bring it in to the store?

  • It's easy to determine the value of an item from your own home. Simply visit www.ebay.com and search for items up for auction that are similar to yours. (For final winning bid information, use eBay's Advanced Search feature, and search under "completed auctions".

Can I set a minimum selling price for my eBay auction?

  • Yes. Sellers have the option to use our Name-Your-Own-Price service which enables them to set an opening bid of $20.00 or higher as well as set a Reserve Price on their item. However, while minimum opening bids above $19.99 do provide a "safety net" for which an item must sell, they can limit bidding activity.

How long do you list my item for sale on eBay?

  • Typically, iSold It uses a seven day auction to maximize bidding interest. We are, however, able to do auctions as short as 1 day for items with time constraints (i.e. tickets for sporting events, concerts etc.)

What if my item doesn't sell during the auction period?

  • If your item doesn't sell, you will be notified via email
  • At our discretion, you can relist the item on eBay again for no additional charge, OR:
  • You can pick it up at the store within 10 days of the auctions close, OR
  • We'll donate your item to charity.

When can I expect to receive my check?

  • Typically, you will receive a check approximately 30 -45 days from the date you dropped off your item. Please note that winning bidders who delay in paying for your item will cause delays in our timing for sending out your check. In addition, occasionally a winning bidder may never pay for your item. In this case, we will cancel the original auction and relist your item for free. Your check amount and payment timing will be based on the results of this new auction.

How does iSold It earn its commission?

  • Like any retailer, iSold It makes a commission on the items we sell. This fee is used to cover the costs of photographing, listing, payment collection, customer service, and packing & shipping. Once the item sells, iSold It deducts both our commission and eBay & payment processing fees before sending you a check. Click here to see our commission schedule.
