Things you should know about Trading Assistants
Trading Assistants are neither employees nor independent contractors of eBay Inc. Each Trading Assistant runs his or her own independent business so you should apply the same standards in selecting a Trading Assistant as you would in hiring anyone to perform a service for you.
Some Trading Assistants choose to sell in certain categories or specialties and state this in their directory profile.
Expect a wide range of fees and services because each Trading Assistant and Registered eBay Drop off Location is responsible for setting their own fee structure.
Trading Assistants are responsible for ensuring items listed on eBay are legal to sell and that the services they provide are legal.
eBay has additional requirements for Trading Assistants that sell certain types of items including vehicles, real estate and charitable items.
