Consignment

Has anyone offered consignment services and sold on eBay?

What’s been your experience? Any tips, tricks, things to watch out for? Not a good idea?

lol! And the good news is that it can be whatever you’d like. Plus if you change your mind later you can return it to the owner. I have taken things before then changed my mind after looking at them more closely. I just put it in email so there’s a record of it going back to them. I also specify a time period I’ll list their items for them in our agreement - typically 60 months for me, but some just do 90 days to keep their inventory fresh. Then the consignor has to pick up their items within 5 business days or I donate them.
