Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question, email us at:  auctionmythings@me.com


Where are you located?
We are a web based company and do not have a physical storefront.  We do this to keep our overhead costs low and pass the savings along to you through our low commission fees.


Do you sell furniture on ebay?
We do not sell furniture on ebay.  Given the bulky size and weight of furniture we have found that it does not sell successfully on ebay and would recommend using your local newspaper to sell furniture.


Are there any price/weight restrictions?
We generally only accept items expected to sell for $35 or more and weighs less than 75 pounds.


What types of items can I sell?
We will be happy to list any items for you.  We will research any item for you and determine if there are potential buyers interested in your item.  However, eBay prohibits the sale of some types of items, and places restrictions on other types. We only accepts items that are legal to sell on eBay. Click here for eBay's list of prohibited items.


What if my item doesn't sell?
We will automatically re-list it after the initial 7-day auction unless you request otherwise. If you do not wish to re-list it or if it doesn't sell during the second auction, there is a $5 return fee.


Who pays for the shipping?
The buyer pays for all shipping, handling and insurance charges.


Why don't I just sell the item myself?
Your Privacy!  When doing a transaction on eBay, your personal information is disclosed to buyers and/or eBay.  This may include your bank account number, home address, phone number, full name and other personal information you may want to keep private.  Allowing us to handle the sale of your items keeps your information private as we will not disclose that information to anyone else without your permission.

Will I have to set-up an eBay or PayPal account?

No. We manage both the auction and collecting payment to ensure your privacy.

What if a potential buyer has a question about my item?
We answer buyers' questions via email. If there is a question we can't answer, we will contact you. We never give your contact information to potential buyers.


Will I be able to see the listing on eBay?
Yes. When your item has been listed we will send you an e-mail with a link to your auction on eBay.


What if the buyer never sends payment?
We won't ship your item until we receive payment. In the event that payment isn't received in the allotted time, we will contact the second place bidder or automatically re-list the item if necessary. If this occurs, we will contact you and let you know.


How much will my item sell for?
eBay's greatest strength is that it is the world's largest market place. The market will determine what your item is worth. While we do not predict selling prices for individual items, we can let you know what similar items are selling for on eBay.
 
What if I want my item to sell for a higher price than bidders are bidding?
Once an auction starts, the terms of the auction can't be changed. If you are concerned about protecting your investment, we can set a reserve (or minimum) sales price for your item.
