What will my items sell for?
We are not appraisers and cannot know what your item will sell for on eBay. As an auction service, eBay is designed to encourage multiple bidders; however, there can be no guarantee that your item will sell or what price it will bring if it does sell. Normally items are listed with a low starting bid since low starting bids generally attract more bidders and thus higher prices.
What items can I sell on eBay?
At any given time millions of different items are listed on eBay including almost anything that you would find in a retail store or a thrift shop. There are, however, certain items that cannot be sold on eBay including but not limited to alcoholic items, tobacco products, firearms, ammunition, explosives, hazardous materials, dangerous goods, flammable items, poisons, corrosives, radioactive materials, pornographic materials, counterfeit currency and stamps, postage meters, used cosmetics, counterfeit items and unauthorized copies, drugs, drug paraphernalia, embargoed items, offensive items, lottery tickets, lock picking devices, recalled items, or anything prohibited or restricted by law. Please note that Mail Box Center reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse any item for listing on eBay. You should use common sense when listing an item. Unless an item is unusual or an antique, it should be in good physical condition. Generally, equipment and electronic items should be functioning with all parts and accessories.
Can I set a minimum price?
This is not necessarily the best approach since it will deter some bidders; however, it does protect you in the event that a lower price is not acceptable to you. Because of the lower likelihood of a sale in such a situation, eBay charges higher fees and so do we. If you wish to set a minimum price for your item you may do so by listing your item using the Premium Package.
What if my item does not sell?
If your item has no reserve and does not sell in the initial auction, we will list it a second time with eBay. If it does not sell in the second auction, you will have 15 days to either pick up the item or pay Mail Box Center shipping and handling charges to return the item to you. In the event that the item is not picked up or shipped, it will be donated to a local charity.
