of them in my area. Shops that will sell your items on ebay for you... you take your stuff there, leave it with them, and they take the pictures, post the description and ship it out if it sells. Of course, YOU pay the listing fees, the final value fees & shipping cost (if they offer free shipping, otherwise the buyer pays), then you pay them a percentage of the sale price for their services.

Most of them around here have gone out of business though. I have thought about opening my own service like that and run it from home (the ONLY way I can see it being profitable, unless you have a legitimate, sucessful business already, and just offer this service for extra business), but then you have to worry about being responsible for the property of other people, and having to replace it if it gets broken, stolen or you have a tragedy like a house fire or a natural disaster that wipes out yor home.

Good luck in your search, I hope you find something.

Peace,

Ghost
