Job Summary
*Earnings: The app requires wages be listed in a format that doesn’t apply here so the listed wages is not reflective. The amount is impossible to know in advance because it is based on a per item basis & mostly commission. I only listed £5 as the minimum in order to put something without making promises but it would be much more than that and not limited to 1K either. The actual earnings are 50p per item listed plus 15% of the amount received when sold. Expenses are covered separately. The commission rate would be higher but over 50% is already promised to 2 different charities.
The job is to take boxes of items from a disabled woman who needs to clear 5 decades + of items and sell them on her behalf. A lot of the needed packaging would be provided. The listing payment is per item & whether it sells or not. There are a LOT of items ranging in value so there is potential for significant earnings if suitable sale prices are reached.
Responsibilities -
- Collect items to be sold and the packaging for sending as appropriate. The amount collected each time is flexible to what the assistant can take. Items that don’t sell would be returned to the seller’s home.
- List all items on best site(s) for the item (Marketplace/Vinted/eBay…) and at appropriate prices etc. This may include taking photos & writing descriptions etc.
- Manage relevant online selling accounts.
- Send sold items promptly enough to keep buyers happy.
- Keep suitable records, including of all financial aspects (listings, fees, expenses, sale amounts (gross and earned).
- Honest(!)
- Flexibility to work with disabled woman who is also seriously ill so her ability to be involved at any level varies and can do so suddenly. The less that involves her the less this would be a problem.
- Not required but it would be of benefit to be able and willing to help with a garage sale and/or any other means of selling items that are not sold online.
Experience
- Specific experience in online selling is very helpful but not required as it can be learned after getting the job if necessary.
- Ability to keep accurate records.
- Sufficient maths skills to allow for successful selling. For example, being able to identify the minimum sale price needed so that money is not lost through a sale when costs are removed.
- Very good general communication skills
- Excellent English
- Female applicants preferred due to some of the items being sold are specifically female related. However, this is not an absolute requirement.
