I am wanting to hire someone to list for me. SAFELY

Hi all... I am a seller that is time poor. I am wanting to hire someone to list for me. How can I do this wwithout potentially giving them free reign of my ebay account. i wrote and asked ebay and they said if I don't give them my email and keep changing the password it should be ok...  It doesn't feel right to me.  I willnot be with them wile they are listing, It's just somone I have found on gumtree... PLEASE KEEP I MIND I AM A TECHNOLOGY SPASTIC grandmother.  Any advice would be great.

do you have a good friend or family member?

Maybe consider taking them on as partner? Then the two of you can work the account/business together. But lots to think about.   

 

Perhaps one does the sourcing and the other the listings.

You would have to think about how to share the "spoils" considering that you already have quite a lot of listings up and running, would you be prepared to share the final $'s on this group, or only on new listings?

Might have to start up a new account together.

 

There are probably a few possible roads to go down, If it was me I would do it on a 3 month trial basis, then if either are not happy you can stop. Just make sure that you protect yourself as best you can. 

Good Luck

ps my sister and I work together, (we are 75 & 71 respectively,) but of course I have known her quite a while so most of the time she and I get on well. 

Personally I am very easy to get on with a long as she does what I want.......
