I'm thinking i'm going to do it. restrict the service to 4 - 5 high volume ebay sellers maximum. Use the space i have at home or rent a storage unit and only offer Auspost as the delivery method. Insurance quote checked out pretty cheap (in the extremely rare event of fire/theft) and as i will be the one doing the work there are no picking/packing staff overheads.

I am only very small fry on ebay but I stuggle to house all of my stuff and when its busy, packing my items can be a stretch for 1 person. I hate to think what it would be like for 1 person to pack for 5 high volume sellers, and send confirmation emails, and store all the stuff as well.
