Do You Need An eBay Associate?

Several of our eBay moms can maintain and take care of the household finances with their online auction businesses. A big aspect that we sometimes overlook is…

We are work at home moms who still have a responsibility to uphold a house, as well as our business!

If you are still required to maintain your eBay Store during the summer vacation with the kids at home - have you thought about “How about acquiring an associate?” It doesn’t have to be an overly-expensive paying option. Just someone to help get you through the hectic times so you don’t completely unleash your sanity, while still juggling things to ensure organization with your children during summer break!

Here are a few ideas to help ease your mind:

Are your children at an age where they can assist with keeping track of inventory or take pictures?
Most children love to help, most importantly if you construct it fun and interesting for them.

Are your school age children able to care for their younger siblings?
If you have older children, try leaving them ‘in charge’ while you’re busy sifting through emails and listing items to your store.

Can you reach out to a local church or college for volunteer help?
Check into finding a student or church member who will put in service project hours as your ‘eBay Mommy Associate’.

Do you know any High School students?
Ask if any of them would be interested in becoming an ‘eBay Summer Intern’ to learn about Internet Marketing and the eBay Business.

Know any other Work At Home Mom’s?
You may know someone who has been struggling on how to get started with eBay, but would like to learn. You could help set up a consignment store for them, selling your inventory as your Personal Trading Assistant until they are set up and operating! Just be sure to lay out clear course of action so there’s no misunderstanding later on.

I’ve gotten a few email in regards to MORE organization and how to keep things tidy while ‘ebaying’ blog posts.  If you would like something specific, just leave a comment and I’ll be sure to follow up!
