Sell online with auctionPAL

You answer a few questions and submit a few photos on our website. Our auction experts will use your information to create a listing for your item, place it in the proper marketplace and then manage the sales process to its conclusion. Next, we send you a box, packaging materials and a pre-paid label to ship the item. Call our delivery partner and set a time for them to come to your home to get it. Then just sit back and wait for the check to come in the mail. It’s that easy!

Good question. If you haven't tried eBay, there's a lot to master before you'll get a good price - or any price. To begin, you have to learn their system well enough to develop an auction strategy that's as good as or better than others selling the same item. Next, you have to describe your items properly to intrigue potential bidders and to limit the amount of questions they will have. Many buyers will not buy from any seller without substantial positive feedback. Plus, you'll have to pack and ship the item yourself (quickly). Your first auction will take roughly ten hours from start to finish; your first listing with auctionPAL should take under 10 minutes. That's why so many of our customers realize that they have better uses for their time. Our auction experts take care of all the hard work and your item will be listed under our name with our fantastic 99.7% rating.

Craigslist has its own issues. First, the marketplace is local not national; you'll get a much smaller audience for your item, which typically lowers its resale value. Second, it's not an auction. Wherever you set the price, plan to get bid down by buyers – unlike auctions where the price gets bid up by buyers. Third, Craigslist forces a lot of time-consuming interactions between buyers and sellers – from answering questions to arranging pre-sale viewings to completing the post sale exchange. auctionPAL can help you overcome all of these things by using national marketplaces (eBay, Amazon, and more) and developing strategies that maximize the sale price. Plus, since all transactions are done under our name, we offer total protection and privacy along with the maximum price from selling on-line.

Our commission is 17% of the sale price for all items under $250; for those above $250, the commission is less. eBay & PayPal fees amount to an additional 8%. Shipping is free (yes, really free -- we charge the buyer for you).

Yes, absolutely. For items that are very unique or worth more $1000, we suggest that you do. In most other cases, it is best to let our auction experts determine the starting price that will lead to the highest selling price. They will use a price designed to generate additional traffic, engage viewers and to increase the numbers of bidders per auction – all things that lead to a higher selling price.

The auction itself lasts 3 to 7 days. After we collect payment, we will ship you a shipping kit. You'll get your check about 5 days after the buyer confirms that they've received your items. Shipping times will vary but the process will take no longer than two weeks from the close of the auction.

auctionPAL collects all shipping costs from the buyer. We pay for all the packing materials you will need, including the box, bubble wrap, peanuts and shipping labels. Pickup by our shipping partner is free – you don’t even need to leave your home.

We sell your items on eBay, Amazon and other specialized marketplaces. One of our auction experts will choose the marketplace that will likely result in the highest selling price.
