Ebay brokers in SE22 (ish) ?

A friend told me that some people make a good few bob going round to people's houses and sorting out things for selling on Ebay. Then do all the admin stuff for you for a small commission. So you basically get a spring cleansed home and extra cash, while someone does your legwork for you. Does anyone around here do this? Or know anyone that does? Our house could do with a right old going over.


All advice really welcome. x

Oh if only :(


We have loads of stuff to pass on, and have sold plenty on the EDF before...but our lifestyles are such that we need someone to just take the whole lot off our hands and sort it for us. When you think what's involved:


- taking all the photos

- writing all the descriptions

- answering all the qs

- waiting in for people to view (and possible no-shows)....


having someone do the whole thing for you at 10% ish commission is very attractive :)

I looked into this a while ago as I sell lots for charity. Never got round to taking up their services but the people are called Trading Assistants and you can find them on ebay. Don't know if they actually come to sort out your stuff but you either have to get it to them or some do collect and then do everything for you.


There's one in my area (SE24) and one in SE23 who works within a 5 mile radius of SE23.


Type in Trading Assistants in google and it will take you to the page on ebay where you can find out more.

I could do this for you. I have had an eBay account since they started, and currently hold a 100% star rating (important when potential buyers are weighing up whether to buy from you). As I am putting my 'reputation' on the line, I would need to put honest descriptions of the goods you want to sell, and I might advise you that certain items are not worth the effort. Unless the item is too bulky to post, it is very unlikely that anyone will ask to view first. When sold, someone needs to wrap and post the item - I could do this too if you would prefer.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
