Holliston Post Office plans ‘eBay Day’ in Holliston Senior Center

HOLLISTON—Are you considering starting up your own Internet business by selling merchandise online?

Well, the U.S. Postal Service will help make it is easier for you to get started by hosting an eBay Day onTuesday, Oct. 21, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon in the Holliston Senior Center, 150 Goulding St.

The Postal Service offers these seminars as a preferred shipper on eBay and the presentation covers the basics of buying and selling on eBay.

In 2003, the Postal Service and eBay began a partnership that offers eBay shippers a convenient way for both buyers and sellers to estimate shipping costs, request carrier pickup, print shipping labels, and pay for postage online.

In 2005, the Postal Service and eBay created a two-to-three hour seminar on how to buy, sell and ship on eBay and postal service representatives have been giving these seminars around the nation since early 2005.

Refreshments will be served. Persons planning attend have been asked to call Holliston Post Office at (508) 429-1336.
