How to research items, take pictures for auctions, pack items for shipping and how to determine fees will also be covered. The seminar is approximately three hours long.

“We've made eBay shipping as easy and convenient as possible,” Ross-Rawlins explains, “including our Automated Postal Center which makes shipping after hours possible.”
