Postal Service Hosts eBay Seminars at the Ellenville Public Library

Ellenville, N.Y. — The Postal Service will host free seminars on how to sell items on eBay. “eBay is great for small businesses or for the homeowner who simply wants to make extra money on items no longer used.

Interested persons can learn how to:

photograph and download pictures online
write effective descriptions of merchandise
post items on eBay
set attractive starting bid prices
use the “Buy It Now” option
sell items on eBay
ship items without leaving home

The eBay seminars will be conducted at the Ellenville Public Library, 40 Center Street, Ellenville, NY 12428. Refreshments will be served. After registration admission is free. For further information and to reserve a seat, call 845 647-9584.
