eBay Services
Postmark’d provides an easy way to sell your gently used or new items on eBay. We keep you informed by e-mail throughout the resale process. When your item sells, we e-mail you a disbursement report that itemizes the selling price and payout. You can expect a check to be delivered after your item has sold.

• Write a detailed description of your item
• Photograph your item
• Place your item on eBay
• Respond to potential bidders about the item
• Manage the payment process
• Package and ship the item

If the item has evidence of coming from a smoking environment, a disclaimer will be placed on the listing that indicates this.

A: If your item doesn’t sell you can pick it up within two weeks of the auction close, or we can donate your item to charity.
Q: Can I set a reserve or minimum selling price for my item?
A: Yes, however bidding activity is often reduced as a result.
Q: How long does it take for me to receive my check?
A: It generally takes around four weeks from the date you bring us the item.
Q: What do I do when I’m ready to sell?
A: When you are ready to sell, we will ask you to sign a simple contract based on our terms of service. Your item will be listed no more than five business days after signing the contract. We will manage the rest of the selling process and then send you a check after the buyer approves the purchase and the buyer’s payment hits the Postmark’d PayPal account.
