Part-time job opening
Originally published at A Couple of Robots. You can comment here or there.
I need an assistant for my business.
Job duties:
- Receive packages with electronics
- Unpack and test contents
- Put contents on sale on eBay and my website
- Answer questions from buyers
- Pack and ship sold items
Salary:
You will be getting $8-$70 per processed item, depending on the profit made. On average, about $15. At first there will be about 1-2 packages arriving every day, and it would take (again, on average) about an hour to process one item. So it’ll end up being about $15/hour for a couple hours a day. There is an opportunity for expansion and the number of packages per day will grow.
Requirements, in order of importance:
- You must be located at an address where you can receive packages during the business hours. If you miss a package you may need to go to a shipping center/post office to pick it up.
- Transportation. You will need to go to a post office to ship the items. You will sometimes have to carry several boxes at once. Having a car or living right next to USPS is preferred.
- You’ve got to be dependable. After you receive a package you must put it on sale within 4 days. After it’s sold you must ship it within 2 business days (sometimes, 1 business day). Even during exam times.
- Trustworthy. You will have access to my eBay account and limited access to my PayPal account. It’s better if I know you in person; either way I have to be able to trust you with significant amounts of money.
- Attention to detail. You will sometimes need to describe items in great detail, making sure to correctly list all the selling points and deficiencies.
- Ability to take criticism. I will frequently correct your listings after you. You must not take it personally.
- It’s nice if you are in Provo/Orem. It’s likely that I will have to drop by from time to time.
- It’s nice if you are often online on instant messaging. That’s my preferred method of communication.
- It’s nice if you know something about digital cameras, tablets, cell phones, laptops, and other electronics, but it’s not required. Same for eBay experience.
- You’ve got to be able to lift fairly heavy boxes.
Good stuff:
You get to work from your own place on your own time. In time you will become a guru with all kinds of electronics and eBay trading.
