opening a shop

[cathditch]

Hi, can anyone help me. I am reasonably new to ebid, thinking of opening a shop.

I buy all of my stock from various charity shops in the north east, so i am supporting a few charities. Will be selling everything from collectables, to household item, but mainly clothes. Would i be able to open my shop under charity stores, if not what category . Any suggestions.

Thanks cathditch

From your previous eBid account for St Clares Hospice (very early 2012) you must know that eBid Charity Stores exist to raise funds for Registered Charities and personal profit cannot possibly qualify IMO. Lots of folk buy items from Charity Shops & sell on for personal profit. If your profit is not raised for a specific Charity then it cannot be a Charity Shop.

Take your pick of categories for your Stores.... as a Seller Plus Lifetime you can have 5 free shops - you could choose 1 for each type of items you are proposing selling.
