The Basics of Selling on eBay – is a classroom and home follow-up guide, recommended by eBay, with work sheets, procedures and screen shots of the actual Power Point slides used in a group class. This book and the related class material comprise an authorized eBay course. 

The schedule and cost for the courses are set on a class by class basis.  Each Adult Education and Small Business Development Center and SCORE program set their own fees.  Typically group classes are scheduled up to six months in advance.  The one-day seminars (not through the school systems) are usually on a Saturday. These are scheduled and publicized a couple of months in advance and usually require pre-registration. 

Private lessons, tutoring and consultation are available.  Each lesson is typically two to four hours in length.  Depending on an individual’s proficiency with a computer and use of the Internet, two to six hours are usually sufficient for many to become comfortable listing and selling on eBay.  Private Lessons, Tutoring, and Consultation outside of the Gray – New Gloucester area are available with compensation for travel time and expenses.   (Private lessons, consultation and tutoring are at the rate of $25 per hour, with a two-hour minimum.)
