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 (available for $25) 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 Ed and Small Business Developement Center program set their own fees; and classes are scheduled from the previous semester. 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.)
