SAN ANTONIO, TX November 13, 2008 - With the holidays approaching, how are you going to pay for Christmas gifts? Instead of piling up credit card debt, why not sell unused items around the house? It's simple. Gather your items to sell and the professional sellers do the rest. But how do you find a seller? Finding local sellers to market or buy your items for cash just got easier thanks to the national Consignment Pal Resale Directory at consignmentpal.com. The Consignment Pal community includes antique shops, business liquidators, consignment shops, eBay stores, eBay Trading Assistants, non profit stores, resale shops, etc.


Depending on the seller, you can consign or receive cash on the spot for your items. "There's not one best way to sell everything," says Linda Miller, founder of the Consignment Pal Resale Directory. "To get top dollar, you have to pick and choose the right types of sellers." Finding the perfect consignment seller, eBay store, or resale shop is easy because the directory includes store descriptions, specialties, maps, zip code searches, and eBay listings.


What can you sell this holiday season? Almost anything! The key is using a seller who specializes in your items. You will make the most money with a professional who understands the marketing details and pricing strategies unique to your item. This is especially true on eBay, where seeing and touching the item is replaced with a detailed description and pictures.


What about selling fees? Commissions vary based on the type of seller, quantity of items, location, and services required, though they generally run from 25% to 60%. For more on selling your items, see "How to Sell Items."


During this Thanksgiving and Christmas season, remember the non profit stores which are also listed in the Consignment Pal Resale Directory. With relatives coming for the holidays, clean out your clutter. Share your unwanted items with your favorite charities and enjoy tax advantages come April. The PayPal 2008 Holiday Survey found that "73% of online shoppers intend to give to charity this season." Why don't you join them?
