Antellus to Auction Off Used Books and Other Items On Its Site

Antellus, a private independent publisher and seller of books and ebooks, has begun a new program to perform silent auctions of used books, jewelry and other related items directly from its site after a disappointing month with eBay.

"I have tried to use eBay before in association with direct sale of new books and auctions of used books and other items," said author and CEO Theresa M. Moore. "On the whole I found the experience somewhat daunting.  In order to sell an item on eBay, the seller must pay a listing fee in addition to a final value fee; and since lower bid minimums are required to attract a buyer to the items, the fees wipe out any prospect of being able to reap any benefit from the eBay selling model."

Since Antellus has ample room to offer used books on its own site, a special auction page has been set up to sell off used books and other items directly, eliminating the middle man in the process. Auction bidders must register with PayPal to participate, and the terms are spelled out clearly on the page. Each auction will be set up to cover a limited amount of time and will be updated daily. When the deadline is up no further bids will be accepted. The buyer is then expected to pay from an invoice in order to receive shipment. All details of payment processing will be handled by PayPal.

More information can be found on the site. For further inquiries, please contact info(at)antellus.com.
