Purple Unicorn

Don’t want to sell your rare and retired Swarovski crystal yourself?

Whether it’s just a few items or an estate collection I can help!

I am a full-service Registered eBay Trading Assistant serving the Greater Ottawa Area, including Embrun, Russell, Limoges, Casselman, Vars, Winchester, Metcalfe, Greely, Manotick, Orleans, Cumberland, and Ottawa.

I handle every aspect of selling your items, from researching similar items currently selling and recently sold on eBay and other online venues, inspecting and photographing the item, preparing a professional listing, monitoring the auction, answering questions from bidders/buyers, collecting payment from and shipping the item to the winning bidder. And sending you a cheque!

I provide personal service and product expertise that you just can’t get from a drop-off store.

My fee structure is very simple and straightforward. Unlike many Trading Assistants and most drop-off stores, my fee includes all eBay fees and PayPal fees.

I charge 40% of the final selling price of the item. I do not charge an up-front listing fee, or a minimum fee. And I do not charge you if your item doesn’t sell.

Compare that to the 50% to 60% charged by your local consignment store - where you don’t have the benefit of a worldwide market of collectors!

For single items over $1,000, or for collections, estate sales or inventory liquidation, reduced fee arrangements can be made.

My goal is to get you the best possible price for your items. For some items, eBay may not be the best venue.

My online store, Purple Unicorn Collectibles, features a wide range of rare and retired Swarovski crystal for the discerning collector.

Looking for the perfect gift or that special item to complete your collection? I also offer a personal shopping service ~ if it’s out there I can find it for you!
