Goes to show how seller-hostile EBay is if they need to provide a service like this.
Imagine if you needed to provide a "valet service" for your SaaS. Wouldn't that say something about your UX?

#22hardly any innovative things come out of ebay, nice to see something new... can other sellers become valet ? or is it the ebay itself serving as valet ?
"How do I become a valet?
Valets are carefully screened for inclusion in the program. Requirements include, but are not limited to: (1) ability to list 100,000 listings each month, (2) storage capacity sufficient to hold and manage items received for at least 21 calendar days, (3) ability to list items across all eBay categories, (4) physical presence in all major metropolitan hubs in the U.S. and (5) demonstrated ability to reach Top Rated Seller status on eBay within 90 days of starting valet services.

#23FOBO (YC2011) has a similar model and it takes only a 15% fee. http://www.fobo.net/
Unfortunately its only in SF and you can just list Electronics.
Re: EBay Valet
#24the Gone! app does this for you, but it's even easier and you don't have to ship anything out (they'll supply and even pick up the boxes for you).
definitely worth a try, but eBay Valet is interesting: http://thegoneapp.com/

Even if your SaaS were perfect you'd still need to expend some kind of effort to move and ship physical goods around. So to the extent that's true and that people would prefer not to do that, there may be a viable market for Valet.

This has nothing to do with UX. Yes, eBay has a terrible UX but some people have stuff to sell and no time on their hands.
Does Instamotor exist because of the terrible UX of car dealerships?
