Frequently asked questions.

Why should I use backroomstuffs?

We handle all aspects of selling on eBay for other people. We offer a simple, cost effective and immediate alternative to selling items yourself. You simply drop your items off or call for a pick-up*!

How is backroomstuffs different from other eBay drop-off centres?

Many eBay auction drop-offs limit their services to items they value to be above $50-$100. At Backroomstuffs we do not limit what you can drop off. We have had just as much success selling lower priced items individually or combined into lots as we have with larger, more expensive items.

Simply go to eBay.com and check the selection box ‘Search title and description’ and search by username: backroomstuffs.

When can I expect to receive the proceeds of my sold item?

Typically, you will receive a cheque 30 - 45 days from the date your item sells. Depending on the payment method and speed at which the buyer pays for your auction, you may receive your funds sooner.

How does BackroomStuffs earn its commission?

Backroomstuffs makes a commission only on the items we sell, calculated as a percentage of the item sale price. This commission is used to cover the costs of listing, payment collection, customer service and packing + shipping.
