    All students are encouraged to bring one small item from your home that you would like to sell.

At the event, you will get personal assistance with listing your item on eBay using your preferred tool - either right inside eBay.com with the instructor's laptop and camera or using your smartphone (iPhone, Android, or Windows) or iPad and listing with the eBay mobile app!

By the end of the day you should be comfortable listing items for sale on eBay, taking payments, shipping to customers, and turning the old stuff in your closet into cash!

Registration is limited to only 20 seats to ensure everyone gets personal attention, and is offered on a first come-first served basis.  After registering, you will receive a personal e-mail from the instructor to confirm within 24-hours.  

Per the Alameda Recreation & Parks Department's policy, withdrawals may be made with a $15 processing fee until the day before the event.  The remainder of the class fee will be placed as a credit on your account with the Alameda Recreation & Parks Department and may be applied towards any AR&PD class.
