- Beat the competition & increase revenue
- Attract more valuable consignment merchandise
- Appear first in TA search as a featured Trading Assistant
- Meet eBay’s REDOL insurance requirement for carrying a $25,000 bond
Not everyone feels completely safe dropping off expensive merchandise with a Trading Assistant (TA) or Registered eBay Drop Off Location (REDOL). Many state legislatures have responded to this need by proposing new laws that require TAs to become licensed and/or bonded and eBay now requires it for REDOLS.
To be eligible for the buySAFE Trading Assistant Bond, you must pass the comprehensive buySAFE Business Inspection (apply here) and become a buySAFE Bonded Merchant.
The buySAFE Trading Assistant Bond is a blanket bond that covers all consignors up to an aggregate amount of $25,000. This protection costs $250 for 1 full year of coverage.
buySAFE is the leading e-commerce bonding service, used by the most experienced and professional online merchants. Our bonding partner Liberty Mutual is a leading global insurer and Fortune 500 Company with over $70 billion in assets.
Consignors can feel comfortable giving their merchandise to a Trading Assistant who is bonded and is meeting eBay’s REDOL insurance requirements.
If you are already an approved buySAFE Bonded Merchant contact customersupport@buysafe.com or call 1.888.926.6333 and ask to purchase a Trading Assistant Bond.
Once you have completed the application someone from buySAFE will contact you for your account orientation. Please let them know you would like to purchase a Trading Assistant Bond at this time.
