Sell Your Animals Online

Sell Your Animals Online CORN PICKERS Corn Pickers (11D) 29-3-7 If you raise exotic animals and need a new way to sell them, you might want to check out Exotic Animal Auctions. It's an internet-based auction site that lets you sell and buy all kinds of animals, semen straws and even livestock-related supplies and equipment. You can also list more conventional domestic animals at the site. While registration for both buyers and sellers is free, the website charges the seller a fee of 5 percent of the purchase price for each item sold. Posting and uploading pictures is free. The only personal information contained in the auction listings are the members username and zip code. Sheila Levesque, a website administrator, recommends sellers put their city and state in the item description so potential buyers can check on transportation issues, which are negotiated between the seller and buyer after the sale. "When transporting animals every state has their own regulations on what types of animals can be brought into or transported through the state," she says, adding that there's a section about that in the Policies/User Agreement. If a potential buyer has a question about the auction, it's publicly posted along with the seller's answer. Once the item sells, both are contacted so payment arrangements can be made. Levesque personally handles any questions or problems. "All contact is on a personal, one-on-one level by me, a real human. We don't give any computer generated answers."
