What Is This Agreement?
This is the 2026 updated professional, fillable eBay consignment agreement template for anyone who
lists items on online marketplaces on behalf of clients. It establishes a clear legal relationship
between the Reseller (the person who manages the marketplace account and does the
listing) and the Client (the person who owns the items).
If you run an eBay selling service, manage online listings for estate cleanouts, accept
drop-off consignment items, or operate any kind of online reseller listing service,
this is the editable contract you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this specific to eBay?
No — it covers all major online marketplaces including eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Facebook
Marketplace, Poshmark, Mercari, and others. A checkbox list lets you specify which
platforms apply to your arrangement.
Can I customize the commission rates?
Yes. The commission table has blank fields for you to fill in your own percentage tiers
by sale price range. You set the rates — the document structure is already built.
Is this a PDF or a Word document?
It’s a Microsoft Word .docx file so you can edit it. It opens in Microsoft Word (any
version) or free software like Google Docs, LibreOffice, and WPS Office.
What happened to the eBay Trading Assistant program?
eBay discontinued its official Trading Assistant program years ago, leaving resellers
with no official contract structure. This template fills that gap — it’s the agreement
the Trading Assistant program never provided.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a professionally structured template for informational and reference
purposes. For jurisdiction-specific legal guidance, consult a licensed attorney.
