Hello and Welcome to Auction Selling Training!

My name is Shirley Berry and I have been a part of the eBay community almost since their inception in 1995. I have been an avid seller since 1999 and in 2004 I made eBay my full "part-time" job and opened my store. I quickly gained Power Seller status which I've maintained to date - working my way to the TITANIUM!

I have over 30 years experience in the Sales & Marketing arena as an Executive Assistant. In April of 2005 I left General Motors and am now dedicating a good deal of my time teaching others learn how to buy and sell on eBay. As a Power Seller with over 3,000 successful transactions, I have learned firsthand what works.

In 2005 I was trained by eBay as an Education Specialist to bring the best practices of eBay selling to you. Whether you’re looking to supplement your regular income, start a fun and profitable new hobby, or sell on eBay full-time, I can help you meet your goals with success.

I am very proud to say that in March of 2007 I became the first Certified eBay Business Consultant in Michigan and one of only a handful in the entire country. The successful completion of the certified program has earned me the C after my name and also the title of Certified Education Specialist trained by eBay. If you already own a "brick and mortar" location or are a non-profit looking for ways to raise funds for your charity, I can now help you raise those funds or grow your business on eBay, providing on-site training to your employees.
