Village hall sets up Ebay shop
VILLAGERS have set up their own eBay trading site to raise money for their village hall.
Four members of Todwick village hall committee are running their own limited company called e-vend.
They will sell residents’ unwanted items on eBay for them, in return for a 20 per cent donation of the selling price to village hall funds.
Trustee Bryan Ferris said they got the idea from neighbouring Kiveton Park, where a similar scheme has run successfully for five years.
He said: ”The village hall committee isn’t allowed to trade so we’ve set up a limited company.
”We piloted e-vend last year and launched it properly last month. We will take a photo of the item someone wants to sell and then do everything else, including wrapping the item up and posting it.”
Money raised from e-vend donations will be used for the upkeep of the village hall.
Anyone wanting to sell through e-vend can contact Mr Ferris on 01909 773853.
