"How do I become a valet? Valets are carefully screened for inclusion in the program.

Local smaller valets would be something nice, since as a seller and buyer on ebay I enjoy the occasional local delivery of an item which spares the hassles, pollution and the costs of shipping. You can come accross assholes too but that's part of the charm.


How do they expect people to post just over 4700 items per day?


From the looks of it this is something they expect to be run by a small business with a few people.

Not many individuals have space in their home to store and turn over 100,000+ items in a month. Or have "Physical presence in all major metropolitan hubs in the US".
