Employment
SpaceCat is hiring!
SpaceCat has been a family-owned comics and collectibles shop in San Jose since
1988, and we have online storefronts on both Amazon and eBay.
If comics, trading cards, vintage videogames, or collectibles are already part of your life, this might be your kind of job!
We're not looking for someone killing time between other options; we’re looking for someone who'd hang out here even if they didn't work here
Schedule & Availability
SpaceCat is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Right now, we’re seeking a full time employee (32+ hours/week),but the scheduling is very flexible and a part time positions is possible.
New hires are generally expected to be available anytime from 9:45 AM to 9:15 PM, daily.
availability is one of the most important things we look for. Pay
Pay starts at $18.45/hour with significant room to grow! Pay raises are expected as you take on more responsibilities around the store, such as running our TCG events and handling buys.
The Role
The two main aspects of the job are online and in store.
Online: you’ll be making listings for our eBay store (mostly bulk comic lots, but a smattering of other products as well).
In the store: you’ll be helping customers, cashiering, and keeping the store neat, stocked, and orderly.
Over time, as you establish yourself here, you may take on further responsibilities such as involvement in specific game lines (events, ordering, inventory).
Typically these additions will result in increased pay.
What You'll Do
Help customers on the floor and answer detailed product questions (condition, edition, etc)
Operate the register and handle basic POS tasks
Photograph, describe, price, and list items on eBay
Communicate with customers in writing - this is why clear, correctly spelled, and adequately punctuated English is important.
Price items accurately
Keep sales floor and warehouse organized
What We're Looking For
Strong written English — you'll be writing listings and customer messages daily
Comfortable with practical math — pricing, markups/markdowns, and percentages come up constantly
Some familiarity with comics, TCGs, or vintage games/toys is a big plus
Broad, consistent availability
Looking for someone planning to stay a while, not a short-term "try it out" gig
Reliable and detail-oriented
Application
Requirements
Note that you must be 18 or over to apply.
