According to a report at DailyProgress.com, all that’s left of the iSold It ebay-drop off store franchise in Charlottesville, VA is the iSold It sign, an empty storefront and, until recently, an apologetic note to customers from the store’s former owner.
“To all iSold It customers, thank you for patience on waiting on your checks,” read […]
(FranchisePick.com) Ever since the iSold It eBay drop-off store franchise was launched in 2003, the entrepreneurial press has hyped the unproven concept as franchising’s hottest new opportunity.
Earlier this year, Entrepreneur Magazine named iSold It as #110 in its influential Entrepreneur 500 ranking, and named iSold It the #1 Top New Franchise for 2007.

Widespread store closings, angry franchisees and a seemingly unprofitable business model has forced iSold It, the celebrated leader in the eBay drop-off store franchise segment, to halt all domestic franchise sales.

If the leading eBay drop-off franchise chain iSold It is closing stores and fighting off bankruptcy due to problems with its business model, why are they still selling franchises in Canada, Australia and the UK?
