Franchise Graveyard: eBay DropOff Stores
(FranchisePick.Com) The widely hyped eBay dropoff store franchise concept is simple: You open a retail storefront in an upscale area. People bring in unwanted items they want to sell. You photograph, post and sell the items on eBay for them and keep a percentage of the sale.
Do a GOOGLE search on any of the major eBay dropoff franchise companies (iSold It, Snappy Auctions, or the others) and you’ll see the widespread hype encouraging you to invest $150,000 and up to be part of this HOT new franchise concept.
The only problem with the eBay dropoff franchise concept? It doesn’t work.

If you are failed eBay DropOff Store that believes the AC Nielsen study that eBay commissioned grossly misrepresented the size of the market opportunity, please contact us ASAP.
