Now sellers can send in items for listing on eBay
In a new twist for helping sellers list products on eBay.com, iSold It LLC, an eBay listing services firm, is letting sellers send their items to iSold It for sale.
Like the more than 20 other eBay drop-off services companies that have emerged in recent months, iSold It stores are designed to let people drop off items to be listed on eBay. Now it expects to expand its reach with sellers by letting them send their items to an iSold It store. “With our new mail-in service, we can help customers anywhere sell their items on eBay,” says Elise Wetzel, founder and president of iSold It, which is partly owned by Wetzel’s Pretzels, a chain of 200 retail pretzel bakeries.
ISold It provides a store locator on its web site, iSold-It.com, where sellers can e-mail the firm for an estimate of a product’s value before sending items to be listed on eBay. Sellers then print out a registration form from iSold-It.com and send it with the item for sale. A spokesman for eBay says he’s unaware of other mail-in services offered by eBay drop-off stores, which operate independently of eBay.
ISold It accepts items valued at $50 or more, photographs them, posts their listing on eBay and manages the sale and fulfillment, then sends the seller a check minus a commission and eBay listing fees. The average seller receives 65-86% of the final selling price, iSold It says.
ISold It, which is based in Pasadena, CA, says it is registered in 47 states to sell franchises and has agreements to open 100 stores. It expects to have 50 stores operating in about 12 states by the end of this year, a spokeswoman says.
