Only about 250 of those eBay drop-off stores opened before the failing ones started closing. Now there are only about 100 still open and trying to survive by continually remaking themselves in a effort to find what “works.” The plush iSold It corporate HQs closed outside LA and moved to a “home-based office” in San Diego. Two of their competitors, NuMarkets and QuikDrop, went out of business and a third, SnappyAuctions, is slowly disappearing.

All these companies have been fighting law suites. iSold It was removed from the Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top 100 list because of their shady dealings. You can read the facts about eBay drop-off store scams on http://www.amitheonlyone.org.

None of the drop-off stores are what they were set up to be and they are not doing well. The owners are struggling to make money and putting their personal savings into them as long as they can. When they fail to produce revenue some owners are selling them for less than they spent to get into them.

Why the high failure rate? The eBay drop-off store concept doesn’t work. By using them you are costing them money, delaying the eventual closing, and supporting the corrupt franchisers. What if the store closes after you drop off your items? It has happened more than once. Some people have gotten their stuff or money back and others haven’t.

Here’s a blog that will open your eyes: http://www.franchisepick.com/isold-it-american-dream-or-franchise-nightmare/ read it and tell me you want to be part of a company like this!

P.S. iSold It claims to be the #1 seller on eBay. Ask them to prove it. (They can’t, because they aren’t.)
