AuctionDrop is a storefront outfit that accepts goods that you wish to offer for sale on eBay, photographs them, describes them, posts them, and pays you the winning amount, less their 60-80 percent commission.
AuctionDrop applies its sales-process expertise to write compelling descriptions (the key, Adams says, is to be honest about each item's defects) and to professionally photograph and pack everything. More important, AuctionDrop employees don't accept every item for sale. Adams says items that are in bad shape or crawling with bugs are turned away (a good policy), as are oversize goods like furniture. And he won't take items likely to fetch less than $50. Adams is aware that AuctionDrop could make a nice fence for stolen goods, so he has several methods, some secret, to ensure that "if a thief uses our service, we will catch them."
The company pays 20 to 40 percent of the selling price to the original owner. Items that don't sell are either held for pickup by the owner or donated to charity, at the owner's option.
