QuikDrop was the first eBay drop-off store concept in the USA, and has quickly established almost 100 stores in its home market. The popularity of its concept is being recognised in other markets, and the brand has established Master Franchisees in Canada, the UK and China.

The eBay drop-off store concept makes it easy for customers and businesses to sell their items on eBay. QuikDrop takes digital photographs of items, writes a detailed description and posts the product on eBay, the world's largest marketplace. When the item sells, QuikDrop packs and ships it to the buyer and sends a cheque to the seller, minus a commission.

"QuikDrop is the first eBay retail franchise that will help you reach a worldwide market with stock you do not have to buy," says UK Master Franchisee Mark Hare. "Unlike the packing and shipping business, you not only make money on shipping a box, but what's in the box as well.

"eBay's auction technology along with QuikDrop's business model of click-and-mortar customer service technology is a combination that addresses the needs of the consumer, who can benefit from online liquidation services but simply does not have the time or expertise to sell items on eBay themselves.

"How many businesses can you get into where you have no stock costs, no accounts receivable and a potential customer base of 90 million people waiting to buy those items that you never paid for?"
