Easy to eBay: CompUSA Enters the eBay Drop Off Service Business
Quote: A year ago electronic retail chain giant Circuit City Stores Inc. tried cracking the eBay drop-off market, serving customers who want to sell on eBay but don’t want to deal with the details. It dropped out of the drop-off business after eight months, saying customer acceptance was good but the profits weren’t.

Now rival CompUSA is taking a stab at the eBay drop-off market with a service it calls Easy to eBay. A rival of Circuit City’s, CompUSA, with 240 stores, has launched an eBay drop-off, auction listing and fulfillment service at stores in Las Vegas and nearby Henderson, Nev. CompUSA will compete with the 20 or so national franchise chains that offer stand-alone eBay drop-off services.

In addition to offering the usual menu of listing, packaging and delivery services for a cut of the final eBay selling price, CompUSA is offering something its rivals don’t: the option to receive credit toward purchases in CompUSA stores, in lieu of cash as payment for goods sold on eBay....

Re: Easy to eBay: CompUSA Enters the eBay Drop Off Service Business
6 months sounds about right.  There are as many (if not more) failures as there are successes in the eBay drop-off business.

Quote:CompUSA is offering something its rivals don’t: the option to receive credit toward purchases in CompUSA stores, in lieu of cash as payment for goods sold on eBay.

How is that an incentive to choose CompUSA?  Is there any dfference between using (a rival's) cash and using a store credit when you make a purchase at CompUSA? Nooooo.
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
