AuctionDrop Expands into Hawaii and Alaska through The UPS Store.

SAN CARLOS, Calif. -- Continuing its commitment to making the sale of items on eBay easier and more convenient for anyone, virtually anywhere in the country, AuctionDrop (www.auctiondrop.com) today announced it will begin servicing customers in Hawaii and Alaska through The UPS Store locations in those states. This announcement positions AuctionDrop as the only eBay drop-off service to have locations in all 50 United States. AuctionDrop drop-off locations at The UPS Store network in Alaska total 15 and those in Hawaii total nine.

Consumers in Hawaii and Alaska simply bring unpacked AuctionDrop-authorized items to any The UPS Store location to be professionally packed and shipped to AuctionDrop's centralized processing hub. AuctionDrop's staff handles the necessary steps for selling an item on eBay, including photography, testing, research, listing, customer service, payment processing, re-packing, shipping, and returns.

"Consumers everywhere are looking for a simple and convenient way to sell items on eBay," said Randy Adams, co-founder and CEO of AuctionDrop. "Broadening our services to residents of Hawaii and Alaska allows everyone across the country access to eBay no matter where they are. They can reap the rewards eBay can offer, turning their treasures into cash."

AuctionDrop leverages its deep understanding of which items sell well on eBay to help ensure customers have a positive selling experience. Based on this experience, AuctionDrop will accept items for drop-off through The UPS Store network in the following categories: antiques and collectibles; camcorders; cameras; car audio & video; cell phones; computers & networking equipment; electronics; jewelry & watches; musical instruments & equipment; shoes, purses, leather goods and accessories; sports & hobby equipment; and video game systems.

Customers can easily find their nearest location of The UPS Store through the store locator at www.auctiondrop.com, or by calling 866-DROP-IT-OFF.

Customers wishing to sell an item on eBay simply drop off their unpacked item at any The UPS Store location. No payment is necessary at drop-off with basic service, as AuctionDrop takes a variable commission on the sale. Items are then packaged and sent to the AuctionDrop processing center, where the company evaluates the item, photographs it, writes a description and lists it on eBay with a goal of securing the best possible sale price for the seller. Once the auction ends, AuctionDrop takes care of payment processing and shipping, and sends a check to the customer. If an item doesn't sell, it will be returned to the customer at no additional cost.

Key to AuctionDrop's ability to provide the highest quality customer service is its centralized processing hub. Unlike competitive offerings that have no way to ensure consistency or quality control across locations, AuctionDrop leverages its "hub-and-spoke" model to tap into technologies and processes that ensure sellers receive the maximum value for their listed items. And because AuctionDrop-listed items have been carefully photographed, listed and verified against fraud, consumers can be confident in what they're buying. Customers can also take advantage of AuctionDrop's expert, 7-day a week customer service center to answer any questions or help them through the eBay process.
