Turning old memories into new money is easy with iSold It.
Let our experts take the work out of selling online for you. From start to finish,
we manage the entire process to help you get top dollar for your items with little
to no effort on your part.
Step 1: Drop it Off.
Stop by any iSold It store with an item you'd like to sell. Our experienced staff
can conduct some quick online research at no charge to you to help estimate its
value. If your item meets a minimum online resale value, our store staff will
work with you to capture any key copy points you'd like to make in your eBay
listing. Once you're checked in, we place the item in our inventory and hand
you a receipt. Then we get to work photographing and listing your item on eBay.
Step 2: Watch the Action.
Once we've listed your item on eBay, we'll send you an email with a link to the
auction, so that you can watch all the action as it occurs. Many of our sellers
tell us this part is as fun as getting their final check!
Step 3: Receive Your Check.
After the item sells, we collect payment and professionally ship your item to
the winning bidder. Once the transaction is complete, we send you a check. Or,
if you prefer, we can send the proceeds to your favorite charity.

What is iSold It?
We are the #1 chain of drop-off stores in the country and the #1 seller
of items on e-Bay. With hundreds of locations across of the country, we
help individuals and business sell their items on eBay.
What does it cost to sell my stuff with iSold It?
We charge you nothing to list your item. After your item sells, we deduct
our commission plus eBay and payment processing fees before sending you a
check for the balance, which will generally amount to 55-70% of the selling
price. (In contrast, traditional consignment stores usually give the seller
only 40-50%.)
Why shouldn't I sell it myself?
You could...just as you could paint your own house, or draft your own will.
But most people know that they'll get a better quality result if they hire
an expert with the right tools, training, expertise, and reputation. iSold
It became the No. 1 Volume Seller on eBay by being the expert in online consignment
sales:
* Our trained researchers can appraise your item while you're in the store,
so you know whether your item is likely to sell, and at what price.
* Our professional photographers have the right cameras, lighting, backdrops,
settings and editing software to visually showcase your item to its best advantage.
* Our expert copywriters maximize your item's exposure by discovering the best
categories in which to list your item and using the key words that are most
likely to match a prospective buyer's online search.
* Our customer service representatives promptly answer questions from prospective
buyers to ensure that they have the information they need to bid with confidence
on your item. They also have the experience to avoid phony bidders and online
scams.
* Our shippers carefully pack and ship your item so that it arrives promptly
and in good condition, minimizing returns.
* Our national brand and high feedback rating makes buyers more likely to bid
on our auctions rather than auctions run by individuals.
In fact, many items we sell end at a value 30-40% higher than comparable
items sold by private individuals--completely offsetting our commission and
fees!
For how long do you list my item for sale on eBay?
Typically, iSold It uses a seven day auction to maximize bidding interest.
However, we can run auctions as short as one day for items with time constraints,
such as tickets for sporting events, concerts, and so on
Can I watch my auction while it's in progress?
Yes--that's part of the fun! When we launch your auction, we'll send you
an email with a link to the auction, so you can follow the action.
What if my item doesn't sell during the auction period?
If your item doesn't sell, you will be notified by email and can either
pick it up at the store within 10 days, or allow us to donate your item to
charity.
Can I set a minimum selling price for my auction?
Yes. Sellers can set an opening bid of $9.99 or more. However, while minimum
opening bids above $9.99 do provide a "safety net" for which an
item must sell, they can limit bidding activity. Lower opening bids attract
more interest from the eBay community, so that multiple bidders are competing
for the item. eBay's research shows that an auction that starts at a lower
opening bid will almost always sell for a higher ending value than an identical
item with an opening bid near the item's final value.
When can I expect to receive my check?
Typically, you will receive a check about 30-45 days from the date you
dropped off your item. Please note that winning bidders who delay in paying
for your item will cause delays in our timing for sending out your check.
In addition, occasionally a winning bidder may never pay for your item. In
this case, we will cancel the original auction and re-list your item for
free. Your check amount and payment timing will be based on the results of
this new auction.
