'Tis the Season to De-Gift: eBay Drop-Off Service Helps You Skip Long Return Lines During Post-Holiday Season

SAN CARLOS, Calif., Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- We all receive holiday gifts we don't need or that don't suit our taste. This post-holiday season, many savvy consumers will be heading online to eBay to discard their unwanted holiday gifts and earn extra cash to buy what really was on their Christmas and Hanukah wish lists.

This year, consumers who don't have the time, experience or Internet access to use eBay will be using eBay drop-off services to de-gift. One drop- off service that has become a leader in both volume and customer satisfaction is AuctionDrop, http://www.auctiondrop.com/. Anyone in the U.S. can use AuctionDrop simply by dropping things off -- unpacked, valued at over $75 and weighing under 25 lbs. -- at The UPS Store in their neighborhood.

The drop-off store process is simple and there are no upfront costs. You just complete a simple form, drop off the item, and The UPS Store location ships it to AuctionDrop's processing center. There, AuctionDrop handles all of the necessary steps for selling the item, including professional photography, testing, research, listing, customer service, repacking, shipping and returns.

After the item sells, you get a check for the selling price, minus a professional services fee.

"After the holidays are over, the last thing most people want to do is go to crowded malls and stand in long return lines," said Randy Adams, founder and CEO of AuctionDrop. "The beauty of AuctionDrop is that we help people earn cash so they can buy things that they really need."

When evaluating which gifts to sell, keep in mind that some items are known to sell better than others on eBay advises Adams.

Best-selling items include laptops, digital cameras, guitars, designer purses (i.e. Chanel, Louis Vuitton), figurines (i.e. Lladro, Hummel), film cameras (i.e. Hasselblad, Leica), iPods, crystal (i.e. Waterford, Baccarat), designer watches (i.e. Patek Philippe, Rolex) and Lionel train sets.

You can call AuctionDrop's customer service line seven days a week at 1- 866-385-DROP to discuss the value of your items and determine if they are appropriate for eBay. To learn more, you may also visit http://www.auctiondrop.com/.
