Special Report: Online Auctions

An antique watch, a wedding dress, an old computer -- cluttering up your house…when they could be netting you some cash.

Tracy Ogden, Auction Drop customer
"I have an accumulation of items that I don't need but I know that are worth something."

Tracy knew she could probably unload her stuff on eBay... but didn't have the time or knowledge to actually do it.

Tracy Ogden, Auction Drop customer
"I'm not the type of person to go on eBay myself, take a photo and things like that."

Now she doesn't have to... there are new companies out there who will run online auctions for you... saving you the hassle.

One of these companies is Auction Drop, available at over 3,000 UPS stores across the country…including one in Canton, Massachusetts.

Tom McMahon, The UPS Store, Canton
"Just bring it in, drop it off, and we take care of the rest."

Once you drop your items off at UPS, they're shipped to a central location.

There...auction drop takes pictures, creates eBay listings, and then ships the item once it sells.

You simply pick up the check.

"Simply the easiest way to sell things on eBay."

However…it's not the cheapest. Auction drop gets a commission - up to 40 percent of the item's sale price.

Tom McMahon, The UPS Store, Canton
"The fees vary depending upon the value of the item."

But for people like Tracy... the convenience factor is worth the price tag.
