I assure you, this will not be the last high level Powerseller to go out of business.
Will this be a wake up call to eBay about fees?
Top eBay PowerSeller Sell2All Inc. has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This is the second high-profile PowerSeller to close its eBay business this year. Glacier Bay DVD was eBay’s top feedback seller and closed its business abruptly in early February.
Sell2All founder Brandon Dupsky began selling on eBay in 1998 while working full-time in supply-chain management and attending night school to get his MBA at the University of Nebraska. In 2000, he launched Sell2All and expanded to other marketplaces, including Half.com, Amazon.com, and Overstock.com’s auction site.
In April 2004, Sell2All launched a drop-off store called DropPro, and 2 months later launched a seller tool for eBayers called AuctionRemote.com. The company was profiled in Amy Joyner’s 2005 book, “The eBay Millionaire: Titanium PowerSeller Secrets for Building a Big Online Business.” In it, Dupsky said he managed the risks of selling on eBay by acquiring merchandise in three distinct ways - buying directly from manufacturers and distributors; in partnership with drop shippers; and on a consignment basis.
