Web users who want to sell things on eBay but don't have the time or are too lazy will soon be able to drop their goods off at a shop which will manage the whole process.

iSold It already has 170 shops across the US, and the first UK store is set to launch in the West Midlands in June.

The shop will photographs each item, post them for sale online, hold the item in store, answers buyer questions, pack and ship the goods and then send a cheque to the customer.

To sell goods via iSold It, they need to be worth more than £40. The company then charges 30 per cent commission of the first £500 and 20 per cent of the remaining amount.

Phillip Molloy, iSold It's UK managing director said stores are planned across the country.

I thought ebay and paypal were rogues.

Ebay takes over 5% plus listing fees and paypal takes 20p per transaction plus 3% of total amount received.

Don't think shop will get many customers!!!!! :shock:
