QuikDrop International announced its eBay sales surpassed $5.1 million for the month of October at its eBay drop-off retail stores. The company attributes the milestone to strong sales in real estate and eBay Motors as well as over 13,000 completed auctions for consumer items.

QuikDrop founded its first franchised eBay drop-off store in August 2003 and reports 80 store locations in 25 states as well as locations in Australia, Canada and China.

eBay's Director of Marketplace Programs Brad Porteus said eBay expects to see $200 million in gross merchandise volume (the value of goods sold on its site) this year through eBay drop-off stores and Trading Assistants sales. eBay also said it sees consignment sellers moving from servicing consumers exclusively to serving businesses, charities and government agencies as well.
