eBay Store Closes

Do you have any merchandise at the “I’ll Sell It on eBay” store at 805 Lake Avenue?

If you do, you’d better hot-foot it over there and collect it by this Friday, August 31, 2:00PM.

The store has closed, and a sign on the door advises customers to pick up all merchandise by August 31, 2:00PM, or else. The “or else” is that YOUR merchandise will be donated to charity.

Perhaps that condition was stated in the consignment clause of the business and you knew about it when you consigned your merchandise there for sale on eBay. This seems a terrible business practice to me. Presumably the business has made a bonafide attempt to contact every seller. I have no reason to think that it has not.

Still, donating YOUR merchandise to charity is not the right solution for a business that could not sustain itself and went out of business. Merchandise MUST be returned to the seller.

If you have merchandise at this store, pick it up. And let your friends know, if they have merchandise there. Contact the owner, whose name and email address are on the door: Patrick Slocum at illsellitonebay@yahoo.com
