- Walk-in traffic generates too much variety of items to
allow owners to reduce processing costs.
- The store looses money every time an item doesn't sell if
they charge no or too low up front fees.
- Successful eBay sellers specialize in selling items in one
category. Drop-off stores sell "everything."
- eBay fees have increased while average selling prices
have dropped.
- eBay gives no volume discount to any sellers.
- Getting high-ticket items to sell day after day is too time
consuming.
- Fighting negative feedback, shipping problems, and
unhappy customers takes too much time.
- Inflated shipping fees discouraged buyers.
- Franchisors make money selling the franchises, not from
store royalties.
- Franchisors have so many system problems they are
hurting the stores rather than helping.
- The more stores that open, the more saturated the selling
market.
