SAN ANTONIO, TX May 28, 2008 -- Today Consignment Pal (CP) released a new online national business directory of consignment stores, resale stores, antique stores, eBay Trading Assistants, eBay drop off stores, art galleries, business liquidators, non profit stores, and e-commerce websites at www.consignmentpal.com. The Consignment Pal Directory features specialized search options by business name, state, zip code, and distance.
The new CP Directory affords both business owners and resale buyers and sellers unparalleled convenience as compared to existing resale directories. Business owners enjoy a personal profile in which they can list their specialties, upload images, post articles, link to their website, and much more. For instance, Consignment Pal founder Linda Miller says, “I’m excited about our new feature that allows eBay sellers to showcase five active eBay listings on their profiles.” All business profiles include an interactive map to easily locate businesses. Additionally, CP works to protect business owners from email spam. Users can email business owners directly from the business profiles with the click of an icon, which in conjunction with a security code, ensures that business owners only receive emails from legitimate customers.

eBay has changed their policy for eBay Drop Off stores, effective January 15, 2008. There are no longer “Trading Assistants” nor “Trading Posts”. Instead, the program is now called REDOL (Registered eBay Drop Off Locations). In order to maintain REDOL status (searchable for people in your area for those that want to sell items on eBay). Please see below.
Notable Changes to maintain REDOL status:
Must SELL, not just LIST, ten items per month.
(Here are the BIG changes)Unless you and your customer agree in writing, you must list items for your customers within 7 days when taking in items.
Unless you and your customer agree in writing, you must give your customer a check within 30 days from when the buyer pays for the item.
You must notify your customer via email when their item is listed. You must notify them within 3 days of listing their item.
You must have a retail location open at least 5 days a week. Home-based businesses will not be permitted to participate in the REDOL program
In addition - ebay no longer will allow "REDOLS" to list motor vehicle items on eBay Motors - Nor will "REDOLS" be allowed to list or advertise Real Estate. 
What are your thoughts? Will you continue with the program?
