Meridian which offers the only fully integrated consignment tracking and auction management service, announced it will launch its web based alternative to the brick and mortar "drop off" franchise model, at the upcoming eBay Live conference in New Orleans, June 24-26. Meridian is alone in providing exclusive fully integrated service to eBay Trading Assistants and other auction consignment enterprises who wish to track consigners, create, upload and manage auctions all in one web based system.
The new system which has been developed under a great deal of security will enable anyone who wants to operate a full consignment business without the need to incur the expense associated with setting up typical brick and mortar franchises. Meridian's new system is based on a powerful "master" account that acts as a self contained operating business model. "Would-be entrepneurs can literally pick a ready made turnkey business "off the shelf" and put it to work without having to buy an expensive franchise", said Jon Camuso, the company's Chief Operating Officer. "With all the press attention that drop off franchises have been enjoying lately it is clear that there is a real need entrepeneurs have to plug into the eBay market opportunity. Meridian is the natural evolution of a system that enables a logical transition to selling items on consignment for other people on eBay".
