eBay LogoScott Pooler, a former official eBay Trading Assistant, and a master franchise representative for an eBay drop store franchise chain weighs in on the subject of franchising and stand alone eBay drop stores in Trading Assistant Journal, a weblog that provides news and commentary for eBay consignment specialists.
