FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Upstream Worldwide, Inc. d/b/a uSell.com (OTCBB:UPST), The Consumer Cash Commerce Platform™, today announced that it will begin offering branded and co-branded widgets that find the top cash offers for consumer electronics. The uSell.com widget is an effective way for publishing and ecommerce websites to earn revenue and provide added value to their customer base without their customers having to leave their site.
"Through the use of our custom widget we are able to provide publishers with the ability to embed a branded or co-branded interface within their website for value-added revenue," said Douglas Feirstein, Co-Founder and CEO of uSell. "The widget is an additional sales channel for uSell and will increase the revenue potential for our online partners while providing their customers with cash and a socially responsible way to recycle their electronics," added Feirstein.
Unlike typical widgets, the uSell widget is not a scaled down version of the uSell.com website experience. The widget is fully API-driven, so consumers can access all of uSell.com's capabilities, including searching for electronics to sell, such as cell phones, tablets, mp3 players, digital cameras and gaming devices. uSell then helps them get the best price by returning offers from multiple industry leading buyers. Once consumers select their buyer of choice, they will be directed to the buyer's website to complete the transaction. The buyer will then purchase the unwanted items directly from the consumer, providing them fast payment. All electronics will either be resold for reuse or responsibly recycled depending on their condition. An example of the uSell widget can be found on uSell's Facebook page.
"The uSell widget is literally as easy to use as embedding a YouTube video. All it takes is copying and pasting a few lines of code to get the widget integrated into virtually any web or Facebook page," said Christian Croft, VP of Product and User Experience.
