Corri McFadden| Founder & Owner of eDrop-Off, @corrimcfadden
eDrop-Off founder Corri McFadden was ambitious at a very early age, as she skipped her college graduation to attend eBay LIVE! Here, she found the direction she needed to move forward with her senior project to start eDrop-Off luxury consignment. In celebration of its 10th year in business, eDrop-Off recently launched, The Collection, an eCommerce website and retail location featuring items at fixed prices while continuing to honor their status as the #1 Seller in the “Shoes, Handbags and Accessories” category and Titanium Seller on eBay!
Corri has also evolved as a Style Expert with her widely popular lifestyle site, CorriMcFadden.com, which features a Personal Stylist (fans simply email her what items they are looking for, and she directly responds with options to fit their search), DIY’s, recipes, and fashion “Must Haves.” Most recently, Corri was inspired by the birth of her daughter, Zelda, to launch a second site, Glitter and Bubbles. The modern-day Mom's guide targets those looking for inspiration through fashion, décor, and food.
