At Ztail, our mission is to change the way consumers make purchases by introducing new ownership models.

We think it's time that you had more than one way to think about owning your favorite things. Ownership models exist for your most expensive purchases (Lease or buy a car? Mortgage or rent a house?) as well as for some of our less expensive purchases (you can rent a dvd or listen to millions of mp3's for a monthly fee) but what about the things in between? Cell phones, digital cameras, bicycles; why aren't there more ways to own these products?

Ztail was founded in 2005 by internet veterans with experience at companies like Google, Homegain, Efficient Frontier, ePinions and Shopping.com. Since we started, we have been making strides in changing the way consumers buy and sell online.

In 2007, we launched Pushbutton Publishing, the fastest and easiest way to sell on eBay; in 2008 Ztail was awarded the Grand Prize in the eBay Developers Widget Contest. Then in July 2008, Ztail partnered with TechCrunch to offer the first ever eBay Guaranteed Selling Price (GSP). Timed to coincide with Apple's iPhone 3G launch, Ztail guaranteed the eBay resale value of 1st generation iPhones for TechCrunch readers and every participant received more than the guaranteed resale price.

Today, Ztail is embracing an entirely new approach to ownership. Ztail's approach to e-commerce lets shoppers buy with confidence and upgrade to the newest gadgets more frequently. We call it 'Worry Free Shopping' and we hope you try it out.
