Zippi no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.
Zippi, also known as Zippi Networks, operated as an online-selling and eBay-related business opportunity that promoted services for helping consumers sell unwanted items online. Public descriptions from the company’s earlier period indicate that Zippi affiliates could list items for sale, complete transactions, and earn commissions from the sale proceeds.
The original Zippi Networks business later shifted away from the eBay/consignment concept and repositioned itself as a mobile applications company. Zippi Networks traded on the Pink Sheets under ZIPZ and announced mobile app, gaming, and social-networking initiatives before changing its name and ticker in 2013 to Mobile MatchMaking, Inc. / MLOV. The current www.zippi.com redirects to a UK photo-gift retailer and does not appear to be the same business opportunity.
