The system includes a networking device and shipping carton dispenser configured to provide a shipping carton for shipping the item to a depository. The system further includes a shipping label dispenser for providing a fold-under label to be adhered to the shipping carton, and a slot for dispensing a transaction card to the seller. The shipping carton is shipped to the depository after the transaction card is loaded with the exchange value.
