Show 05-28-06: eBay, Yahoo & Site Diversion, VeRO Rampage, Buyer’s Guides as Revenge, Stores & Web Directories, Google Base Help, 1% Solution, Creative Feedback

Want to sell Nitrous Oxide illegally to those under 18? “IT” is no problem on eBay.
Yahoo & eBay strike a deal that will only serve to distract buyers from your auctions. Under 18 and interested in buying some bad gas?..no problem on eBay. VeRO owners using their clout to stifle any and all competition. Buyer’s Guides as a means to really unload on them that done you wrong.

A simple site that provides a useful service that you cannot find anywhere on eBay. Adding your Store to web directories is an important step you’re most likely not taking. A Gift Basket supply wholesaler and some ideas about marketing…ever thought that you might be too descriptive in your descriptions?

Sometimes a new supplier is as close as your local shopping center; Pier 1, for example. How a 1% solution can really mean a great deal of improvement to your bottom line. A site that gives away all of those e-books you see for sale on-line as well as revealing a method used by many on-line sellers of information. Three By Three as an example of a good retail site. Haven’t figured out how to upload to Google Base?…a friendly site will show you how.

Tired of coming up with anything creative for your feedback?..we’ve got a site that will either amuse, confound or simply outrage your buyers automatically. SwapTree tries its hand at the barter market. An eBay cost calculator that might help doing your numbers.
