Show 07-09-06: eBay Nixes Google Checkout, PayPal Prez Quits, JyvePro, Overstock.com Warehouse Returns, eBay Custom Pages, Amazon Affiliate Store, Nameboy, Logos, Wholesale Directory, HTML Tags

Surrender Meg; resistance is futile.

The Continuing Crisis: eBay denies Google Checkout access to the”community”. PayPal’s prez quits, for “personal reasons” (echoing Custer at the Little Big Horn)…while the Google Borg goes about merrily assimilating all there is that is. My head hurts. Its like eavesdropping on conversation between Kim Jong-il and Anna Nicole Smith.

Is JyvePro a glimpse into what a Skype enabled transaction on eBay might look like? Hot deals on Overstock.com Warehouse returns. Are you using “custom pages” in your eBay store to their best advantage?…listen in on how to create a landing page. A&W Surplus offers its merchandise at auction. In the mood for a stand alone site full of Amazon inventory?…GMP is offering just that but you need to consider it carefully. Internet Retailer reports that your competition is investing or reinvesting in their on-line business; are you?

Nameboy is a great tool for naming your web site…and that’s just the beginning. A professional logo can go a long way to establishing trust with your buyers; we examine two sites that can have you looking as good as the big sites. EZtradein for all of those obsolete grey boxes that were so cutting edge one upon a time. A wholesale directory mysteriously enough called WholesaleWholesale that is chock-full of…?

HTML tags for the clueless HTML tagger. Pet Supply closeouts for pet related bargains. An insider’s site for finding all the premium chocolate you’d ever need. A wholesale site for tea accessories that is secretive….and this is a good thing. A site all about wheat allergies that is a text book example of how to identify niche markets, develop a site and then utilize auction affiliate programs to make it pay.
