From Anne D'Innocenzio, AP Business Writer on Yahoo News. This is one of the best articles I've seen that explains the current market. Excerpts include: 1. Secondhand merchandise online is going for 25 to 35 percent below what it commanded a year ago, estimated Brian Riley, senior analyst at research firm The TowerGroup. 2. Baughman, who runs eBizAuctions, said that over the past four months she's been working with mostly desperate sellers instead of mainly casual ones. Most...

It was announced about a year ago that we can not have the word "auction" in our ID unless we are licensed. Well, I am now licensed as an Auction Company. The question is: Where do I send the paperwork? I've been sending emails for two weeks and can not get a reply from anyone. Thank you in advance. LG Auction Service

eBay needs us!!! Be sure to see the video at Link Here's the story: eBay Says Big-Box Retailers Trying to Shut It Down By Ina Steiner AuctionBytes.com December 05, 2008 "eBay's lobbyist joined retailers and antitrust experts in Washington, D.C. on Thursday to discuss the Retail Price Maintenance (RPM), calling it "price fixing."

I've been optimistic that consignment, resale, eBay Trading Assistants, eBay Drop Off Stores would thrive during this economic meltdown. Maybe I was wrong for NEW items where the supply greatly exceeds demand. When something is already 70% off at the brick & mortar store, there's not much room left for commissions and profit for the consignor. See The Huffington Post's Nov. 27 "Holiday Season May Already Be Over For Frantic Retailers" article posted by AuctionBytes at: Link What's...

Found this from AuctionBytes. Link Online auction site eBay has built a dedicated following since launching over a decade ago. The site marketed itself as a bargain-hunters paradise, specialising in cut-price, second hand bargains - and made millionaires out of "everyday" entrepreneurs in the process. Having built itself into a global billion-dollar business dominating the etailer market, it now wants to rid itself of its "flea market" image given the slew of copycat rivals and more...

From Ina Steiner at AuctionBytes: "eBay Sellers Should Brace for Monday's Major Announcement" on Monday at Link Here's the first paragraph: "eBay is making a major announcement on Monday, CEO John Donahoe told Wall Street.

How many eBay Trading Assistant consignment sellers will this affect? "The new program goes into effect in October, at which time the current PowerSeller icon will no longer be displayed." To Joe Average on the street, I think PowerSeller connotes volume and the term sometimes had to be explained. The new "Top-Rated Seller" term sounds like it covers more facets in determining the best all around sellers. What do you think? See Link Linda Free Sign Up!

Item sold for $174. Pretty good for the 50 cent investment. Anyway, after the winning bidder paid and I was packing, I get this LLllloooooooonnnggggGGGGG email about how this person entered $375 into his new sniping software and left for the weekend CONFIDENT he had one. Monday morning he was LIVID to see it had sold to someone else. I suggested he contact the software company. I shipped the item to the winning bidder. I got several more emails from him, which I ignored. Did I do right???...

Has anyone else seen this with their BIN listings? I list my 30 day BIN items with 'require immediate payment'. But twice recently, somehow, a buyer won the item but didn't make the immediate payment - and one of those (last month) turned into an UID and the second (today) hasn't paid yet. How is it technically possible to do this - win a BIN that requires the immediate payment, but not pay it? When I buy BIN items myself I am redirected through PayPal to complete the transaction....

Just got finished with live help....because my search standing dropped to lowered a few mins ago!!! They checked into it and said email trust and safety so they can fix it so on your Dashboard will show higher search. I really don't like the new best match even if I'm highest or lowest . Just a heads up everyone.
