Suggested Reading for 22 February 2008

It is February 22nd already. Wow! Time flies when you are making money on eBay.

As we gaze out the windows of our corporate headquarters here in the Valley of the Sun, it is gray and overcast again and it’s certainly a nice change from what seems like constant sun that we get on an almost daily basis!

Here are the selections for this week:

• AuctionBytes has an article about a new View Item page. From the looks of it, if eBay goes with a new View Item page like this one, there will be plenty for eBay sellers to get all up in arms about.
• Are you a music lover? Then you missed your chance to purchase the ultimate collection for a starting bid of a mere $3 Million. Chump change! The auction ended earlier this week with a winning bid of $3,002,150. If the buyer doesn’t cough up the dough, the seller will relist and you will have another opportunity to buy the collection for yourself!
• FindLaw.com recently posted the first part of an article about eBay’s decision to take away the seller’s ability to rate buyers and how defending one’s reputation plays into it. This is an interesting read if you want to get a legal perspective on the situation.
• Only eBay has an excellent analysis of the eBay listing decrease due to this week’s seller strike. Only eBay shows how the listings dropped off as last week’s listing promotion ran its course, but the overall decrease in listings is only 4% from pre-promotion/pre-strike levels. One could make an argument that a 4% drop is statistically insignificant, or it is a result of the strike. We’ll leave it up to you to decide.

That is it for this week. Have a great and productive weekend making money on eBay and we will have more great posts starting Monday!
