Suggested Reading for 8 February 2008

February 8, 2008

Statue_Reading_NewspaperThis Super week is coming to an end. With the Super Bowl and Super Tuesday behind us, we can all refocus our efforts on making money on eBay.

Here are the selections for this week:

  • The latest acquisition rumor is courtesy of the San Jose Mercury News. They are reporting that eBay may be interested in buying AOL. Ah, you have to love those rumors!
  • File this one under bad product sourcing ideas!
  • A Pennsylvania seller faces a stiff monetary fine for consignment selling on eBay. This is a case of bureaucracy run amok. Keep in mind she was what eBay calls a Trading Assistant, which means she sold items for other people and took a commission.
  • A New York Times article about how eBay seems to be favoring larger sellers. (This is something that we disagree with, as we wrote yesterday.) But, what do you expect from someone (i.e., the reporter that wrote the NYT article) who doesn’t totally understand the eBay marketplace?

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!
