Could You do Anything Faster than You do Now? Feb 15, 2009: So the Christmas rush on eBay is over, and it’s now time to look forward to selling and advancing our businesses in the New Year. There’s no better time than now to look at how you run things, because there are usually plenty of lessons to be learned over the busiest time of the year.

Feb 8, 2009: Of all the ambiguities, inaccuracies and misunderstandings proliferating on eBay today, it’s those concerning selling off-the-page and linking to outside sales pages via eBay Classified Ads that cause the greatest confusion and which also raise the most hackles.

It’s a problem that needs addressing, and quickly, not just because eBay Classified Ads cost less than $10 for a full month’s promotion during which time they can achieve double-figure product sales and grow a mountainous mailing list for future promotions. I’m going to let you in on a secret, one that makes me several thousand pounds every month.
