Digital Downloadable Goods in Classified Ads Format Only
March 27, 2008 | Written by annliu | Filed Under SMO, eBay and Google News
The official announcement from ebay regards to sell the digital downloadable products has drop a big boom for lots of marketers that sell information products.
Digital goods are often reproduced at little to no cost to the seller. On eBay, this creates the potential for Feedback Manipulation (both real and perceived). To preserve the integrity of the Feedback system, effective March 31 all goods that can be digitally downloaded or transferred electronically must be listed using the Classified Ads format.
Using the Classified Ads format, sellers receive a 30-day ad at a fixed price. This solution enables sellers to continue to market their digital goods on eBay; however, because Classified Ad listings are a lead generation tool and do not result in transactions that go through eBay, Feedback cannot be exchanged between buyer and seller.

Your eBay Questions Answered
August 30, 2007 | Written by annliu | Filed Under Make Money Online
Finally I got my feet on the ground, feel so good to get back …
Remember few days ago I told you about the 99-cent trial of Derek Gehl’s brand-new eBay training system, I really opened a can of worms!
Since then I’ve been flooded with questions from people wanting to know why I’m suddenly singing the praises of eBay, instead
of focusing on how to help people become successful with a “regular” online business.
It’s not an “either-or” situation. You don’t have to choose between building your own “regular” online business or getting started with eBay.
In fact, after having read Derek Gehl’s new training system –The Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay — I’d say anyone who’s doing one without the other is seriously missing out!
Whether you have a “regular” business but aren’t taking advantage of eBay’s massive value, OR you have a successful eBay business but aren’t doing anything to promote it off eBay.
So in order to clear up any confusion, I thought I’d take a few moments to answer the top 3 questions I’ve received over the past week or so regarding eBay:
Question #1: “Why eBay??? I want to make ‘real’ money, not just make a few dollars selling junk for pennies!”
Here’s a news flash… Selling “junk” on eBay is never going to make you rich — and it’s not something I’d ever recommend.
The secret to eBay success is using key research tools to discover what people are buying on eBay — and how much they’re willing to spend. Then all you have to do is find a cheap source of that product so you can buy it for less, then turn around and sell it at a generous mark-up on eBay!
It’s not rocket science… and there are no tricks and gimmicks involved — just steady, reliable income, and the chance to grow
a huge opt-in list of people you can sell other products to in the future.
It might not be as “sexy” as the one-in-a-million chance of launching a website that starts making 1000s of dollars overnight. But it’s way more of a sure thing — and personally, I find a guaranteed extra $1,000 a month sexier than a distant longshot any day of the week!
Question #2: “I’ve been pouring all my free time and money into my online business — now you’re saying I need to start all over again with eBay?”
For goodness’ sake, no! If you’re smart, you should use eBay to help you grow your “regular” online business — not replace it!
Not only is eBay an excellent place to do valuable market research — so you know what your potential buyers are buying (and why!) — it also allows you to grow a huge opt-in list of people you can sell to, before your off-eBay site is even up and running!
Imagine that — being able to drive thousands of interested buyers to your site the very same day you launch it!
Question #3: “I already have a profitable online business. Why should I bother with eBay?”
My answer is, I guess it depends on how happy you are with your traffic numbers.
If you’re getting so much traffic that it’s crashing your server and you literally don’t know what to do with it, then you probably don’t want to use eBay to send more visitors to your site.
BUT — if you’re getting less than 500 visitors a day, or if you’re getting more than that but your visitors aren’t converting to sales — then you should seriously consider eBay. It’s a great way to drive highly targeted visitors to your site.
Remember, these are people you’ve found on the world’s largest marketplace, which means they’re enthusiastic online shoppers! They’re exactly the kind of people you want to introduce your products to.
I hope that clears up any misunderstanding about how eBay can help you grow your “regular” online business. If you’re
interested in learning more, I urge you to visit The Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay

Tips To Start Your eBay Business

Claim YOUR copy of this proven, step-by-step eBay Wealth System NOW for just $0.99… before someone else “steals” your copy and it’s too late!
The first time ever, Derek Gehl convinced his elite team of eBay PowerSellers to let him put their proven success system down on paper, so ANYONE can use it to achieve life-changing income on eBay.
This is the same system his eBay experts are using to teach their students how to build their own successful eBay businesses. Many of these students are making $1,000 to $10,000 a month on eBay — within a matter of weeks!
Anyway, here’s the ‘opportunity’ part comes in …
Because this is the first time he’s released this system to the general public, so he needs more people who can “testify” that his system actually works.
If making a LOT of money (at least $100,000+ in your first year) is something that interests you, I’d like to invite you to check out a “review copy” of his new eBay profit system and give it a try!
And because he’s so certain you’re going to achieve incredible success with this system, he’s willing to let you test-drive it absolutely risk free for a full 30 days — for only 99 cents!
Derek is banking on the fact that you’ll be up and running and making BIG profits on eBay in the next month or so, and will write him a nice “testimonial” that he can put up on our web page when he rolls out his full launch of this system to the public.
If it is not working for you, no big deal… Just send it back and it won’t have cost you anything.
So take part of it by going to eBay PowerSellers now!
P.S. I should mention, by the way, that this “system” has nothing to do with selling junk from around your house or scrounging stuff from flea markets and reselling it on eBay. See for yourself at Here.
Sanook! To Take Over eBay’s Site
June 1, 2007 | Written by annliu | Filed Under SMO, eBay and Google News
The US-based worldwide e-marketing group eBay is to close its www.ebay.co.th website and hand over its Thailand businesses to Sanook.com. Thailand will be the 38th market where eBay has a local presence.
eBay Inc announced an agreement with Sanook! the leading online portal in Thailand, to launch an e-commerce site that will enable individuals and businesses in Thailand to participate in local trade as well as cross border trade through eBay’s global Web sites.
According to research firm IDC, Thailand currently has more than 16 million Internet users - a figure expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25 percent through 2009.
“The e-commerce community in Thailand is among the most active we’ve seen anywhere,” said Lorrie Norrington, president, eBay international marketplaces. “Through this agreement, we are combining our core competency in cross border trade with Sanook’s local market expertise to deliver the best e-commerce experience for Thai users, enabling them to not only engage in domestic trade but also to buy from and sell to the world.”
“We are pleased to partner with eBay in creating this new e-commerce site which we believe will provide new economic opportunities for the growing online community in Thailand,” said Torboon Puangmaha, chief executive officer, Sanook Online Limited. “As Thai Internet users become more comfortable doing transactions online, there is a tremendous opportunity to leverage the eBay global online marketplace via the local co-branded site created especially for Thai users. We expect that the Sanook! eBay Web site will quickly become a popular place for people to buy and sell a wide variety of items both within Thailand as well as internationally.”
