Auction Blog Prints a Lovefest Advertorial for eFashion Solutions…WTF?!?
Pin It I know and I will admit that I am a complete and total nut some days but hey you get what you pay for right? But when I got something that is so evidently crappy, I’ve got to put it out there. So here is Auctionbytes blog today, I find it odd that they would romance the hell out of eFashion Solutions (the eBay Fashion Vault guys) with a lovy-dovy kissy face article just one week after I show how shoddy there service was on eBay in this video/article. So I got to pull out the "keep it real" card on Auction"BITES" for such a load o’ crap story, this one...

Pin ItRecently I was tapped for a comment on a "speculation" that eBay was doing away with its Voices program. For many years eBay has had a focus group program internally called the Voices of the Community. It is an ancient program created back in the 1990′s so eBay and its seller base could communicate. Most of the members are… how you say this delicately? OLD! Not like Moses old, but kind of just old school LMAO. The story was picked up and put into an Auctionbytes blog and titled "eBay Silences Founding Voices Members". Seems eBay decided to turn over some...
read moreAuctiva Wants To Set The “Record” Straight, But WHY?
Pin It Why in the world do people care what I think? I am not trying to be funny, I am being serious here. I am "just a squirrel trying to get a nut", either that or I am just a NUT, you can take your pick, LMAO So I write a story that gives an example (albeit, a very simple one) that explains what round-tripping means as it relates to eBay Partner Network (ePN). That was a follow-up comment from the Auctiva shift to paid platform story. From that, I got to speak with both InkFrog and Vendio on how they plan to respond. And now Auctiva has contacted your boy to "school me"...

Pin ItOh no, I am about to get in trouble again. You know I just could NOT leave this one alone… OK, the eBay dean of education has a new interview with Ina Steiner on AuctionBytes.com. It is a pretty open discussion on specific on the platform. Nothing earth shattering, but telling none the less. AuctionBytes: When did you start with eBay?

read moreComparing eBay Traffic to Amazon Utopia Bites ?!? WTF?
Pin ItBoth Randy of My Blog Utopia (check out his latest interview with me) and Ina of Auctionbytes, both were featured in my top 5 bloggers for eBay sellers. I was reading them and had things to share about eBay traffic and Amazons. So I added one more traffic report just for the hell of it?!?

Plus I am using my new screen capture tools that you can see my desktop and I will walk you through this as I test my...
