Posted in eBay, tagged on April 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »

As reported by Ina Steiner of Auction Bytes, eBay gets tough on sellers.
eBay shifted their focus from sellers to buyers last year when they dramatically increased the affiliate payouts while funding it with increased seller fees.
It’s the right move for eBay. If eBay has solid buyer traffic, there will always be sellers jumping at the [...]

Posted in eBay pulse, tagged , on April 23, 2008 | 41 Comments »

There is one missing piece in the puzzle. He says that you can add watchers to a scheduled listing. But why [...]

Then and Now on the eBay Pulse

Posted in eBay pulse, tagged , on April 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »

A few months ago we had 5 Pulsers with tens of thousands of watchers.  http://watcheditem.com/2008/01/28/two-new-scripting-ebay-pulsers/
Now, only jjfjq is the top Pulser with little competition. http://www.esellerstreet.com/search.php5?catID=99 There is another Pulser called make.your.cash.stack out of Arizona.  I think this could be a second account by the.rich.boy. 
Kekoa64 and the.rich.boy have zero listings.

Amazon now allows businesses to “rent” computing [...]

Sizing the “Make Money” eBook market on eBay

Posted in eBay pulse, tagged , on April 14, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Let’s estimate the amount of eBay sales of eBooks about making money. Sellers strive to differentiate their products by using different keywords and categories. So the best approach is to research the big sellers and multiply by a fudge factor to account for the small sellers. Let’s call the fudge factor 2.
I’ll start with Kekoa64. He sold $7.5K [...]
