ChannelAdvisor received $30M in May, 2007. Now they just got an additional $20M in funding.
Their cash burn rate is around $2M per month. Wheee! That would be fun.
That makes me think, what’s better: a small lifestyle business or a high risk, high reward funded business? [...]

Here’s a listing from eBay seller berkshire*lane. I think the WatchedItem.com seller profile banner coordinates very well with the template.
Seller Profile banner by WatchedItem.com.
Here’s Jake from WatchCount.com.

David, if you happen to read this, I like your watcher counter!

I went through self-checkout at the grocery store yesterday with a $13 purchase and requested $50 cashback. I only got $25.
Incensed at the error, I called to the attendant. The attendant is a lovely African-American woman with her hair done up to there and her fingernails polished.
I say, “I pushed [...]
Fresh Air

Working while camping is where it’s at. Today, I’m at the 2nd Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Campground of the season. This time we’re in Caledonia, Wisconsin.
Jellystone offers free WiFi and I haven’t seen the kids in hours.
There is a clicking noise in the branches above my head. I wonder if it’s some kind [...]

The great thing about eBay is that there are interesting tactics to be studied and written about everyday.
eBay’s Trust & Safety is working in overdrive this year, NARUing sellers right and left. Like this one I meant to write about for the 6 weeks. But it was “removed” from eBay before [...]
eBay 2008 and beyond. Chris Isaak is 52?
Posted in Quality of Life, eBay, tagged eBay, ebaylive2008 on June 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
eBay Live! 2008 concluded on Saturday. A few exhibitors caught my eye:
Kijiji.com (owned by eBay) which offers free classified ads. They connect buyers and sellers, then get out of the loop.
Auctiva free seller tools. They are the 800 pound gorilla in the listing tool space just by the sheer number of [...]
blog troll service
Posted in Quality of Life, tagged blog troll on May 7, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I got a new stalker who spews hate towards me yet obsessively visited this blog 55 times in the past day and a half. You don’t have to do much to pick one up, as the Pulsers know.
This is clearly a Blog Troll. I came across this blogging service - you [...]
Add website features with contract developers

When I had the idea for eSeller Street 3 years ago, I looked to friends to help with development. Well, it turns out that model doesn’t work. I went through 7 friendships. Nice track record, eh?
Then I picked up the PHP development myself for the next couple of years. It was [...]
Cool Color Picker
Posted in Quality of Life, tagged color picker on February 28, 2008 | No Comments »
I’ve been busy working on a new user interface on my eBay banner maker site. There are a lot of color pickers out there, but Farbtastic is exceptionally nice looking, easy to use and fully functional. I just hope we can put it in a popup without any problems.
You gotta love people who [...]
Google Street View

My mom and I went to Chinatown in Chicago yesterday. It was a belated Chinese New Year / Valentines occasion. I googled the Double Li restaurant at 228 W Cermak and to my surprise I saw -> the Google Street View for Chicago!
Street View is available wherever you see blue outlines on the street map. It’s great [...]
Fanmail - Mean people suck!

I get email.
Sometimes I get, “I disagree with your point” or “Did you know there’s a problem with your site?” (Thanks very nice person, Jake!) Unfortunately, this is not one of them.
StalkerJones is a mean one. He/she writes (and by the way, I’m MW):
MW’s Business model: Ambulance chase, scam people by writing [...]
