Just wanted to send out a quick note on great piece of software I have come across for the eBay affiliate program.
I’m still testing it, and developing some sites with it, so I’m not going to let you know what it is just yet (you will be able to figure it out if you look hard enough though lol )
I do want to show you a couple of websites I put up online in a matter of 5 minutes each.
http://www.bargainstrollers.com
http://www.bargainbabylots.com
Can you believe those domains were available … I WAS SHOCKED TOO!
Enjoy . . . Scott
I recently came across information by John Thornhill, an eBay Powerseller with more than 10,000 feedback.
John really knows what he’s talking about, and in his eBook he shows you exactly how to create your own digital information “Powerseller” business.
This is the first time I have seen an eBook author spill it all, he even gives you his eBay auction ID, what other seller do you know who’s willing to expose his auctions for your scrutiny? Heck, I’m even reluctant to tell people my eBay ID for fear of competition
With the recent news of Lik-Sang going out of business due to it’s legal battles with Sony, scammers are jumping on the news to try and weasel their way into your account.
Watch out, game importers: a new Paypal scam aims to take advantage of the recent going out of business announcement from Hong Kong-based videogame importer/exporter Lik-Sang.

In some of the research I have been doing in the wholesale lists category on ebay, I came across a seller that I thought was doing a great job. This guy had made nearly $10,000 in a 30 day period selling nothing but digital information.
Well it turns out he was being very deceptive – not in his auctions – but with his feedback.
I managed to buy one of his wholesale lists for only a penny, it took me a while, but I was persistant in my bidding on his new auctions when I was outbid. The list was nothing but a handful of quick links he gathered from a Google search, and then the listings of the IMASD wholesale list emailed to subscribers who sign up for their free list.
This is one of the many auction titles that are consistantly in violation of the eBay “Compilation and Informational Items” policy.
According to the eBay TOS …
Not contain any specific brand names or keywords unless the listing is offering the item in question.
The auctions you are about to see are in violation because they include brand names in the title. I know this first hand, I have had several auctions shut down for this very reason before I finaly got a clear answer from eBay.
According to the T&S employee who called me regarding a different violation (I had some people after my arse) you can mention brand names in your description, but not the title for a wholesale list.

I thought it was about time to create a separate blog outside of my main website “The Powerseller Report“. Doing this will allow me to speak my mind and not worry about being proper and watchful of what I say.
That doesn’t mean I going to be OUT of control, I just never felt like I had the freedom wo speak my mind with TPRweb.com, I have paid members which count on a certain style and often times I felt restricted in how I could write.
This also gives me a shot at writing on any subject, it doesn’t have to always be about eBay and online auctions, although much of what I write about will still include theses areas as they are my online passions.
So please visit often and . . . Enjoy
