The eBay to go widgets were not very user friendly when first announced late in 2007. Now it seems the entire interface has improved. Using these widgets to promote eBay items on your blogs or websites can only help on eBay sales. And if you become a part of the eBay partner network, driving traffic to your own listings or (anyone else's) can pay you back handsomely!
This is an example of an eBay Partner Network - eBay To Go widget... Get one for your website!

iBusinessLogic.com can help you set up your eBay partner network affiliate strategy. If you do not have a website or blog outside of eBay, you should get one!

Packaging and shipping is one of the most time and expense oriented parts of the eBay seller experience. Finding the right deals on packaging materials and making sure the goods an eBay seller ships to a buyer, survivesduring its journey, across town or across continents in one piece, is becoming more and more important with each new emphasis on the shipping aspect of the eBay buyer experience.

When a recent press release came to my office from Mini PAK'R , I started to think about the changes which have come to all of us at eBay in the last several years. In 2006 I went to eBay live in Las Vegas and one of the items I was looking for was a way to use Air Speed bags in my shipping department. Just two short years ago there was only one vendor on the solutions floor offering Air Speed bag equipment.

The sole vendor of Air Packaging equipment at eBay Live would not even speak with me about the equipment because it seemed he did not think his company should have sent him to an eBay convention, eBay people had no real money to buy his nifty equipment... Bad attitudes get you nowhere, especially when offering merchandise for sale.

It is certainly good to see now in 2008 a vendor will be coming to eBay live with a Air Bag packaging machine which is affordable and compact in size. I know I will be checking out the Mini PAK'R at eBay Live 2008 next week in Chicago...

WITH NEW MINI PAK’R™ AIR CUSHION MACHINE eBAY SELLERS AND OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS CAN MAKE THEIR OWN PACKAGING MATERIALS

The new desktop-sized MINI PAK’R™ air cushion machine from packaging industry leader FP International is revolutionizing the packaging preferences of eBAY sellers and other online retailers. With the versatile MINI PAK”R, users can make six different air cushions on-demand for superior protection of almost any product during shipping. The smart, versatile machine is being demonstrated at eBay Live! at Booth # 1123.
eBay seller Anita Leather says the MINI PAK’R helped to eliminate clutter in her packing room. “I bought the MINI PAK’R because the rolls of bubble wrap and bins of peanuts were taking up too much room. The MINI PAK’R saves space and is very convenient.”
The MINI PAK’R is a must-have office product for those who ship packages on a regular basis and have limited storage space. Its small size and easy operation make it ideal for a wide range of packaging scenarios. The size of a desktop printer or fax machine, the MINI PAK’R can easily sit on a tabletop or be mounted on a wall. Plus, the air cushions it makes are environmentally friendly, and can be reused or recycled.
According to FP International's MINI PAK'R product manager Stephen Mohr, the MINI PAK'R air cushion machine, with its superior bubble and multiple cushion options, is the only one of its type on the market. "The MINI PAK'R provides the Internet retailer the ability to make superior-strength packaging as needed. Until now, only large retail and industrial shippers with access to industrial air cushion machines had these capabilities."
The MINI PAK'R, which sells for $1,799 plus S&H, can be purchased online at http://www.minipakr.com or by calling 1-888-MINIPKR (1-888-646-4757).

We asked our design team at iBusinessLogic to create this five star service eBay customer service for our own eBay Store because rather than plant negative ideas or images in our customers minds about feedback on eBay, we would rather have them thinking about the 5 Star DSR ratings we hope to earn on each and every transaction.

As a service to our clients and our readers we would like to offer this logo to eqach and every one who sells on eBay for your use under a creative commons license. This means you can use it, as long as you refer back to us when asked where you the logo came from. The logo is hosted on our Flickr account and the code is available there, but we will paste the actual code in a box below.

Please use this free 5 Star eBay customer service logo for all of your listings! (remember - you will have to remove any links from your eBay listings before the end of next month).

Consignment Pal Launches New Directory of Resale Businesses

Making it easier than ever to buy, sell, consign, or donate items.

Marketing your resale business just got easier with the launch of a new online nationwide directory of all types of resale stores. Create a free customized business profile and reach a wider audience today!

SAN ANTONIO, TX May 28, 2008 -- Today Consignment Pal (CP) released a new online national business directory of consignment stores, resale stores, antique stores, eBay Trading Assistants, eBay drop off stores, art galleries, business liquidators, non profit stores, and e-commerce websites at www.consignmentpal.com. The Consignment Pal Directory features specialized search options by business name, state, zip code, and distance.

The new CP Directory affords both business owners and resale buyers and sellers unparalleled convenience as compared to existing resale directories. Business owners enjoy a personal profile in which they can list their specialties, upload images, post articles, link to their website, and much more. For instance, Consignment Pal founder Linda Miller says, “I’m excited about our new feature that allows eBay sellers to showcase five active eBay listings on their profiles.” All business profiles include an interactive map to easily locate businesses. Additionally, CP works to protect business owners from email spam. Users can email business owners directly from the business profiles with the click of an icon, which in conjunction with a security code, ensures that business owners only receive emails from legitimate customers.

"Learn to bear bravely changes of fortune".

It looks to me like further signs of the "Amazonation" of eBay.

Higher closing fees for items posted in a shopping format at lower listing fees driven by DSR performance. The happier the customers the more exposure you get and the more increased FVF eBay will reap.

I think eBay is also attracted to the way Amazon reigns supreme over their sellers and has a "at our pleasure" attitude about if you sell there or not. This is a reversal of the last 5 or 6 years of eBay's campaign tactic of driving sellers to the platform, they took the buyer for granted and focused their marketing on "you to can make a living on eBay, everyone is welcome come sell here". They were at trade shows and any event that had a large group of potential sellers pounding this message. Well look what they got, an unscrupulous unmanaged International den of thieves destroying their name and platform while we the sellers that made them who they are (and many who left along the way) took the brunt of the problem.

At the same time Amazon took another approach, the opposite approach, customer's are gold and sellers offer goods here at our pleasure in a very regulated system. They pay little upfront and share a bigger piece on the back end and they will make buyers happy or they will be gone and no unhappy buyer will be left in the lurch, you will resolve. This is not the "we're the asphalt at the swap meet and you buy and sell to each other and work it out if you're screw each other" kind of a strategy.

Guess where I shop?

eBay knows whats wrong and they are desperately trying to fix and create a format buyers can use. I think I understand the strategy and direction of this new plan. To little to late? Executed ineffectively?

I have my concerns.
