EBay Will Rely on ITS selection of new, used and antique items to serve up relavant products, Yankovich said. A 1950s bread container, for example, may suddenly be blackberries alluring if it's in a movie scene.

"The reason we're going to own This is that inventory," he said. "There are not too many places That sell you a brand-new car from a dealer and a classic car from the '30s."

Writing on Reddit, BadgerMatt described how he used what's known as the "glim-dropper" trick to convince a non-paying eBay buyer to cough up with the money:

"I had tickets to a sporting event and couldn't attend. I made a 1-day listing and clearly stated that the tickets must be picked up in person within 24 hours (the game was the evening after the auction ended, so there wasn't any time to ship the tickets). A woman won the auction for about $600. The auction had ended at 10:00am and by 5:00pm she still hadn't responded to my emails trying to organize the exchange. Finally, at 9:30pm, I got a one-liner email: "I overbid and my husband won't let me buy these. Sorry and enjoy the game! :)"

I first tried explaining that I wouldn't have the time to resell the tickets (I already got turned down by the losing bidders). She said, "... that's not my problem. It's eBay, not a car dealership. I can back out if I want." I still don't understand the car dealership reference.

I was pretty upset. I was basically going to be stuck with tickets to an event that I couldn't attend. That's when I got the idea to convince her to change her mind.

I created a new eBay account, "Payback" we'll call it, and sent her a message: "Hi there, I noticed you won an auction for 4 [sporting event] tickets. I meant to bid on these but couldn't get to a computer. I wanted to take my son and dad and would be willing to give you $1,000 for the tickets. I imagine that you've already made plans to attend, but I figured it was worth a shot."

At 11:30pm she responded to Payback: "I'll do it for $1,100, no less. I can meet you at the game if you agree. I need your phone number."

At 11:35pm, Payback wrote: "Deal. Here is my number..." (Thanks Google Voice for the throwaway number). She called a few minutes later and made Payback "promise" to go through with the deal. She emphasized that she'd be out a lot of money if Payback backed out. Payback swore he would never do such a thing.

At 11:45pm, the woman emailed me: "Fine. I'll buy them. But you have to drop them off at my house tonight. I'll have the cash ready." So at fucking midnight I drove to her house across town and met her on the road in front of her apartment building. She was a nasty and rude individual. Things didn't get any better when I told her I wanted an extra $20 for the trouble of driving there at midnight (yeah, pushing my luck, I know). It became very awkward and she literally threw 31 $20 bills at me. I counted them before handing over the tickets. I said, "thanks for the great transaction" as she flipped me off while walking away.

At 10:00am she called Payback to make sure they were still on for the exchange. Payback said that he could no longer go to the game and wouldn't be able to do the exchange. She blew her fucking top and I swear to god started speaking in tongues. Payback said, "Ma'am, this is eBay, not a car dealership" and hung up.
I got a rabid email 10 minutes later telling me that I was going to hell and that she's reported me to the local police, FBI, and... the fire department. WTF?"Read at REDDIT

FIVE GREAT TIPS TO WIN eBay AUCTION EASILY

noreply@blogger.com (master) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:36:00 +0000

Place your bid in last seconds
In the last few seconds of the auction, place a bid that is a dollar or two higher than the current bid. It is usually best to bid in the remaining 10 seconds or so. Be wary that other people could be 'watching' this item as well so try and place a bid at a reasonable price

Place your bid in pennies
Place your bid in odd figures like $11.05 or 200.53In doing so you can easily win by others who place their bids in whole figures by few cents. Thus if you and another bidder bid at just about the same timewith same amount , you have still a chance to beat him with just a couple of pennies.

Add a high bid item in your watchlist
Add high bid item in your watchlist, if its opening bid is too high to justify placing a bid. There is possibility that no body will buy the item. Every so often after the auction ends, double-check the seller’s auctions to see if the seller has re-listed the item with a lower starting bid.

Ask for combine shipping of items.
Combine shipping when possible. When you purchase an item, double-check the seller’s other auctions and see whether you’re interested in making a second purchase. If you see something else that appeals to you, e-mail the seller to see if he will combine the items in shipping. That way you can make two purchases for a smaller single shipping bill.

Never bid early
Never bid early, but if you do, bid high. The only time this bidding early works is if no one else is interested in the auction. Usually, though, the tactic will gear up another eBay user to outbid you because suddenly the item is valuable to at least one person. If you must bid before the auction’s close, bid high.

Try for a Second Chance offer
If you get outbid and miss the chance to increase your bid on an auction item, you’d be smart to e-mail the seller and ask if he or she has any more. You may get lucky, and the seller can send you a Second Chance offer for your high bid. A seller may send a Second Chance offer to any bidder who isn’t the winning bidder under two circumstances:
• The winner does not go through with the winning bid.
• The seller has more than one of the item that was sold.

How to Avoid Getting Scammed on eBay

noreply@blogger.com (master) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 15:20:00 +0000

from wikiHow

eBay was rated by The Observer as the #1 website that changed the internet and is used by over 168 million users. It is a utopia for used goods, but it is also a nesting ground for ill-intentioned scammers. Being scammed (paying for an item but not receiving it, or buying a damaged item, or reciving a counterfeit product) is a very rare circumstance that is generally easy to avoid.

Steps

The first step is to check the user's feedback. It can be found on the right side of the screen. This tells you how many items the user has sold, and what percentage of users were pleased with their service. It is recommended that you only buy from users with a percentage of 95 or greater.
Then, if the user has negative feedback, click "Read Feedback Comments" to see what the issue was. Normally the problem is something along the lines of "Arrived Late" or if there is a serious problem, you can read the seller's explanation of the issue.
Next, you should check how many items the user has sold, if the user had just created an account, sold one item, and has 100% feedback, it isn't saying much.
- The number next to the seller name is how many items they have sold and bought, and the symbols next to the number represent the titles the seller have. If a user is a power seller, they are a trusted member of the eBay community, and you can expect excellent service from them.
Next, you should check what methods of payment that the user accepts. If the user only accepts cash or money orders, then you should be slightly suspicious. The safest method is PayPal. It draws money from your bank account and puts it into the seller's. If you are scammed, you will be refunded (partially) by PayPal. The best part, is that the seller gets none of your personal information.
All the previous steps are to protect yourself from not receiving the item. Another way you can be taken advantage of is by being sold a damaged item. The best way to avoid this is to pay attention.
- Read all of the descriptions, especially the fine print. If the condition of the item is stated correctly in the description, you cannot receive a refund.
- Look at all of the pictures. What may look like a reflection could actually be a large scratch.
If you do receive an item that was inaccurately portrayed, you should contact the seller, demand a refund, and send the item back.
If, despite all of these steps, you are still scammed, or the seller refuses to refund you, then fill out an eBay fraud report, you will either get your refund and return the item, or if you never received the item you will not get all of your money back, but you will get a percentage, and the seller's account will be shut down.

Tips

Often times just sending the seller an email will help to resolve the problem. It may just be a misunderstanding. Also, in your "My eBay" there is a message center that eBay members can use to message each other. If you have not heard from your seller via e-mail, you may want to check your My eBay Inbox.
Read all of the descriptions. If you skip over an important fact about the condition of the item, it's your problem.
Many times the items on eBay look prettier than they do in reality. This isn't trick photography, but rather just 'good' photography. Take any old item, place it on a decorative 'set' and shine some bright lights on it and it will look good.
Worst case scenario if you have the fraudulent seller's information, placing a call to the seller's local police department and explaining the situation will generally compel an officer to go out and investigate what occurred and see if a crime has been committed. [This works best in smaller cities.] Many times just the visit of a police officer inquiring as to what might have happened will help a fraudulent seller want to try and rectify the situation.
If you are not in possession of the fraudulent seller's address or real name, but you know their phone number, there are numerous websites that can help you find out who owns a phone number. (Example: http://www.phonesearchcentral.com/ or http://www.tracing-america.com/)
If you are in possession of the seller's real name and know what city they live in, a free public records search with a website like http://www.zabasearch.com/ will often times find their home address.
Use a service like http://www.auctionerrol.com/ to check the listing for fraud.

Warnings

Is the deal you just found "Too good to be true"? It might be, sometimes the deal is too good, and is likely to be a scam.
If possible, try to see what the other items the person sold up to that point have been. Sometimes people sell very small, cheap items in "penny auctions" to get high sales figures, high approval ratings and feedback. Then they start to sell high ticket items when their trust has been falsely pumped up.
Watch out for high shipping prices. You may be saving on the item, but paying a small fortune for shipping.
Pay close attention as to where your item ships from. If you see inexpensive designer goods being shipped by a seller from (for example) Hong Kong, you'd be right to question the items authenticity. (ie: Fake Designer Goods)
Be very careful if you are selling an item and the winning bidder wants to mail you a money order for more then the item sold for, and then have you cash it and mail back the difference. This is a well known scam where a buyer will purchase an item and mail you a fake money order, (usually from overseas.) Then when you take the money order to the bank you may end up being arrested for trying to cash a fake money order!
Sellers should also be very wary of anyone who buys their item and then requests that it be mailed overseas. ("I am on a business trip in Nigeria and need the item shipped to me here" is a common ploy)
Sellers should exercise caution selling high dollar items on ebay: The higher the dollar value of your auction the more likely you are to have fraudulent ebayers bidding on your item.

HOW TO INCREASE YOUR WEBSITE TRAFFIC

noreply@blogger.com (master) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:39:00 +0000

TEN GREAT WAYS TO BOOST UP YOUR WEBSITE TRAFFIC

Improving Web site traffic is a tricky business. You can take advantage of quite a few different strategies. Many won’t cost you much whereas some won’t even cost you a dime. Find the right balance of strategies to draw people to your Web site.

Strong & Quality Content

People are usually online because they’re looking for something relationships, information, products, or services. All these are provided in the form of content. If you don’t have content with that kind of stickiness, people may move away and do not notice your website. The first thing you should do to improve your Web site is to create quality content that will be the reason for people to stay on your website.

Referral Programs

Referral programs have a different sides. One way is to put referral buttons on your Web site. Other side is you can also create your own referral program for your website. This can be done by paying to those who refer your website to others. Some referral programs promise a flat fee for any referral that results in a purchase.

Some websites provide paid referral services . For example, ReferralBlast (www.referralblast.com) is an easy to use program that offers four different levels of referral programs — from a basic program to a highly customized program — that range from $99 per year to $999 per year

Building Links

This involves building links with other websites. One way is to contact the owners of Web sites that you like and ask them for a reciprocal link. Reciprocal links are when you put a link to that site on your page in exchange for a link back to your Web site. This very common on the Web. Second way to get people to link to you is to offer something completely unique on your Web site. For some, that means adding a special download to the site that’s not available anywhere; for others, it means adding videos, podcasts, or some other element that’s completely unique provided only by your website.

HOW TO INCREASE YOUR BLOG VISIBILITY

noreply@blogger.com (master) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:28:00 +0000

Four impotartant tips to increase your blog visibility

For several years, an Internet marketing field called search engine optimization has been growing in influence. Abbreviated as SEO, search engine optimization involves writing and design skills that make a Web site (blog or nonblog) higher in search results of Search engines (such as Google, Yahoo!, or MSN Search).They look for certain qualities and site characteristics, and use these cues to determine how good a site is, how closely it matches a searcher’s keywords, and how it should appear on a result page for those keywords.

Keep your pages short

Because blogs tend to feature short bursts of content, with each entry on its own page, they are optimized for optimization, so to speak. Blogs are perfect for SEO because one of the most important optimization principles is to keep your pages short and highly topical.

Keep your pages on-topic

It is important to stay on-topic with each entry. Posting a long entry and broadened page focus dulls its optimization. Naturally, you want to feel free to write naturally in your blog. Optimization principles shouldn’t inhibit your style. But for the most part, good optimization is good for your visitors, not just good for your traffic. People don’t have a lot of time, and they like to land on Web pages that are clearly about one thing. That goes for blog entry pages as much as for any other type of page.

Be mindful of keywords

Search engines match Web pages to keywords people search for. If you want better visibility in search engines, use the keywords you think your readers would be searching with. Don’t use them arbitrarily or indiscriminately;doing so is called keyword stuffing or keyword spam and is easily detected by search engines. Sites are penalized in search listings for trying to game the system. The trick here is to write your entries to the point, so that they are clearly topical to your readers and to the search engines.

Make your entry titles count

It is amazing how many entry titles have nothing to do with the entry. This point is an optimization downfall for many bloggers. A scathing criticism of a public figure might be titled “It’s an outrage!” and never mention the public figure’s name.Blogs are famously informal and personal, but you miss an important chance to optimize your entry pages by not putting key topical words in your titles. And your readers might thank you for being clearer in your headings, too.

HOW TO AVOID SCAMMING WHEN BUYING ON eBay

HOW TO AVOID SCAMMING WHEN BUYING ON eBay

noreply@blogger.com (master) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:53:00 +0000

Five important tips for buying on eBay

Online auctions and business like eBay can be a great way to buy products, but they can also be very risky. You can shop conveniently from your home or office any time day or night. There's a huge selection, and though the selection is skewed toward the bargain priced and aimed at bargain hunters. But you can easily get scammed, particularly for any item that can be counterfeited. These important points should always be kept in mind whenever you go to shop online or bid on products on eBay or any other online auction or shopping site.

FEEDBACK

One protection against eBay fraud is "feedback" -- a way for participants in a transaction to rate one another and for others to see those ratings. A large percentage of negative feedbacks is a clear signal to stay away from a particular seller. Even if there is 2% negative feedback then read it carefully before buying.

You can discount negatives when they appear to be unreasonable. A negative feedback appears to be positive as buyer wrongfully commented in negative feedback box instead of positive. ;

Don’t buy expensive item from a seller with few feedbacks. It's too easy for a scammer to create new eBay IDs.

PRICING

Search and compare price of similar items on internet and through other resources you want to buy on eBay. Beware If there is big difference between prices. This may indicate that the item is not original or branded or there is something wrong with the item. Always ask the seller for such difference or obtain maximum guarantee and insurance from the seller. Always be aware of “Too good to be true to buy it” prices.

PAYMENT METHODS

A large amount of frauds happen there. Don’t ever use Western Union, Money Gram and other money transfers as a payment method .There is no security in this, no matter what the seller says.

PayPal: Use PayPal only for small transaction. They instantly transfer the money into the seller's checking account. Once the scammer seller gets the money, the scammers close the checking account, so PayPal could not get the money back even if they claim Buyer’s protection.

Direct banking transactions: There is also great risk involves in direct bank transactions especially if seller has little or no history as a seller on online auction site.

The best method for wire funds is to use an escrow service, such as Escrow.com. The way it works is that upon the completion of the auction, the buyer sends payment to the escrow service. When this payment clears, the escrow service notifies the seller to ship the product. When the buyer receives product and notifies the escrow service that it is as it was described, the escrow service forwards the buyer's payment to the seller. In this way both Buyer and seller prevents from payment frauds from either side.

Credit cards and online payment services (they often accept credit card payments) are safest. Other options include debit cards, personal checks, cashier’s checks and money orders.

GUARANTEES

Always refuse to buy any product through online auctions in which the seller doesn't offer the option of returning it if you're not happy with it. If the seller doesn't specify a return policy, email him and ask.

Don’t buy from sellers who claim they're liquidating estates and that therefore all sales are final. They may not accept returns. When you are buying expensive products ask seller for insurance of the product if seller doesn’t offer it.

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

If you want to receive your product safely and in a timely fashion, read carefully for the seller's location (shown near the top of the item listing under "Item location"). Also call the seller to see if the phone number is correct and working. Send them e-mail to see if they have an active e-mail address. Be cautious of sellers who use free e-mail services where a credit card wasn’t required to open the account.

Shipping method(s) offered are shown near the bottom of the listing under "Shipping, payment details and return policy". Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside your own country. Remember the laws of different countries might pose issues if a problem arises with your transaction.

Beware of scam involving shipping is the creation of fake shipping sites, such as KLM Express and Prompt Express. Scammers have used these sites to "prove" that they sent the item and that you can send them payment for it. After they receive your payment, the sites disappear along with your money.

Buyers in the United States should prefer the United States Postal Service over UPS or FedEx if they have an APO, FPO, or PO Box address.;

Sellers sometimes charge artificially high shipping and handling fees for low price items. Be sure you know what the charges will be before bidding or buying -- if the charges aren't specified, ask the seller.

“ ~ ” give most relevant terms, synonyms or antonyms
