Does anyone know what amount of Kool-Aid a person has to consume before they are above the legal limit?

It depends.  Sugar-free is far more toxic  :twistedevil:

copying and pasting my post from the ebay boards (I can put the copy/paste down on my resume if I ever apply for a job at eBay Smile )

Expanding on Marty's idea and borrowing his logic, since we are all online sellers, it is also true that anything we can do to get people to STAY on the Internet and shop around to do their shopping instead of doing their buying offline in a B&M store will benefit ALL online sellers and the increase in overall ecommerce sales will have a trickle down effect that will benefit all online venues including the very fast growing eBay.

Remember, as Marty said, "Its not always about one place when it comes to traffic building"! We must all do our part to help build traffic to ecommerce sites so that both sellers and eBay can benefit from the overall expansion of online commerce sales.

As sellers we should do our bit to help keep buyers on the Internet--which will help both ourselves and ultimately eBay. You can do your part to indirectly help eBay by actively working to increase online sales: include links to your off eBay web sites in all invoices and on your about me pages, start a blog to spread the word about the wonders of buying online at your web site.

Remember, if online ecommerce sales grow it benefits you and eBay will also indirectly benefit from the expansion of online sales as more buyers are drawn online. So get to work on those web sites!

Re: eBay to Add Links to Your Competitor's Similar Items to Some Item Pages
THIS IS WHAT EBAY DOES NOT LIKE AND FEARS THE MOST.
Including links to your off eBay web sites in all invoices and on your about me pages.
This is what I see most doing already and it has been working.

===========

The whole blog thing still don't register to me but I guess it can be a way
to spread the word about the wonders of buying online at our web sites.

============

What ebay fails to recognize anymore is that the Community Boards
are the pulse of the entire site. It is a good sampling of the overall sediment
of how their customers feel on any given issue or feature.

We all realize that a good portion of people don't go to the boards and post but
I bet BIG $$$ that many lurk and gleam more information and formulate their
strategies and opinions based on what they do see posted.

ebay didn't set those boards up and PAY another company to operate them
out of the kindness of their hearts.

They did it for a reason and that reason was to gauge a good sampling
of the overall sediment of how their customers feel on any given issue or feature.
The boards are their most cost effective way to poll it's customers.

With that said I know they have the ability to look at the IP's and see who is who and who is posting under 6  ID's and acting like they are all different individuals.

Hell they have people doing that too. PROMOTING features and downplaying issues.

They must also be able to see that the majority are NOT "rabble rousers"
and are in fact genuine users with genuine concerns.

========

The way I see it ebay will continue on this path.

GREED has overtaken logic and common sense.

FEAR of loosing even more market share has caused knee jerk reactions
with overall poor marketing decisions and poor responses to the mammoth
amount of problems that ebay faces today.

This has and will continue to erode it's core base and eventually lead
to the opposite desired effect for them.

So be it.. Because as their doors keep closing... Others keep opening up.

You mean knee-jerk reactions like eBay China saying in October that "free is not a business model" and then less than 3 months later dropping fees and making free their business model in China.  Laughing7

So, BBH, by your response to Marty should we take this to mean that you *aren't* going to be putting your widgets back in your eBay store where they can compete with the widgets on your website,  where, BEST case, once someone clicks on your eBay widget, you get to pay 8% FVF and WORST case, once someone clicks on your eBay widget, they click the link at the top and someone else gets to pay 8% FVFs?

I won't be opting into Express, but I'll probably keep the ebay store to steal eBay's customers (as Meg likes to call them). My web site always appears before any ebay items in search results.

---------------
I'm also keeping this secret hidden store I just discovered in Google today.  Onsale apparently never deleted their auction site or stores when they closed them   :blinkie:
