New eBay Auction Tool: Add A Map to Your Listing
MyStoreMap  Yuk new product from MyStoreCredit

description: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?So...sDirectory&page=details&solutionId=43

auction with live map: http://cgi.ebay.com/MyStoreMap-Customer-...59786807QQ

Quote: All over the world, people love maps! Take advantage of this natural human curiosity and add your own customer map to your eBay listings. Your customer map is just like a map you might hang on your office wall with stick-pins showing where your customers are  but this map goes right in your eBay listing.

Buyers can click on your customer map to see your count of shipments to each geography. To see a sample listing with our map service, type in "MyStoreMap"  Yuk in the search box at the top right of this page.

Your customer map will increase your sales because your buyers will feel more confident buying from a seller with customers all over the country and around the globe.

About 1 in 10 eBay buyers purchase from a seller in a different country. Look at your current listings and ask yourself: Are you ignoring 10% of all eBay buyers by not selling directly to them?

Your customer map will be a powerful and graphical way for you to show that you welcome international sales and that you have successfully shipped to many points worldwide. Bottom line benefit: Include your customer map in your listings and more eBay buyers will buy from you. We guarantee it!

Yuk

Re: New eBay Auction Tool: Add A Map to Your Listing
How dumb.

Gee, and what's the current banner ad I see at the top of TulipTools right now...?  Yup, a nice big banner telling me to add maps to my eBay listings.

Dorks.

Strange because they've got it linked to the eBay solutions directory URL and not their own, it seems..  Smileyyellowbang

I think the maps are pointless--kind of like adding falling snowflakes to your listings. The included gallery feature needs work too.  I'd call this a seller's toy not a seller's tool.

I'd feel more confident that the seller was a Boinktard if they put a map in their listing.

Re: New eBay Auction Tool: Add A Map to Your Listing
They have a few live auction links listed on their web site info page (http://www.mystorecredit.com/services/mapservice.php)

Download speeds for a couple of  auctions using their map:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7382187498
Page Size 443K
Download Times*
Connection Rate Download Time

28.8K 171.92 seconds
33.6K 147.36 seconds
56K 88.41 seconds
ISDN 128K 27.08 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 2.35 seconds

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8373261095
Page Size 376K
14.4K  291.23 seconds
28.8K 145.61 seconds
33.6K 124.81 seconds
56K 74.89 seconds
ISDN 128K 22.93 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 1.99 seconds


OK, granted the large page sizes of these listings weren't entirely due to the maps.  The sellers also had other page slowing things like Vendio Gallery, etc., but what potential buyer on dialup (as I was for 12 hours today when my cable modem went down...again) is going to sit and wait for the page to load?

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
