This is Chung Meng Cheong, from the eBay Express business team. I see you've discovered the preview Lots of great discussion and questions.

The team has been busy rolling out the site, but we like to spend some time later today answering your questions.

Here is another thing about it.

They want you to Register?

By clicking "Register" you agree to eBay Express's privacy policy and terms of use. You also agree to be contacted for marketing purposes, but you can change your notification preferences in your account.

WTF. I thought they were trying to make it easier for buyers.

These morons.
When will they realize people don't WANT TO Register just to buy
something on the net? After all I thought that was the whole idea.
To make it easy for non ebayers to buy. 

Seems to me another way for them to boost registration numbers
and sell information to third parties.

I'm so glad I have a website where people can just buy away and not play little games.

Quality Guidelines - Specific recommendations:

    * Avoid hidden text or hidden links.
    * Don't employ cloaking or sneaky redirects.
    * Don't send automated queries to Google.
    * Don't load pages with irrelevant words.
    * Don't create pages that install viruses, trojans, or other badware.
    * Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
    * Avoid "doorway" pages created just for search engines, or other "cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.

Is Google going to blacklist eBay from its search index for violating its duplicate content policy?

Well, isn't that kind of what happened already, when the .com stores disappeared from the face of Google for a while?

I only remember when they disappeared from the face of Ebay.

My stuff still isn't showing up.

I'd opt out, but there hardly seems a point.

Well, it's not good to link to blacklisted material on your site you know

They should.  One of the main reasons eBay is doing it (opening Express) is to SPAM increase its visibility in the search engines.  If I put 2 stores with duplicate content on the same domain I'm sure i'd be banned.

Why do they all say "This is Boinkface" instead of "I'm Boinkface"???

Hi xxx,

Oh, good point. I was posting in a few other places to tell them about this thread and forgot to take it out of this one.

I'm kinda cute though, even for a guy

I learned a lot from those first 3 pink responses!  :

Both Pinks seemed to be repeating the same canned crap they said in January...especially when any question came up about PayPal's SPP

Why do they all say "This is Boinkface" instead of "I'm Boinkface"

Think Les Nessman from WKRP...  They probably say it in a nice booming voice when typing cutting and pasting their drivel, to make themselves feel big

An exciting new way to shop.
Get it brand new.
Drop it in your cart.
One quick checkout.

Exciting? New way to shop? Hardly a new way or exciting.
