Re: Move over Bidville, 9.6 Mill of Online Auctions 10 Mill Items are Trading Cards
Auctionbytes has 2 articles on OLA:
Quote:The tough part for the OnlineAuction crew is going to be delivering enough buying traffic to tempt established eBay sellers away from the security of the auction giant. While I found tons of items listed, it's much harder finding listings with bids. As one PowerSeller put it, "It's all about name recognition. There's eBay and then there are all of the nameless others. Everyone knows what eBay is. Very few people could even name another auction site."... full article: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abu/y208...bu0211/s02 Quote:Currently, Fain operates OnlineAuction.com, which has about 50,000 users - a dramatic jump from last year's membership figure of 16,000. Fain boasts proudly that the site is growing rapidly and is now turning a profit. full article: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abu/y208...bu0211/s03 |

Update:
Quote:Auctionbytes has 2 articles on OLA: Surprise, surprise, OLA is an Auctionbytes advertiser. :  Does anyone remember the multiple articles Auctionbytes wrote praising their advertiser WhaBam! -a now defunct auction site that held the world's record for lowest sell through rate in history? Journalistic integrity at its finest  arcasm1:

OLA's owner dreams of charging buyers $8 monthly to use the site.
 Quote:Online Auction.com CEO Chris Fain, during a live Internet Radio show presented by ECMRN (e-commerce Marketing Radio Network) , detailed a plan to charge buyers $8.00 a month subscription for access to buy from the auction venue in the future. (He did clearly state this plan would not be implemented anytime soon, but from the excitement in his voice when describing the subscription based buyer access, it sounds like more than a passing idea). full article: http://allbusinessauctions.wordpress.com...0-a-month/ |

Desperate for paying members, OnlineAuction.com spams the entire world
OnlineAuction.com is apparently desperate for paying members and has resorted to spamming the entire world, repeatedly, several times a day.
Quote:Received: from mail.onlineauctionnotice.com (mail.film11.net [67.201.12.100]) Quote: "OnlineAuction.com" <noreply@onlineauctionnotice.com> The WHOIS for onlineauctionnotice.com gives the contact as fainandco@hotmail.com and the WHOIS for onlineauction.com lists the contact as chris@chrisfain.com You can contact the registrar GoDaddy and report that the domain onlineauctionnotice.com has incorrect contact info in violation of ICANN rules. The registrant is listed as "self" and the fax number given for the domain (which is also the fax number given on onlineauction.com's WHOIS) has been disconnected. GoDaddy's complaint form to report incorrect contact info can be found at: http://who.godaddy.com/ReportInvalidWhois.aspx?k=Z51cX45fZpyeFQfFh6KRZLi7P78XuZQ1&domain=onlineauctionnotice.com&prog_id=godaddy GoDaddy's SPAM complaint form is at http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/spamreport...sp?ci=9077 (mention that the domain is registered through GoDaddy) Onlineauction.com is registered through Network Solutions and SPAM complaints about the domain may be forwarded to reportspam@networksolutions.com SPAM complaints may also be filed with the data center Mzima which owns the IP (67.201.12.100) OnlineAuction is using to send the SPAM from.

Re: Move over Bidville, 9.6 Mill of Online Auctions 10 Mill Items are Trading Cards
Was the email address registered at OLA? If so, it may not be spam depending on the site's TOS. Remember the Ray Romeo method of telling you in the middle of a bunch of useless info that he may sell your private information to third parties at any time.
"Listen up Mother****er. Try that bulls*** here and I will hand you and your head in a basket"
- Ray Romeo's alter ego Andrew Pittino responding when I signed up a new account on Wagglepop to verify the non-existence of a way to opt out of his sharing my information with third parties. |

Re: Move over Bidville, 9.6 Mill of Online Auctions 10 Mill Items are Trading Ca
Yup. It's registered to OLA. You don't receive the mail directly, you receive a notification to your e-mail that you have "o-mail" on their internal system.
Getting a goodly portion of your membership to the site to login several times plus a bunch of page loads digging around the seriously crappy navigation to turn the alerts off might provide more smoke and mirrors for the show...they'll prolly be bragging about traffic increases next month as a means to validate the sales stats plugged into the in the pie-in-the-sky chart from this month. SuperOLAman. Now that's a visual I didn't need to start the day off with  |
