The Professional eBay Sellers Alliance (PESA), a trade association of top eBay sellers and online merchants, will host its third summit in Atlanta next week on March 19 and 20. Representatives from third-party vendors and online marketplaces, including eBay, Amazon, Overstock, Yahoo and Bizrate, will be on hand as speakers and to interact with PESA members.

The PESA Spring 2005 Summit is being sponsored by Ethical Technologies. Summit organizers are expecting a record attendance, with registration already three times that of the previous summit held in Las Vegas last October.

PESA officials said they plan to announce a number of new partnerships and benefits at the Atlanta summit. Attendance at the summit is by invitation only to PESA members and summit sponsors. PESA founder and chairman Joe Cortese and executive director Jonathan Garriss will launch the proceedings by reflecting on the organization's achievements to date and sharing their visions for its future.

The organization says it currently represents nearly $1 billion dollar in annual sales and has over 700 members.
