A Chance to Be Heard: Yellow Pages Rating & Review

Reading AuctionBytes: A Chance to Be Heard: Yellow Pages Rating & Review

Now you can praise your favorite auction software, criticize an online payment service, and share your opinions and experiences! We have added a Rating and Review feature to the AuctionBytes Yellow Pages.

Before you buy an auction product or service, see what others think about it! Companies can be rated from 1 to 5 stars (5 being best), and a review of the service can be posted.

The company reviewed will receive a copy of the review and will have a chance to reply! This will help them keep touch with their users and may even prompt them to make positive changes if warranted. The companies that we have spoken to are interested to hear what their customers are thinking.

When leaving a review, please be honest in your assessment of the product, just as you would leave honest feedback for a buyer or seller on eBay. We also urge you to be constructive in your comments. If you like a service let others know why you were happy with it and what features you particularly liked. If you feel that a product wasn't up to your expectations, leave a review telling people why you were unsatisfied. We feel that in a short time, this section will give you a great sense of what services your peers are using and why they're using them.

We are building the AuctionBytes Yellow Pages to be an area where online auction users can find everything that they need to buy and sell online. Categories include auction sites, appraisal services and auction management software; and stores that sell supplies for the collector, such as comic book sleeves, coin supplies and bubble wrap. You can browse the Yellow Pages by category or search by product name.

We also have online coupon technology that allows companies to advertise special offers and discounts for users. (Note that auction companies receive a free Yellow Pages listing that includes company name, URL and email address. They may choose to upgrade for a small annual fee in order to describe their offerings and take advantage of the coupon technology.)

We've tried to make the Yellow Pages as user friendly as possible. Registration is not required to use the Yellow Pages, but if you want to leave a rating or review, simply choose a username and password and register. Your username will be included next to reviews that you leave.

We're very excited about the Yellow Pages and want you to enjoy it and utilize it. We also welcome your feedback about it. If there are listings or categories that we have missed, let us know! If you have questions or comments, email them to me at dsteiner@auctionbytes.com .

Spread the word! You can shop, save money, and be heard!

You can access the AuctionBytes Yellow Pages from the home page or go directly to: http://www.auctionbytes.com/bin/bizdirectory/biz-dir-index.pl
