4) Bidville to Be Included on Froogle Searches
By Ina Steiner
Bidville announced its fixed-price inventory will be included in Google's new Froogle shopping search engine. Within the next few weeks, Bidville's inventory of products will be uploaded and included in all Froogle searches.
Since Froogle only allows fixed price items, Bidville will be uploading its entire inventory of "Take It Price" auctions to Froogle. Currently, over sixty percent of items have a "Take It Price". Traditional auction items are not permitted by Froogle and will not be included. Bidville said its merchants will not need to alter their items in any way. All eligible items will automatically be uploaded to Froogle. http://www.bidville.com For more information about Froogle, see http://www.auctionbytes.com/pages/abn/y02/m12/i12/s01.
