eBay Live! is coming up later this month, and I'll be reporting live from the event.

eBay Live! is a convention for eBay buyers and sellers taking place in Orlando, Florida on June 26-28. eBay Live! offers daily eBay University classes for users of all levels, tradeshow booths, live auctions, a gala party, and presentations by eBay executives, including a keynote speech from President and CEO Meg Whitman. http://www.ebay.com/ebaylive

For those not able to attend the convention, AuctionBytes will have extensive coverage of eBay Live!, including all the breaking news. We'll have pages with pictures of eBay staff, vendors and attendees so you can see the faces of the people behind your favorite auction sites and services. I'll also be keeping a log of my impressions of the event. Last year's coverage was very well received by our readers. This year we're adding a new feature called "Postcards from eBay Live!" If you're going to the convention and want to send a personal picture and message to friends and family back home, read our next issue and I'll tell you how to get "hooked up."

I'd like to thank the vendors who are sponsoring this year's coverage. Zoovy is sponsoring our main eBay Live coverage page. Auction Hawk is sponsoring the photo pages, BidPay is sponsoring the Web Log page, Endicia is sponsoring the Postcards page, and MyStoreCredit.com and Fast-Pack.com are also sponsors.

The main page for our coverage is located at http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/ebaylive2003. Bookmark this page so that you can keep up with all of the happenings the moment we start to cover it!

If any readers are attending, please send me an email and let me know, I may have a special announcement for you. And if you are not attending, let me know if there are issues you would like me to research while I'm there. It helps me to know what's on readers' minds.
