By Ina Steiner
Reminder: AuctionBytes-Update does not endorse the products and services featured in the "This & That" column, which often features new Web sites. (Anyone can set up a Web site.) Fraud has become widespread in the online auction world, and you should think twice before giving private information or User IDs and passwords to any third party.

2) 1stdibs.com Online Antiques Mall
By Ina Steiner
I keep hearing about 1stdibs.com lately (http://www.1stdibs.com). Here's an article originally published in the RealEstateJournal.com back in March that touches on several sites: "Interior Decorators On Where To Shop the Web for Home Decor" (http://www.realestatejournal.com/homegarden/20060306-blackwell.html). And while you're at it, peruse an interesting article from the LA Times, "Vintage furniture can be worth toil": (http://www.insidebayarea.com/bayarealiving/ci_4924645).
3) Vendor Monday: Password Safety
By Ina Steiner
Last week, Internet Business Skills founder Allison Hartsoe discussed the important issue of password safety as part of the AuctionBytes Vendor Monday series. We've gotten very positive feedback on this article, a must-read.

Multichannel Merchant has an article worth perusing if you're keeping tabs on shipping rate changes: "A New Dimension in Packaging."
