EcommerceBytes-Update, Number 207 - January 20, 2008 - ISSN 1528-6703

This & That: Online Auction Roundup
1) Google Shopping Displays Merchant Reviews
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.

********

Since 1996, eBay's feedback system has given users confidence to buy from unknown entities, and the Google Geeks have developed a system of their own that may help level the playing field for small sellers with whom shoppers may be unfamiliar.

By Ina Steiner

Longtime readers may remember Robin Rosaaen, aka Rockin' Robin, whom we interviewed at eBay Live 2005. An early eBay employee (#41), it was she who first saw the potential to reach out to collectors to engage them on the auction site, as described in Adam Cohen's book, "The Perfect Store: Inside eBay." Robin continues to share her passion for all things Elvis and is featured in the February issue of Readers Digest.
