Folks, this is the kind of string that always makes me wonder what
people are thinking.
All they do is delay ebay getting the money by a week and eBay has
all the sellers trained like puppies.
Look, nothing will happen to ebay unless you make a decision to LEAVE EBAY
These sellers did

A time-stated boycott is a waste of time. Either you leave or you
stay and longterm that is the answer. Of course what surprises me is
that even with an alternative - in this case
<http://www.movieposterbid.com/>http://www.movieposterbid.com/ - ebay
sellers still don't get it.
One good example of a seller who does get it is Quadbod Terry who
currently has several hundred items listed on MPB.
Ask Terry folks, he sells something on a regular basis. Some weeks he
pulls in 200-300$ and while I will readily admit that isn't alot of
dough, it is a beginning to better things. If you read the article I
linked above, every person who left ebay made a decision that they
knew would affect them negatively initially. They all expected to
make fewer sales at the start. But combined with lowered fees,
determined their loss would be mitigated slightly by that fact.
Since I began my 99 cent no reserve auctions, I have sold just over
$50,000. However, I also did $36,000 on the *comic-art.com* account
and an additional $7700 on the comic-art.com account. So I have done
$93,700 on MPB since April 2006. (by the way, total site sales since
I took over the site in April 2006 are just under $160,000. The other
beneficiaries are Abe, Stan Choko, Quadbod, John Reid, Wolfgang Jahn,
Henry Mazel and others I can recalll offhand). by the way, the total
is short of something. We lost a portion of the database with sales
from April to June 2006. probably about $10,000 in sales
Do I get Bruce prices?? No, but very few dealers do on eBay anyway
but here. Here is the #1 benefit of selling on MPB.
#1 unlike eBay, I actually promo all sellers via my twice-weekly
emails and on the News/Events page
#2 we offer a membership of movie poster collectors at a site
directed at movie poster collectors
#3 due to our low selling fee, IF I was fully charging sellers, the
final value fee on that $160,000 is just $8000
that fee does not include any featured item fees (just $1.00 against
eBay's $19.95), but at the least, there are no listing fees on MPB.
so all you have to lose is your listing time
But I tell ya, just like the 5 sellers highlighted in that money.cnn
article, YOU have to make the decision that the time of eBay has
passed for your business as the entirety of your online sales and
determine that there are other venues for you to make sales
I am happy to have any reliable dealer selling on MPB.. Why shouldn't
you be one of them??
