now all we need is fleabay's page rank to drop some more. I remember there was a time when fleabay's rank was in the single digits. Now their current page rank is 18. And besides, the lower their page rank, the less money they receive

That is a good mention!

I also liked the comment in the article:

The company (eBid) said revenues grew 45% month-on-month in August "predominately by attracting disgruntled eBay customers indicating a correlation between eBay policy changes and a surge in new listings to eBid."

Something that's been lurking in the back of my brain the last few days... what exactly is this "US launch" all about? What's changed? We've got US sellers, US buyers, and a US site and have had for ages... what's actually been launched? (Sorry if I'm being dim, I'll blame this head-cold - the phlegm's blocking my synapses!)

I had just assumed that it was a P.R. type launch in the trade press, etc., confirming the de facto situation that US eBid was there and doing business.

A 'launch' under whatever pretext, is good publicity!!

LOL of course it is, but that doesn't exactly answer the question. So doesn't anybody know? I was just the only person prepared to admit I didn't know what they were talking about, eh?

No wonder I'm so cheerful.
