abyorkie of Batley, UK is impressed with how we're getting your items out into the 'net, and has some advice he'd like to share. "I thought I would have another look at the Google searches and was pleasantly surprised. By just putting in a key word into the main Google search engine ... my items appeared on the first and then 3rd pages, so I drilled down a bit more and put in a very specific keyword ... and it came out top of page 1!! Very impressed."

Important News from Google Shopping for all Sellers Google Shopping have been making some changes to their policies as to which items they will accept for promotion on their site. Make sure you check out this News posting for more information. They are asking for brands and barcodes (ISBN/UPC/EAN) to be added to listings when they are available. All CDs, DVDs, Books and Video Games have barcodes on the back. Enter them into the "Barcode" fields on our listing form. If your items don't have barcodes then there's a very simple form for you to fill out and request exemption and to continue having your items promoted on Google Shopping. Details on the News posting link just above.

National Football League September sees the start of the NFL season. The season currently starts on the Thursday night in the first full week of September (the Thursday after Labor Day) and runs weekly to late December or early January. The league is divided evenly into two sub-divisions known as "conferences". At the end of each regular season, six teams from each conference play in the NFL playoffs, a twelve-team single-elimination tournament that culminates with the championship game, the famous Super Bowl. If you're a fan of the sport, or perhaps just starting to learn about it, you should take a look at our sports cards and stickers category, or maybe just search for "Football" and see what interesting things turn up.

Lost in Translation As you know, eBid's "official language" is English. As soon as the site went global you started asking us to provide versions of eBid in your own home language; we listened and we made the changes. You can now join from many countries around the world and use the site in your home tongue. Now a funny thing has happened, we're starting to be asked to translate it back! For some of you your home tongue isn't necessarily that of the country where you're now based, and being able to use eBid in the original English would be extremely helpful. Once again we've listened to you, and we understand where you're coming from. We're going to be putting English options alongside the national language as soon as we can.

eBid Newsletter is produced by Kimbo!

As many people never seemed to get the newsletter, and I always did, I started a Newsletter page displaying the current and last issues: http://www.mootango.webspace.virginm...newsletter.asp

If I am now not going to get a copy, there seems little point in me continuing this. I may as well release the webspace it consumes and the time it take me to format it to suit the page.

The best option, if they can't sort out email delivery, would be for eBid to place the current and last issues (or even an archive - though older copies are of little use) on the site.

I never win competitions, but I would like to be in with at least a chance.

I never got it either

I Received the eBid.net Sept. Newsletter on Sept. 26, 2011 via eMail.

I Received the eBid.net Oct. Newsletter on Nov. 2, 2011 via eMail.

[JaBek1]

I do receive the newsletters, but they do not arrive at the same times consistently. I assume that they are sent out at random times instead of on a precise schedule.

[Oldandintheway]

No point in my getting one as it just arrives as hypertext jibberish
Better idea is to have it available on site somewhere!
