View Article  eBay Will Be Offering "eBay Marketplace Research" Subscriptions
eBay is jumping on the marketplace research bandwagon, and has announced a product that will be competitive with Sellathon, Terapeak, and other popular auction research tools.  "eBay Marketplace Research" will be available in 3 levels, the most comprehensive costing $24.99 a month.  There's also a $9.99 level that will give you the basics, and a $2.99 Fast Pass that will give you 2 days of access to the service.  Each level offers varying information as well as research results that go back in the eBay sales history for either 60 or 90 days.
 
Once you sign-up, you can cancel anytime; however, the fee is not pro-rated, so if you want to cancel, be sure to use the majority of the month.  You can check out the comparison of features here:  http://pages.ebay.com/marketplace_research/detailed-comparison.html and here's the official announcement:
 
 
Hi, this is John Bodine with Product Marketing. We know that sellers need information to run their businesses efficiently -- for instance, the price an item is likely to go for on eBay, or what types of items buyers are searching for. Likewise, buyers want to know the price they can expect to pay for an item they're considering purchasing. We're happy to announce that soon you'll be able to get this kind of information based on activity on eBay's sites with our newest service, eBay Marketplace Research.

eBay Marketplace Research [http://pages.ebay.com/marketplace_research/index.html?ssPageName=CMDV:AB], launching this week, will help you understand overall listing, selling, and searching trends across the eBay site, and give you the information you need to become a more informed buyer or seller.

Some of the features of eBay Marketplace Research include:

-the ability to analyze key information like the average sale prices, average start prices, and average Buy It Now prices of items
-the ability to explore the top keyword searches on eBay by category and by related keywords
charts to help you see buying and selling trends in the eBay marketplace
-access to completed items data going back up to 90 days

eBay Marketplace Research is a subscription-based service, offered in three levels -- Fast Pass, Basic, and Pro. Choose the level that best meets your research needs on eBay.

To learn more, please visit the eBay Marketplace Research page [http://pages.ebay.com/marketplace_research/index.html?ssPageName=CMDV:AB]. I hope you can also join the Product Marketing team for an online workshop on eBay Marketplace Research [http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=1000119181&ssPageName=CMDV:AB], scheduled for November 17th at 11:00 am PT. We've also created a new discussion board for eBay Marketplace Research for you to share your thoughts on this new service.

View Article  Now Available - Purchase and Print International Shipping Labels Through PayPal
You will now be able to purchase international shipping through PayPal or My eBay!  And you can print pre-filled customs forms, too  All the bugs might not be worked out yet, but it appears that not all international shipping classes are available.   3 different address to Canada would only give the option of Global Express, Global Priority, and Airmail Parcel Post.  Especially for clothing, Airmail Letter Post is a popular choice, and doesn't appear to be available.  Heres the official announcement:  
 
Hi...this is Leigh Goldstein again from eBay's Shipping team. You may recall that back in June at eBay Live! 2005, Bill Cobb, President of eBay North America, and John E. Potter, Postmaster General of the U.S. Postal Service®, jointly announced that later this year we would offer the ability to print International Shipping Labels on eBay. I'm pleased to let you know that this new feature is now available - just in time for the holiday season! We and the folks at the U.S. Postal Service and UPS are excited about this change, which should make selling globally much easier.

Now you can purchase and print both U.S. Postal Service and UPS international shipping labels and customs forms directly from My eBay or PayPal, just like you can with domestic labels. Printing international shipping labels at home with eBay will save you a trip to the Post OfficeT or UPS drop-off location. Imagine - no standing in long lines during the holiday rush!

And, with pre-filled buyer and seller addresses, you can be assured that international addresses are correctly populated. Even your customs forms will be pre-filled automatically and printable right from your home printer as part of the label printing process when using services from the U.S. Postal Service.

Learn more about printing International Shipping Labels by viewing our information page [http://pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/shippinginternational.html?ssPageName=CMDV:AB], taking the tutorial [http://pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/shippinginternational/tutorial.html?ssPageName=CMDV:AB] and reviewing our Frequently Asked Questions [http://pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/shippinginternational/faq.html?ssPageName=CMDV:AB]. We hope these new features contribute to your success on eBay!

Sincerely,

Leigh Goldstein

View Article  Important eBay Information About Cross-Promoting With Other Sellers
Read this announcement carefully.  You'll need to decide if it's profitable for your business to have your competition's listings right next to yours on your "Watch Reminder" and "Non-Winning Bidder" emails.  You'll also get exposure on other buyer's emails if you decide to participate.  Here's the announcement:

To increase the exposure of current listings and improve the finding experience for buyers, we will soon display similar active listings from other sellers on closed item pages. As they do today, buyers will first see other items from the seller who listed the original closed item in the "See More Great Items From This Seller" section. In addition, buyers will be shown a list of similar items from other sellers. This should be especially helpful for buyers who get to one of these closed item pages via a search engine.

Once launched, sellers who have not already opted out of having other sellers' items displayed on Watch Reminder and Non-Winning Bidder emails will be defaulted into this program. This will ensure your items receive maximum exposure on other sellers' closed item pages and that buyers who land on closed listings see relevant active listings.

Sellers will also have the ability to opt out of this program entirely, which means your closed item pages will not display similar items from other sellers, nor will your active listings appear on other sellers' closed items. Sellers can also choose to only allow the display of other sellers' items to any of the following types of buyers:

-Buyers who bid on, but didn't win, the item.
-Buyers who did not actually bid on the item.
-Both of the above.

You will be able to control these settings from the "Promoting Similar Items on eBay Pages and Emails" section of your Preferences in My eBay.
