USOpen-Spallone auctionThe sponsorship opportunity was posted last week in a one-day listing on eBay and closed Friday (June 10) at $7,600 after a flurry of last-minute bidding. The starting price was $5,000. View the final listing page here. When: Spallone will wear the Misys logo on his left shirt front during Wednesday's practice round, Thursday and Friday's competitive rounds, and potentially through the weekend. Background: The sponsorship listing was managed by Octagon, the leading sports marketing firm, and Kompolt, the leading online auction agency. Earlier this year, two pros - Octagon client Chris Smith ($8,100) and Brian Payne ($10,000) -- also received sponsorships via listings on eBay. "I'm very grateful for the opportunity and Misys stepping in as my sponsor," said Spallone, who has played on various mini-tours for four years.http://www.imaginethissold.com/_news/globe_10-06-04Imagine This Sold Ltd. is launching next month what observers say is the first major operation in Canada that will serve as a "middleman" for those who want to sell items on the popular on-line auctioneer eBay Inc. For a fee, the middlemen take in products for auctioning, assess them, price them, photograph them, write up descriptions and then work through the eBay process, sending a cheque to the customer and taking a cut of the selling price. "There is value in the effort, work and time spent to support and facilitate a sale on eBay," said Peter Wohl, 36, co-owner with his wife Kim, 38, of the new Canadian concern. These new services are something of a paradox in that eBay was aimed at letting ordinary people auction off their goods on a worldwide platform, akin to a global garage sale, said author Rick Broadhead, an e-commerce expert. But the development also underlines how competitive trading on eBay has become, and how much expertise is needed to succeed at it, he said.

During her first few years at the company, she recalls, "People were saying, `Go into B2B, buy Ariba, make eBay like Amazon.' " She did the oppo-site, focusing on the consumer market and collectibles because they're the items that eBay's most passionate users love to sell. In early 2000, eager to find a partner who could help expand eBay globally, she and her team vis-ited AOL brass at their Virginia headquarters, hoping to sell eBay to AOL. The price-tag was viewed as too high at the time but, says Terry Semel, CEO of Yahoo, eBay's fiercest Internet competitor, "PayPal has been an enormous help to eBay.

According to eBay, there are more than 430,000 sellers on eBay.com selling full-time or part-time. Meg Whitman, president and CEO of eBay, says, "Members of our community are evolving the way they utilize eBay, proving that our marketplace is just as relevant for small business use as it is for personal use. eBay has become an important destination for small businesses.

Anyone looking for the stores would have, until recently, found almost nothing on eBay, even though at least 1,000 such stores exist solely to list more goods on eBay. But dropoff store operators say that some changes this month suggest that eBay could be steering them to more profitable waters. As a market, the dropoff stores are unproved, but Hani Durzy, an eBay spokesman, said the company was "excited about the possibilities for these stores." "We're watching intently," Mr. Durzy said, "and figuring out what's the best way to support them without getting in their way." He said eBay was treading carefully, partly because it had no direct financial stake in the auction dropoff businesses, which charge commissions of about 30 percent on items they sell. Last year, eBay saidThis paper analyzes seller characteristics and choices in approximately 1000 eBay auctions for a particular model of PDA. A significant element of the emergence of online auctions has been the utilization of auction sites such as eBay to sell products that are simultaneously sold in conventional retail markets. Given the diversity of products and sellers on eBay, it is interesting to understand how the characteristics of sellers affect their choices of different facets of their Internet auctions. Our ultimate motivation is that one can view eBay and other online auctions as a type of `lab' for studying the evolution of markets, where both larger corporations and individual entrepreneurs may be represented. We would expect infrequent and inexperienced sellers to try many different strategies when they use eBay, and we cannot necessarily identify which strategies will be most successful in the long run.

BW Online | August 27, 2004 | eBay: Who Needs It? eBay knows well that auctions aren't for everyone. "We know that much of our community, at least some of the time, likes to be able to pay a known price," says eBay spokesman Hani Durzy. For eBay's 114 million users, "different strokes for different folks," is the theme, he says. Durzy explained to me how eBay's fixed-price feature works.
