    Hey Soo,

    I'm sorry for posting the URL. Was not aware of it. Hope you don't close this thread as it has been a good help to me and I will continue posting my progress here.

    Thanks

    I think links in sig lines are OK within reason but I'll double check. I know we are all supposed to be more careful what our sigs say now.

    terrymats, I think if you put the link in the referres...I can't spell that today....and then to it from here so we can help I think that should be ok....

    Or speak to Martin about what you are doing and ask if he would mind you doing anything more specifc like Andy did for the travel stuff

    I guess I'll say my piece (not like me I know :p )

    To date I have seen nothing on this thread to convince me I should spend my time providing information for "research"..... If I genuinely believed the OP was serious, I would gladly give my time, however, the complete lack of any content on the part of the OP, and my love of googling email addresses led me to conclude very early on that my time would be better spent elsewhere. :)

    That said, if I saw a little content to the OP's comments, I would be more than willing to assist, as I always am (where I can). If that all sounds rather negative, my apologies, life and the internet just makes you that way sometimes. :p

    i understand the sellers will be hard to pursue. Put there are ways to get them to buy on your website. Besides, ebay cannot lower their prices for any reason as long as i'm not atleast half of them. And if it is to be, its atleast a few years from now. Besides, I'm planning to offer all new members a 3 year fixed price account.

    Thanks

    Make it free for sellers, all buy it nows, charge buyers a premium, prices would therefore be approx 20% lower than Ebays and buyers would pay a 5% or so fee to buy at that price.
