The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) has a story on how e-commerce sellers are using their own sites to do what eBay and Amazon do but cheaper and with more granular control. This is another trend that’s been on my mind for quite some time. I’d like to see what solution providers like ChannelAdvisor are going to do with this. In a world in which anyone can drive demand, things get pretty interesting.

Hey Jeff – actually last week we announced the acquisition of searchmarketing.com. This will enable us to now give ebay sellers the ability to participate in paid-search. The catch is the technology allows us to make it as easy as selling on eBay.
Give us your inventory information and revenue share/take rate goals and we’ll automatically generate the keywords, push to yahoo search marketing through api, measure ROI and optimize.
Viola!

I would like to know what site is brand new and is doing great and is competing with eba, ebay charges to mnuch ebay is a ripoff, to maNY FEESA TO MANY HIDDEN FEES?????
I had a store and was selling items that clients tried to sell in my stre. I then sold my store and I did have an item on ebay listed. When the shop was sold ebay suspended me. Of couse ebay does not consult with people at all. I did nothing wrong. Previous to selling the shop I had an excellent record with my customers.
I think ebay was wrong in their suspension.
They did not even notify me as to what I did.
EBAY has no heart just greed.
