The Global e-Lottery Affiliate Program

The e-Lottery Affiliate Program is not only simple to understand but also very easy to promote. People are searching everyday for a home based business opportunity that is simple yet easy to duplicate and here is one that is all those things and can be operated from the comfort and convenience of your own home.

The e-Lottery Affiliate Program supplies you with the tools with which to grab your piece of the already vast global gaming market through its syndicate system and skill gaming network. This market is set to almost triple with analysts forecasting the global gaming industry to be worth $18.3 billion USD by 2010.

Worldwide lotteries alone have created an enormous global market with more than 20 million people playing just the UK Lottery each week and in turn shelling out more than $1 billion USD every year in the process. And this market is miniscule when compared to the skill gaming market which happens to be one of the fastest developing industries on the planet.

The e-Lottery Affiliate Program has already gathered in excess of 150,000 members through its multi win syndicate system from more than 133 nations on the planet.

The e-Lottery affiliate business program is a truly global affair with the whole planet as your potential sales territory. Owing to this fact, the income possibilities are endless.

Each and every e-Lottery affiliate is issued with a state of the art e-commerce recruitment website as soon as their joining fee is received. Every time a new member registers through your website you will earn an ongoing 20% monthly commission for as long as that person(s) continues to pay their subscription.

On top of this, you will also earn a 5% residual income on the subscriptions of all the members registered by affiliates in your down line. Once you have registered your initial 5 members, you will be playing in your syndicate for free and you are well on your way to building a solid e-Lottery income.

Improvements to Buy It Now and Shops are now here

The updates to eBay.co.uk announced a few weeks ago are now live. Let me know if you think that they are an improvement. First impressions for me are positive.

Regards
Steve H

The major improvements to the way Buy It Now and Shops work on eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie announced in August are now here.

Our new Buy It Now means sellers can list as many identical items as they want in one listing, for 30 days, and all for a single flat fee. The more items that sell from that listing, the higher the listing is likely to appear in search results.

If you sell lots of Buy It Now items, our new Shops are designed to give you the opportunity to offer even more stock on eBay, and to enjoy a lower upfront cost - as low as 1p on eBay.co.uk and 2c on eBay.ie depending on what level Shop subscription you choose.

We'd like to remind you that if you've pre-registered your interest in a Shop you'll need to log in and complete your Shop registration before you start loading up your inventory. We've also introduced changes to the qualifying criteria for Feature and Anchor Shops so that the best opportunities are open to the sellers offering the best service. Please check to make sure you've met these criteria.

To make the most of these changes, if you haven't already done so, follow these four essential steps:

1. Sign up for the right Shop and get even lower insertion fees
2. Take advantage of cheaper multiple-item and Good Till cancelled listings
3. Get the best placement in search results with good products, great prices and Featured First
4. Keep delivering great service to buyers

To find out how to take advantage of these changes visit: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/buyitnow08 (eBay.co.uk) or http://pages.ebay.ie/buyitnow08 (eBay.ie).

We realise that there may be some technical issues with the merging of the two fixed price formats which means a SIF listing created before 25th September may incur a charge when gallery is added or when single listings are turned to multiple-item listings. We'll credit these charges in the next invoice cycle for sellers affected by this.

You may also notice that some of the Feature Pricing is displayed incorrectly in eBay and third-party tools. The correct pricing will be charged at the end of the transaction. We're working hard to make sure that the correct pricing will be displayed. To see the correct fees please visit http://pages.ebay.co.uk/pricechange08/index.html (eBay.co.uk) or http://pages.ebay.ie/pricechange08/index.html (eBay.ie).

We're also awaiting updates to Turbo Lister to go live later today. We will keep you updated on the progress of this.

Regards,

The eBay Team

More members to experience the changed search on eBay.co.uk

This summer, we've been introducing a new search system with new layouts, greater flexibility in how to refine searches and more comprehensive search results. Next week, the remaining users, who have not seen the new search will be automatically redirected to the new search system.

This change will not affect eBay.co.uk users who have opted-out from the new search or those users already using the new search (an easy way to tell if you're seeing new search is to look for search URLs that start with http://shop.)

To minimise any disruption, we suggest that you familiarise yourself with the new search system and find some items that you would not have found before.

The eBay Team

eBay Bid Assistant to be removed

Hi everyone

More changes to eBay.co.uk

Regards

Steve H

We’re always trying to make our sites simpler and take off features that don’t get much use. That’s why we’re going to retire Bid Assistant – which allowed you to bid on multiple similar items in succession – from eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie in the next few weeks.

The removal plan

On 22 September, we’ll start removing the links to Bid Assistant from item pages and from My eBay, and buyers will no longer be able to create new groups of items. If you’ve used Bid Assistant on eBay.co.uk or eBay.ie recently, or plan to use it before 22 September, here’s how you’ll be affected:

If you’ve got an active Bid Assistant group as of 22 September: You’ll still see the link to Bid Assistant in My eBay, and will be able to view your groups of items inside it. Bid Assistant will also continue to bid on the items in each group as scheduled.

But you won’t be able to add or remove items from a group or change your maximum bids. Your Bid Assistant groups will essentially ‘lock’ on 22 September so if you want to change anything in them, make sure you do it before that day.

If you have a closed Bid Assistant group as of 22 September: You’ll still be able to view your closed groups via the link in My eBay.

We’ll take Bid Assistant off eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie altogether in mid-October.

Regards,
The eBay Team.

Charity Auction for signed Football Shirts by Pele

Hello everyone

I don't normally publish letters from charity organisations but I have decided to make an exception in this case. So if there are any Football affecianados out there here is your opportunity to grab a piece of history. I think that if you are interested then you will have to get in touch with Adam Murray quickly, because when the word spreads I believe they will sell out fast.

Regards
Steve H



Good morning.

We have just been informed that Pele, rated by many as the greatest footballer of all time, has kindly signed and donated 10 shirts to the Foundation, in order to raise much needed funds in this difficult time.

We are putting a £300 price tag on each shirt in order to raise £3000 towards our orphange in South Africa this month. You will find that this is a great price.

If anyone is interested in purchasing one, then please let me know as soon as possible as a press release will be published in the Echo newspaper on Thursday or Friday.

Many thanks again for all your support.

Best Regards

Adam Murry

Taking Advantage of “Slow” eBay Auctions.

Hi

Some auctions get hundreds of bids, but some go much more slowly, getting only a few bids or even none at all for days. Auctions are generally much slower during the summer months than they are in the winter – and sales on eBay are slowing each year, as more sellers than buyers sign up, hoping to get rich quick. There are a number of ways that you can take advantage of slower auctions to get the best price.

Regards

Steve H

Wait to Bid.

If you bid, then everyone can see you’re interested – and that might make them interested too. Leaving the item alone for as long as you can bear will make it look less popular, and keep the price down so you can come in at the last minute and get a bargain.

Make an Offer.

If the seller is selling an item using ‘Buy it Now’ and it still hasn’t sold when the auction is about to end, use eBay’s ‘Best Offer’ service to make them an offer on it. The chances are they’ve listed the item two or three times before, and they’ll be so annoyed at the prospect of re-listing it yet again that they’ll accept your offer just to get rid of the thing.

Conspire with Other Buyers.

You might not have thought of this, but if there are two auctions for the same item and only you and one other buyer are bidding, why not get together and work out a ‘you take this one and I’ll take that one’ deal? This avoids you raising the price on both auctions just to get one each. If you make a few friends, you can even work together on auctions long-term, taking it in turns to bid.

Be Snobbish.

Send the seller emails asking questions about the condition of the item, and making it very clear that you are a discerning buyer and will only accept things of the highest quality. This will make them feel better about selling you their item for less.

Don’t Feel Guilty.

There really are too many sellers on eBay now, to the point where you can get common items at very low prices. Long-term, this will probably force those sellers out of business, but that’s the way a market works – it’s supply and demand.

Buy in Bulk.

When auctions are slow, many sellers will have had the same stock for a long time. If you offer to take ten things off their hands all at once then you can almost name your price – the chances are that they’ll fall over themselves to give you a good deal. If you come back again and buy another ten items then they’ll love you even more.

The longer you spend on eBay, the more experienced you’ll become – and the greater the chances are that you’ll stumble across an auction for something very odd, and quite unexpected. In the next email, you’ll hear all about the strangest eBay items ever sold.

Top 10 Strangest eBay Items Ever Sold.

Hi Everyone

eBay can be a very odd place, given that you can sell almost anything you want. Here are the auctions I’ve picked as being the strangest ever. In reverse order as they say!

#10 - Girlfriends: Some girls auctioned their services as ‘imaginary girlfriends’, who would send the winning bidder pictures of themselves and loving letters, which they could use to pretend they had a girlfriend.

#9 - Wedding dress: Nothing strange about selling a wedding dress, you might think – but this was the guy’s ex-wife’s wedding dress. And he modelled it, as well as writing a long screed about his ex-wife in the description. It sold for £3,850.

#8 - TV part: Producers on the TV show Ally McBeal once used eBay to auction off a walk-on part on the show.

#7 - Kidney: One man tried to sell his kidney on eBay – after all, you only need one, right? Unfortunately it’s illegal to buy or sell human organs. Good thinking, though.

#6 - Toenail clippings: A girl once sold her toenail clippings on eBay, one clipping from each toe. She got a $1 for the set – a low price for the years of joy they no doubt provided to the buyer.

#5 - Britney’s gum: Someone picked up Britney Spears’ chewed gum at a London hotel and decided it’d be a great thing to sell on eBay. Oddly enough, they were right – they got $263 for it. A Britney fan probably has it framed in their house.

#4 - Ghost: Yes, a ghost. In a jar. Well, why not? The ghost was, apparently, ‘terrorising’ the man who owned it, and so he decided to capture it and sell it on eBay to someone who might be able to give it a better home.

#3 - Virgin Mary sandwich: A seller offered a grilled cheese sandwich upon which the Virgin Mary had appeared to her – and the strange thing is, she genuinely seemed to believe it. This item, unbelievably, sold for $28,000. Some people just have too much money to waste, don’t they?

#2 - Virginity: An 18-year-old British girl sold her virginity on eBay – but it was bought by a businessman who kindly agreed to give her the money without actually taking the ‘service’.

And at #1 - Fighter jet: A state brokerage in Virginia sold a U.S. Navy F/A-18A Hornet jet fighter on eBay for just over a million dollars. It was, unfortunately, in pieces and so unusable, but they offered to put it back together and make it ready to fly for the low, low price of just another $9 million.

Of course, when you’re buying expensive items – not quite as expensive as the fighter jet, but you know what I mean – you will want to get them for the very best price that you can manage. If you can master the dark art of eBay ‘sniping’, then you can jump in at the last minute and get items for only a few cents more than the bidder who was going to win. You can learn the sniper’s secrets in the next email.

eBay questions?

Hi Everyone

Let me read your mind for a moment...
The most common questions about selling on eBay
or the Internet are "What should I sell?"
and

"Where can I find products to sell?"

If that's what you are thinking I've got some
advice for you.

Don't fall into any of these mental traps while
researching your ideas:

If you can't wait to read the rest of the article then check it out by clicking this link.

http://tinyurl.com/5nknad

Successful sellers on eBay sell a lot of
stuff. It's all about HIGH VOLUME. FALSE!

Successful sellers on eBay sell the popular
items like electronics or the hottest latest
gizmos like ipods. FALSE!

Success on eBay requires a full-time effort
to be able to keep up with all the
competition. FALSE!

To me success on eBay looks more like this:

Finding a unique unusual niche that allows you
to grow a virtually competition free loyal customer
base for repeat sales on and off eBay.

Better yet - 95% of it can be automated once you
get into your groove!

One of the tools that was created by one of
the experts at MySilentTeam.com can be found
here:

It's great for finding niche markets on eBay that
you can exploit...

Are you leaving money on the table?

Hi Everyone

Are you wasting one of eBay’s most valuable assets? eBay is the 4th most visited site on the Internet. Now you can profit from this huge volume of traffic. So many people are trying to build a web-site and then trying desperately to get traffic to their web-site. Why not simply go to where the traffic is? Go to eBay! You don't even need a web-site! (If you have a web-site get ready for a serious TRAFFIC BOOST). What's the secret? It has to do with the fact that about 80,000 people sign up for eBay.com every day! And over 700,000 people make a living on eBay!

Jim Cockrum has discovered a simple way to profit from that HUGE volume of traffic. There are over 100 million members & over 1.5 Billion page views per month on eBay. In his e-book THE SILENT SALES MACHINE he shows how you can take full advantage of that traffic. I promise you have never been exposed to ideas like these.

If I could only have one book on how to build my eBay business it would be THE SILENT SALES MACHINE. The latest updated 6th version has just been released and I strongly recommend that you go to: Click Here! And take a look now!

Best Regards
