Well a lot has been happening whilst I have been away and it really is catching up time for me. Finally the eBay/ Skype row seems to have been sorted and they are all friends again. Meg Whitman the former CEO of eBay is seeking high office in the States, look out Arnie she is after your job..

Only this week a new auction site has been launched but this is one with a difference. Just for a minute spare some sympathy for those poor billionaires who have seen their fortunes fall so that they are now only multi millionaires. It appears times are tough at the top and they need to rid themselves of their planes, yachts and jewellery
.
A new auction site www.billionerexchange.com has come to their rescue and offers an auction site especially for them. If you are looking for a second hand Ferrari or Lear jet that is the site to go. Don’t you just feel so sorry for the filthy rich?

I see that eBay have recently launched their own online magazine The Inside Source. EBay say that the magazine, www.theinsidesource.com, is geared to “inspired shoppers” and features stories based on what eBay’s millions of users are looking for according to the publication.
It will feature articles, analysis and opinions from eBay shoppers and journalists. The site will also point to eBay’s most-watched and most-searched items. eBay expect the magazine to inspire eBay users by profiling an art dealer discovering museum-quality pieces to a breakdown of the hottest trends in handbags. Personally I see it as another move to re establish them in the face of growing competition especially from Amazon.

That is about it for today but I intend to develop this blog and will hope to post to it at least twice a week. I would also welcome any comments that readers might have.
Talk too soon
