Hello <$firstname$>
As you can see we have adopted a new layout for the UK Auction Line Newsletter. For some weeks now Tim has been saying that the template we have been using was badly coded and needed changing. The change should also help us get through the strict Spam controls that the likes of AOL now have in place. As someone who receives about 200 Spam e-mails every day I fully support everything that will get rid of this curse but quite often the good guys get kicked out with thee bad guys. Why not make sure that you receive your newsletter regularly by adding us to your white or friends list. Having safely been parted from his appendix Tim spent some of his recuperation time designing the new layout. I think it looks pretty good and I hope you agree.

In the USA all the talk seems to be about eBay Live, which starts later this week in New Orleans. This is the big annual eBay jamboree and show. I fully expect to see quite a few new products being launched in the eBay support field. With all the software tools and books for eBayers this has become a real growth industry in itself.
The trouble is that there is still remarkably little available for users of eBay.co.uk but the position is getting better. One of the best sources of information regarding software for use with eBay is a London based expert Andy Geldman. For more information visit his site at www.auctionsoftwarereview.com

With effect from 6th August Paypal is adding some new tiers to its fee structure. Paypal guarantee that no one will pay more for UK domestic transactions, but if you are a big player you will be able to make some considerable savings.

The new rates are as follows:
£0 -£1500 turnover per month	3.4% +20p per transaction
£1501-£6,000	2.9%+ 20p per transaction
£6,000-£15,000	2.7% +20p per transaction
£15,001-£55,000	2.4% +20p per transaction
above £55,000	1.9% + 20p per transaction

For cross border sales ( Selling to customers outside the UK) there is an additional
0.5% charge plus the following additional charge per transaction.
USA 30¢ Canada 55¢ Euro €0.35 and Japan ¥40. But remember you will still have to pay the currency exchange fee as well.

Your turnover levels will be based on the previous months performance but initially when you think that you have qualified for the Merchant rate, (sales over £1500 per month) you will have to apply to Paypal. If you already have a Merchant Rate then there is no need to reapply.

From what I can see there will not be much difference for the average eBay seller but if for instance you sell £5,000 per month at the merchant rate you will save £25 a month in fees and if you do a massive £60,000 per month your saving is £900.

In fact I have been impressed enough with the system that I have decided to offer a drop ship service for our products. Currently I have placed 25 different CD Rom information products into the system. At present I am finalising the listing material and graphics for these and as soon as that is complete we will be offering the service.
The products range in price from £7.95 up to £49.95 and anyone who becomes a member of the group can advertise them and once a sale is made let us know and we will ship out the item to their customer.
I will charge the 50% of the purchase price and for that we will pay the shipping costs as well. The proposed first products are :

The Uk’s first eBay consignment service opened in Hackney, London early March 2004The service is set up in a converted factory building off Shacklewell Lane and Downs Park Road. Previous customers have commented “The auction process is entertaining along with the thrill and speed at which people bid for their items makes this an exciting venture. To buy items on eBay maybe easy enough but to sell is a hassle for us”.

SellStuffEasy offers a full service to their customers and buyers online. We do everything for our customer from picking items up at their homes, professional photographs, creative listings using html coding, research on products, payment processing, packing & shipping and all customer enquires regarding your items on auction. SellStuffEasy takes a commission on each sale from 10% to 25%. (Businesses who use us will be given special discounted rates for bulk items). Items that sell for high prices are charged less commission. “It takes roughly the same time to list a £4000 item as it does to list a £50 item” says Darren. “We want our customers to know that this is an amazing opportunity to sell their unwanted items with a fast, convenient and safe service”.

One of the most important features of SellStuffEasy is that their customers are protected from the internet public. If they where to use the internet to buy or sell items they have to enter their bank details and address. SellStuffEasy protects their customers against fraud, and I.D theft, using only SellStuffEasy’s information on eBay. Buyers are not going to know who the seller is, so customers are protected.

There are over 95 million users currently registered worldwide on eBay. There are 10 million auctions and one million listings each day.eBay’s numbers will almost certainly increase with more consignment stores across the UK. Many people with the knowledge and experience may know how to sell on eBay, but do they have the time? If you
know how to do DIY in the home but you don’t come round to doing it, then you may get an expert in to fix the problems for you, this saves you time, energy, commitment, the same goes for eBay.

SellStuffEasy accepts items that are considered to be worth a minimum of £20. SellStuffEasy only accepts items that conform to eBay’s prohibited lists. You can view this list if you visit the website at www.sellstuffeasy.com. They only operate in the London area currently but is soon opening more drop-off locations in the north of England.
