It's good to be back (well, almost). Three weeks ago I thought I was done working on the house only to find out I needed to thoroughly clean it in ways I never imaged. Now, I'm finally finished with that. Our home passed the air quality test (we got the results today) showing my cleaning was good = no mold. So, next week the drywall and electrical wiring starts, then I get to paint the entire house. We anticipate being done sometime near Thanksgiving. I SOOOO want to get back to my niche stores, not to mention get caught up on your blog posts, but maybe some time in December I'll have time for that.

These people want the prizes and will join eBay and place a bid just to fulfill the requirements, then never use the ID they created (because they probably already have an eBay ID they currently use).

Avoid simply incentivizing visits to eBay or registration with eBay –If you are going to give your users cash back or points, tie those rewards to actual valid purchases on eBay.

I’ve never heard of this incentive program. How does it work??

I have become a site flipper lately and noticed on sitepoint many sites that sell integrate a shopping page into it. It gives the new buyer one more possible revenue stream and many times pushes them over the edge to purchase. Thanks for the info and I will keep these ideas in mind. They seem to make sense, but I know how you can leave steps out when you get into the middle of a project.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14598','Freddie'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14598','Freddie','I really have to get into using ebay in my sites.
