eBays New Best Match Search Tool
Hmmmm, this is interesting. Just finished reading a couple of excellent posts over at Auction Insights explaining eBay’s new “Best Match” search option currently being tested in a few select eBay categories.
I highly recommend reading these articles, as if the new “search by relevance” criteria is adopted as the default search method across all categories on eBay, it constitutes a major change significantly effecting both the buying and selling experience on eBay.
If I was a betting man, I’d bet we best get ready for “Best Match”, cause it’s here to stay.

Package With Care
It’s a good thing all my packages are A.V.T. You never know when Ace will be delivering your packages.
Hi,
I received the Coffee press today, and it was a good thing that you did such a good job of packaging it because 1/4 of the shipping carton had been crushed during transit! I’m sure that if you hadn’t used a sufficient quantity of cushioning material then the glass carafe would have been broken for sure! Thanks very much for your excellent packaging job!!!

Searching For Bobby Fischer
I’m no collector but if I was I would be on eBay searching for Bobby Fischer. It’s a sad commentary but death does wonders for the value of collectibles.
I was no fan of Bobby Fischer’s politics or his wacky view of the world, but a part of me died when I heard the news he passed away this past Thursday. It seems like yesterday I was glued to news reports coming out of ReykjavÃk, Iceland telling about his world chess championship match with Boris Spassky back in July of 1972.

Taking Notes on ebay Products
Since I lost half my eBay business I’ve been looking for new products to sell on eBay.
Here in South Bend Indiana two huge Pep Boy auto parts and service stores went out of business. I was hoping to purchase some of their inventory at the kind of liquidation pricing I received from Radio Shack back in the summer of 2006. However Pep Boys sold their entire inventory right after the New Year, probably to some huge liquidation house. Pep Boys had hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars worth of merchandise in just their two stores here in South Bend.

Interesting eBay Auctions - Graffiti Wall
Graffiti artists take note. A graffiti artist in the United Kingdom listed and sold a wall painted with graffiti for 208,100 pounds (275,750 euros, 407,000 dollars) this past Monday.
I’m guessing the adjective “famous” needs to be inserted before “Graffiti Artist” in order to attract these kind of eBay bidders so don’t rush down into the basement for that half full can of lavender paint.

eBay Tweaks Search Tool to Benefit Stores?
“eBay Stores Benefit from Usability Change”
Shows you how much I know. I didn’t even know that “Stores” link under the main colored eBay logo was there. So now when you click that “Stores” link you get taken straight to only the eBay store auctions. Hmmm…not a big deal, but every improvement helps.
Seems like whenever any new feature is added the biggest challenge is communicating the feature and benefit to their user base.
