after looking at how google is setting up froogle and gbuy it is now pretty clear that they will indeed end ebays power as the only place to go to buy items....
froogle shows still beta stage but it does show how it may gonna work... and it looks like a good plan that will work.. while setting up froogle and gbuy yes google don't need to advertize yet........ebay.com and froogle.com 2 places where people can put in a search for items they are interested in.....with ebay.com one has to register to buy from.... with froogle.com search takes you to the product where we should make it where its EASY and where one does not have to register... yes this will bring us alot more non paying bidders but we need to have a system in place where this does NOT take up our time..... also the product thru froogle.com will be cheaper cause of sellers not paying outrageous fees...buyers will take a chance at times with a site less secure if it has a lower price... and then if it goes thru fine then this buyer has confidence for all later buying.....
when items comes up in search on froogle it also shows where one can click to see other items from this seller and shows the name right off...... i think its best to make the 2nd name for people to remember your own name froogle first and then the item comes up and shows your website with your name instead of ecrater.com or blujay.com.... these sites like ecrater.... blujay... bidville will be the next best way for ones items other than ones website...
with ebay it shows it takes 3.5 seconds to load a page.. with ecrater 1.7 .. with bidville 1.3..... this also will be a factor in ebay losing buyers .. yep when google gets this set up then ADVERTIZES it then will force ebay to lower fees drastically....then sellers will be able to make alot better from both ebay and froogle.... but sellers being so mad at ebay.. they will give any equal profits they may make to the opposite of ebay...... ebay will always now have a disadvantage...
yes the way it seems google is setting up froogle and gbuy.....its pretty much over for ebay..... the new power will be google and the best websites......the searches will turn up ebay items also....but the searches will make it EQUAL your items to ebays items or ecraters... and then your name will be there and not ebay or ecrater and a link to your items not a link to ecrater or ebay sites items.... having ones own website will be alot better than ecrater.. blujay or bidville cause of how it shows up on froogle..... so now the rush will be ON for companies to make their money making the best and cheapest websites for people.. ecrater and blujay and bidville are not a website for people and does not work as well as ones own website with froogle..that is iF one sets up his website correctly!!!
Really great info! Thanks!
Can't wait to get into the meat of this info this weekend.
Once again, THANKS!
