Yeah but Choo...I do believe it really will be worth it in the long run. The trick of course, is driving plenty of traffic to your site.

Howdy N -- So sorry Amigo(a?)... I didn't realize you were wanting to use that avi. I guess I thought you were still looking for something more 'tentative' . Just replace your current avi with the turtle (size shouldn't be a problem). Just in case you're unsure about doing that..here's how:
First: nav to your images area & copy the img URL into your clipboard (sugg: put your avi into it's own folder & never move it!)
Then nav back here and click-thru the following:
go -> personal_zone -> profile -> view_edit_complete -> edit(avatar/pictureURL) -> custom_avatar -> [paste avi-image URL] -> update_avatar
Hope that helps!

No problemo!
I will try it again....that's what I thought I did a couple of times...may have missed a step!

Can we talk about what we sell here. I am curious what y'all sell. I don't have a clue what you're doing. Or if we can't how can we communicate to get a look? I might want to buy something you have.

N -- oops! Not sure what happened but your avi's gone now. This is just a guess but...
When ' selecting ' the URL to 'copy' (use <ctrl>-C ) into the clipboard...be careful to highlight the img-URL starting Only from the 'http:' specifier. In other words.. highlight & copy the string similar to this: [ http://img.auctiva................ .gif ] and watch that you don't accidentally include any spaces or other chars preceding the [ http:// ] part.

G'morning everyone,
I just had to bump 'our' thread to the top again. I found another pic of Choo before he's had his yearly haircut and root canals (oh he's gonna kill me)



(Thank you Thurston) Our Auctiva member Thurston has an emotopic website...some funny stuff.

N, I don't know what everyone else sells, but Choo sells sexy mens thongs in neon colors

Gawwwd Missy!!!.... That's terrible!! (i'm gonna' go hide! ~~ Not my fault Choo!!) Missy's a mite 'impish' this morning!!

She's obviously just received the consignment she ordered last week, delivered in a discrete plain brown crate

Yep, master that and you can sell anything

Weel I'll go 't bottm of oure stairs

With a low key UK site I am getting first page entries on a UK Google search on two of my items whereas my closed greedbay store still has an entry about 14 pages down a Jeeves (Ask.co) search. About normal from what I remember, not bad considering I have only been with this other site for a month and I closed my greedbay store before the end of November last year.

The greedbay hit was based on meta tags (the buried information picked by by search engine) that you can enter when 'editing' your store.

Just how invisible is a greedbay store, anyone else find their store or SIF items show up well on Google or any other engines ?

After all Google is as much a household name in search engines as greedbay and Hoover in their fields so that is rather a good start especially as it costs nothing until a sale occurs !!

Gotta get me a domain name, that needs creativity to think of an unused relevant name, now where did I put my creativity . . .

Hey there Choo,

You're certainly not using up all your creativity on me, I always expect much more retaliation than I actually get
("that would not be good enough")

Seriously tho, you're lucky that whatever you sell can be put on other sites...my stuff that's been on 2 other sites for over a week now has only had 5 views If it were on ebay right now it would have already sold for much more than I expected with a few hundred views total. Sigh...guess I'm stuck on ebay for awhile yet.

Would you like ME to help you with a domain name, hmmm???

You gotta be kiddin' you'd get me kicked off the internet let alone an auction site

Sounds like you have two options, diversify starting with that crate load of goodies I sent you or set up a website, even just one page to use purely as search engine bait which is what I think I will try for first. Then develop it for actual selling in it's own right. On your own web page you could link to any online sites you are actively listing on.

A further option is to include flyers in your goods sold on greedbay with links to the other sites or even send out custom e-mail dispatch notes with hyperlinks

So keep nominal sales on greedbay to farm buyers, seen that mentioned on one of these boards recently. Trouble is if view rates are low virtually need to BIN rather than auction

ZZZZZ time 'til tomorrow's pick on poor little choo session

I don't see how a crateful of inflateble dolls will help me But thanks, I like the fact than they're both male and female...some from your own collection perhaps????

Oh, there won't be a ""pick on poor little Choo"" session til LATE tomorrow. (Lucky you, I won't be around during the day)

I'll have to leave it up to Zebra, Taz, N, and any of the others.....c'mon folks I need a stand in

Till tomorrow Choo

Me neither but you must have ordered them, not for me to question Madame Raticle

c'mon folks I need a stand in Wink

So now you want me to send another crate full, never heard them called that before

Hi N, I think Ms Raticle is having a mid life crisis here

Oh, whewChoo, I thought it was true about you.

I'm baaaack...

Maybe we should gang up on N, she believes anything (kidding N!!)

~Choo sent me ( unsolicited I might add) a crate of inflateable dolls, along with some samples of mens thongs...should I sell them on ebay? In the mature audiences category???

Choo, just wait til you see what I'm gonna send you

Choo that sounds like a great idea, but have you forgotten who you're talking to?
"Computer Clueless", that's me..I'll have to think about it. I'm lazy so I don't know if I would feel like learning all over again

For a one page search engine bait it is not learning all over again just learning more, strikes me that choosing a domain name and a decent site host are the most difficult parts, former needs creativty and the latter a touch of luck when unravelling the small print.

And please don't use the word 'lazy' in my presence I see and turn off help mode.
