Basically, I understand why eBay made this move. I just think the way they  sprung it on us was, well&#8230; infuriating.  We can do what we can to persuade them to repeal the decision, but I doubt they  will. But what I think we really need to focus on is evolving.  I&#8217;ve got very specific plans on how we can (all of us digital retailers)  actually turn this problem into an opportunity. I&#8217;ve written about it in depth  on my website <a href="http://thedigibay.com">http://thedigibay.com</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m an Internet Marketing Coach and I have a soft spot for everybody who is  busting their butts to sell stuff on eBay. I started a lot of my newbie students  out on eBay. And have since taught them to build a more solid business model,  and work on multiple revenue streams.  Probably the most important takeaway I can give you right now, is that if you&#8217;ve  been selling on eBay for a while, you&#8217;ve already got one of your greatest  assets.  A LIST OF BUYERS. As we all know, a list of buyers is exponentially more  valuable than a list of prospects.  I propose that we all extract the names, emails, and product purchase details  out to our bulk mailers. Then, setup a &#8220;coming soon&#8221; page website with an optin  form. Work on making the new site a respectable looking shopping cart behind the  scenes. While building a buzz with our list about our upcoming website launch.  I expect to have a nice big pay day in a few weeks when I relaunch the  information products part of my business on a new site.  If you&#8217;re really feel stuck in the mud, and aren&#8217;t 100% sure how you should  proceed from here. You might want to subscribe to my newsletter. In each email  I&#8217;m going to spell out, step by step what me and my friends are going to do. I  won&#8217;t be hiding any secrets from you guys, because I truly want us all to be  successful.  In case you need it again, here&#8217;s that address, it&#8217;s the easiest way to get in  touch with me: http:<a href="http://thedigibay.com">//thedigibay.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="120" height="90" align="left" imagescaler="http://nowyoucandoit.com/wp-content/imagescaler/138011246bc0f117a181790eea8e6c22.jpg" src="http://nowyoucandoit.com/wp-content/imagescaler/138011246bc0f117a181790eea8e6c22.jpg" alt="" /> I&#8217;ve played around with the Google Product  search stuff (for sellers the interface is called Google Base) before and it was  pretty easy to get started with.    I like the way that end users can add stuff to a cart called the Shopping List.  I guess it&#8217;s more like Amazon wish list tool.  You can even share your wish list  with people.    And of course it&#8217;s powered by Google search so people can find stuff pretty darn  easy. It looks like they&#8217;ve recently improved the interface some so that product  listings are more user friendly too.    So lot&#8217;s of nice features for shoppers.  Now the seller tools are really cool.   In fact, I&#8217;m going to record a screencast on this to show you how to setup up  shop from start to finish.  Including how to setup a data feed.  One cool thing that I like is that many shopping cart programs are compatible  with Google Base (The seller&#8217;s side of Product Search remember?)  What this  means is that when you create a new item in your website&#8217;s shopping cart, it  automatically feeds it to Google Product Search.  So your products are listed in  both places.  Pretty darn cool right?  Well, I&#8217;m also going to be doing a round up of my  favorite shopping cart applications like Shopify.com,</p>
<p><a href="http://nowyoucandoit.com/web-design/">WP-eCommerce,</a></p>
<p>Zen Cart,  osCommerce, and others to help you guys pick one that&#8217;s right for you.    If you want repeat buyers that come to you for the first time through Google  Product Search, you really want to have your own website with a shopping cart.    Watch for the videos (coming soon) at my website <a href="http://thedigibay.com">TheDigiBay.com</a> and you&#8217;ll see it&#8217;s pretty darn  easy to setup.  It takes a little work, but it&#8217;s time well spent.    I mention this in like every post, but I&#8217;m not sure if you guys realize what a  powerful asset you have in your mailing list.  That is the list of names and  email addresses of people who have already bought stuff from you.    If you master the skill of building and managing your mailing list, and  interacting with your subscribers, such that a relationship and/or a bond is  created; as long as you are being cool to these people providing value to them,  you can have a steady flow of buying customers&#8230; for life.  I love posting in the forums, but if you want detailed step by step strategies  to help your biz survive, thrive, and evolve through this debacle you&#8217;ll get  tons of help at my new site: [url]http://thedigibay.com[/url]  It&#8217;s also the easiest way to get in touch with me if you need help, just post a  comment.  Ok guys, stay up!    Glen McNiel TheDigiBay.com  P.S. Dude, I almost completely forgot to give you the links for Google Base and  Product Search.  Here ya go: Google Base &#8211; http://www.google.com/base/help/sellongoogle.html  Google Product Search &#8211; http://www.google.com/products</p>
