Lol I remember that :comp5:. it can be a bit frustrating staring at the computer all day.

Quick update: bought the domains .net and .org

Why waste more money on a site with 0 traffic?

Re: Auction site back up
 

That is true and good question, I don't know why I bought it I just felt like it lol

Re: Auction site back up
 

I totally understand buying a domain to experiment with. Back in the days of Myspace I owned a customization site. It never got more than 50,000 views per month or so, I primarily just used it as a platform to practice PHP and ASPX (back when people still messed with that, lol).

You ought to apply you skills in an area where you might actually be able to turn a profit. Ebay and Amazon have the 3rd party seller ecommerce market on lock, so you might as well give up on getting into that unless you have millions of venture capital to play with.

Update: Just bought some low budget advertising for this site I think is more effective than Adwords and should be up and running in a couple of hours

Edit: Going full-time advertising on this site with time breaks

webstore is an absolute mess with staff who can barely speak english. please don't aspire to be such an unholy waste of space on the internet

Re: Auction site back up
 

First time I've heard of webstore.

Re: Auction site back up
 

I'm just saying man, if you're going to sit at your computer making websites, at least make sites with a potential for profit.

Even if "item-auctions" takes off and becomes the next Ebay, how would you make even enough money to cover operating expenses? Selling fees is where Ebay makes their money. If they put a bunch of 3rd party google ads all over Ebay as an alternative revenue stream, people would stop going to Ebay.

Have you looked into affiliate marketing? I'm extremely new to the whole concept but I hear Aspkin is an expert. People report making 1000's of dollars per day, somehow. It's at least a way for you to make some money while perfecting your skills.

I like making money :thumb:

Re: Auction site back up
 

I can understanding aspiring to be like a website.. but ripping off their entire site ain't cool.

From your site:
At Itemauctions buyers and sellers can come together and trade just about anything without membership fees, bidding fees, or selling fees. You can find great bargains at Webstore because sellers don't have to mark up their products to cover fees and percentages typically charged by other online marketplaces. Join the excitement of a low winning bid on an auction item, or purchase instantly from the hundreds of thousands of fixed price items.

Why? What's the purpose? I'm trying to see your perspective but I can't see any potential...

Re: Auction site back up
 

Update: fixed all the errors in error_log file eating up disk space and solved a problem with image borders, the site is now error free from the back end configurations

Re: Auction site back up
 

How's traffic looking so far?? Good idea to start this, especially with a lot of new users who may not want to put the time into stealth ebay
