Fair Trade: Auction Edition

So, it seems someone out there at eBay really is listening! Based on an AP article by Rachel Metz that came out today, eBay will make changes yet again. This time it seems they are trying to appease their upset seller base. They’re promising listing fee discounts and a new higher tier of PowerSeller: Diamond, […]

When I created this service, I didn’t expect to get the kind of response from our members that we’ve been getting. We’ve greatly appreciated both your praise and feedback. I also didn’t expect to get a call from the Wall Street Journal wanting to talk about our service, our members and eBay Live. I want […]

“Next item on the block is eBay auctions: Going once, going twice, gone - to the big retailer in the back.”Ebay is moving radically away from their roots – in what seems like a desperate attempt to boost their stock price. There’s a new sheriff (CEO) in town and all the mom-and-pop merchants who’ve made […]

Many of our members have asked us if they can link to our site from their eBay listings. While we see the benefit (as a deterrent against bad bidders) it is unfortunately not permitted. According to eBay policies, you are not allowed to provide links to external sites such as RepXchange.com in your listings.

Not a bad mark from one of the most prolific and […]

Thanks to Ina Steiner for her mention in Auctionbyte’s ”This & That” and also to Katherine Tyrrell for her thorough review in her blog, ”Making a Mark”. I sincerely appreciate their kind words and hope that the message is getting out to the […]

On RepXchange, eBay sellers may anonymously pool their blocked bidder lists, aka black lists, and extract a new, custom list of blocked bidders that fits their own business profile. Now sellers can weed out bad buyers, and by extension, avoid spending needless time on re-listing, or worse, filing dispute claims.

While we’re busy working on QA and final adjustments to our service - we thought it might be helpful to outsiders if we gave you a little glimpse of how RepXchange will look and function. Below are some links to a few videos that will describe some of its core functionality.
If you want to be […]
