List’d – An Ebay Seller’s Dream

ajvchuk — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 16:41:19 +0000

From the List’d homepage:

eBay provides a platform that makes it easy to make money, so why is it so hard to list something?
We felt it was time for a change: There had to be a better way to create eBay listings, and List’d is what came out of it.
We do all the hard work for you, making it a breeze to list almost anything in the world’s biggest online marketplace.
Itâ€™s all FREE so give it a whirl and tell us what you think.

Being an ebay seller myself, I know this concept is going to be a major success. Posting an item on ebay has always been a hassle, and anything that alleviates that pain will go over well with the general public. Years ago we created a AJAX ebay template just like this for personal use, and it has saved us hours of time. The fact that List’d is providing this service to others free of charge essentially makes this a home run waiting to happen. Ebay is always slow and clunky, and with AJAX and List’d you won’t have to experience that!. No more going through 5 page loads just to get one auction up, no more crashing your firefox right before you are done! Hopefully this program will spread to the ebay community ASAP! The only reason it won’t be a FAST success is the general public’s lack of technological knowledge.

What’s a Sudoku?

Sudoku (??, su-doku?), also known as Number Place, is a logic-based placement puzzle. Completing the puzzle requires patience and logical ability. Although the puzzle was first published in a French newspaper in 1895, it underwent a revival in Japan in 1986 and attained international popularity in 2005.
