Still not launched? and not even an ETA? So much for launching at eBay Live...

Lesson: don't announce a launch until you're darn ready to release the thing...

fair point Josh, lesson learnt.

Sorry, don't mean to be a pain--- I was just anxious as your customers to see what the product really looks like (in a past life I did a fair amount of ebay stuff).

Hey Kul, it was good running into you guys at eBay Live. Unlike Auctomatic, we (mystorespace.com) went the guerrilla route that day :) Our story is at mystorespace.blogspot.com.

We also got swamped with requests for accounts the week after eBay Live. Working around the clock, we managed to launch our Beta two weeks later (also after having given more optimistic predictions up front - not the best way to go :).

Just emailed you guys with some ideas.

Nice I was working on the same idea a few months back. Is this like Viaweb?

edgeztv2• 19 years ago

Viaweb 2.0 :)

I'd be happy to discuss in more detail. Email: alex "at" mystorespace.com
