eBay Live! 2008 Vendor Reviews

June 23, 2008

Without further ado, here are my personal ratings of the vendors I saw at eBay Live! 2008 in Chicago. Keep in mind these are just my opinions, take it for what it’s worth.

Best New Vendor : IMN, Sales in a Click. Great new service that will help eBay sellers to create an email news letter from their eBay/Prostore customer base and insert custom articles and content written by IMN each month.
Worst New Vendor: Bling It! Seriously, that was the name of the vendor. It was a product that will take an image with a white background and allow you to quickly and easily add a custom backdrop by removing the white. Think greenscreen technology or Photoshop. $49.95
Best Booth: Verisign. Clean, Simple and got the point across.
Worst Booth: Doba: There were so many bad booths this year. Last year Doba had a huge presence. This year it looks like the came without a booth and ran out to the recycling dumpster and grabbed some boxes. No hype, no real thought, no marketing. (probably no sales).
Best Giveaway/Swag: USPS :There really weren’t any stellar giveways this year, but the USPS spent some good money on stop watches, clipboard, calculators and duffle bags. All good stuff.
Best Customer Service: UPS: UPS had people everywhere. Very helpful and very knowledgable. Good Job UPS.
Most improved product/vendor: Auctiva. For a free product, Auctiva really has done a great job. They listen to their customers and have made some great improvements. If they keep this up they will have no choice but to charge because their product is almost too good to give away.
