PowerSeller revolt looms as eBay CEO Donahoe tinkers with business model

Online auctioneer eBay's legions of sellers are digesting the likely fallout from a significant raft of policy and fee changes announced by company CEO John Donahoe today. The quick and dirty version -- kiss the old, quirky fun eBay (EBAY) goodbye and say hello to a site that looks a lot more like Amazon.com. I spoke at length to Ina Steiner, editor of AuctionBytes.com, a noted eBay expert who has been critical of the website at times.
Steiner has a decidedly opinionated take on the likely impact of the changes, which she sees as both carrot and stick. "For companies that are selling one-of-a-kind items such as antiques or rare jewelry, these rules could have a really negative impact," says Steiner. That's because the company will now offer a higher 20% discount on fees paid to eBay for its new Top-Rated Sellers category who have the very best customer ratings, while offering a diminished 5% standard PowerSeller fee discount to longstanding vendors whose customer ratings don't qualify them for the higher discount.
The move underscore the dilemma CEO John Donahoe faces as he tries to move the company away from a maxed-out auction model, to a more staid e-commerce platform without causing faithful eBay sellers to bail out in droves.
The fee discount difference can mean thousands of dollars in extra costs or extra savings for many eBay sellers. To access the newly created Top-Rated Sellers category, eBay merchants must have virtually zero negative feedback ratings from customers. This is not a problem for buyers of items such as electronics or office supplies.
But it will hurt eBay resellers moving quirkier or more unique wares, says Steiner. It's much harder for vendors to move specialty items and avoid all negative feedback. That's due to the inevitable disconnect between buyers' expectations and the reality of their purchases, which many times are not always exactly what they imagined or equal to what they saw in an online photo. For vendors of unique wares, making disgruntled customers happy through discounts or refunds may not be an option. "They want sellers to do what it takes to make a buyer happy. On eBay, that's not always a practical approach," says Steiner. "Sellers who are selling valuable antiques or high value item, its not as easy to say, keep it and I'll refund you because you are complaining."
She also noted that new search results pages on the website will look a lot more like Amazon results pages, with a product description, some product information, and a "buy box" with two or three leading eBay merchants. Links to other eBay merchants will be lower down the page. And, Donahoe has announced that eBay is aggressively moving toward more fixed-price item sales, much like Amazon.
Not that Donahoe has a made a secret of his intentions to abandon eBay's core to become a more polished e-tailer. Donahoe is on a mission to make eBay ubquitous with a massive keyword acquisition strategy to goose search engine results for eBay items. He's going to need all the help he can get if traffic to eBay continues to fall and faithful sellers abandon ship for greener pastures at niche auction and e-tail sights like GoAntiques and Etsy.com. And there is cold comfort in locking horns with Amazon, an online retailer that has increasingly sucked up a larger percentage of the e-tail market. But judging from its recent earnings call, eBay's management team sure seems eager to get into that race.

Big Ticket Depot Marketing
From: Brad Harris/VP BTD-BVDDate: July 21, 2009Time: 11:47 A.M. CSTTo: 300 Elite TeamElite Team/Marketing Info-Strategy-From CEO
Good Afternoon 300 Elite Team,
It has been several weeks since I have sent out a communication to the team. Your CEO/Joel Sauceda has put together some fantastic things utilizing FaceBook and IContact to keep this team up to speed every step of the way as we move forward with BVD/BTD. I have been extremely busy with new programming that is going to rocket us forward for the coming weeks, months and years.
There is not one thing that we are doing that has short term vision but only long term vision. Joel and I are not in this for just ourselves. We have built this vision around this team and what we ARE going to both give you to be successful and what we plan on doing for you.
This week marks the start of the rollout of new things which we know you both need and want to take your BVD/BTD business to the next level. What we have both already done and are continuing to work on, will also help us catapult your business as part of the 300 elite team. Know this..Not one of us will take this to the next level alone. It is as a team that will do that.
***New Advertising Banners***
This past weekend there was a communication put out which gave you a glimpse of all the new banners we created for your online advertisement. We displayed all of them on a webpage just for your viewing. What you didn't know was that we had already programmed these in your BTD affiliate back office.
Yes they are live and 100% ready to use. Simply go to your static banner link in your affiliate back office and then select all banners. We added 11 new banners which are for both BVD and BTD to the existing 8 banners for a total of 19.
As you will see they are 100% coded to send your potential client or new affiliate prospect signup to the appropriate page when they click on your banner. Each banner is also coded so it will track every single click to your client signup or affiliate signup pages.
THESE ARE LIVE!!! You can use them now.
***Coming Next***
There are several other new things which are also about to go live to help both you individually and us at corporate to do everything we are planning with our marketing campaigns.
1.) New Client Splash Pages: Many of you have already seen a glimpse of these (Both BVD and BTD client splash pages). They should be completely programmed into the system for your unique affiliate ID link in the next 2 days at the latest. Once that is completed, you will receive a detailed communication with all of that information.
2.) New Affiliate Splash Pages: These will come right behind the above Client Splash pages. They have already been created and now sent to the programmers for proper coding.
3.) Personal BVD and then BTD Webstores: This one is huge, and I mean huge. I am not going to go into detail on this right now, but will tell you this. The personal webstore and the packages attached to those are going to enable you with the ability to build big monthly residual commissions from your future clients. More to come in the next 7-10 days as this will go live by the end of July at the latest.
4.) New Client Training/Autoresponder System: We are in the process of putting together a new extensive autoresponder system for all of your future clients which you WILL HAVE with all which we have done and are doing. This will take them from being a new client just joining and listing a free item all the way to showing them how they can activate their own webstore and even become an affiliate.
***Until our Next Update***
As you can see there is and has been a lot happening. I look so forward to our next communication as we continue the unveil all the new things that are being completed.
Have an awesome day.

Big Ticket Depot/Big Value Depot 300 Team
From: Joel Sauceda/Big Ticket & Big Value Depot CEO Date: June 29, 2009Time: 12:00 P.M. CSTTo: 300 Elite Team
Good afternoon,
This week we will be setting up multiple rotator pages that are going to be inserted in the search engines and will be marketed on FACE BOOK, MY SPACE and many other social networking websites. We have worked out arrangements to cross link these pages and here is what it means for you as a 300 Elite Team member..Before the end of this email, I will be asking you to set up a FREE account with Face Book so you can help accommodate some of the enrollments we will get from that angle alone. You will understand why by the end of this email..
What does all this "marketing" we are doing mean to you?
Traffic to your websites and Commissions (money!)
The Plan Has IMPROVED Over The Past Several Months.. This has been done to make this even BETTER for you and easier for you to build a long term income and make UPFRONT money...
Our plan of launching Big Ticket Depot has evolved into something much greater than we ever dreamed and although it took more time& money, the final product is going to be worth the wait. I can tell you that our (YOUR) market went from 30% to almost 85% of people who will have an interest or NEED for what YOU will offer them. The way we are going to present this by use of SINGLE WEB PAGES that will GRAB peoples attention and SIMPLE WEB PAGES that will enable peopleto activate a LISTING VOUCHER (with YOUR code on it) to "TRY BEFORE THEY BUY" a listing will be TURN-KEY and SIMPLE. This will show them that they can do it and will make them WANT to join.
SIMPLICITY is KEY. We are working to make this program SIMPLE to understand and SIMPLE to market. We know that some of you may feel like your out of the loop but that is not the case. The marketing we are setting in place at our expense is going to benefit you tremendously and will not require you to go through a year of training. Our goal is to get each of you to the point of getting 3-4 enrollments a DAY or more..
What would that mean?
3 X $75 = $225 Per day X 30 Days= OVER $6000 per month...
How many of you could use that kind of income or even HALF of that kind of income? Or how about half of HALF of that kind of extra income? This is very realistic considering the MARKET CLIMATE and ECONOMIC CONDITIONS....VERY DOABLE.
What we are doing on our end is going to make that 100% possible and NOT "Pie In The Sky"..
Remember something...
People around the WORLD are interested in SELLING their OWN stuff...People in MLM's around the world are trying to SELL their products....People who own HOUSES, BOATS, etc..etc.. are DESPERATE to sell their stuff...
We have a HUGE market and to find 2-3 people a day on this thing we call the INTERNET (where BILLIONS reside), makes it POSSIBLE.
We are marketing something here that people want and people who are presently using Ebay and other listing options are looking for OTHER options. We are that OPTION.
I have NEVER doubted this idea/opportunity, I only WISHED the programming could be completed faster because I KNOW that we have a program that is going to GROW rapidly and so many of you are going to make a lot of money at..
I am here to tell you that I am behind this program 10000% and it was 100% my idea to launch this and I have NO DOUBT in my mind that what we have here is a HIT and will get HUGE!
The question is this...
WHO will be part of it and who will have the patience and staying power to see this idea that is ALREADY in action become a HOUSE HOLD name online...WHEN this happens this team will have been at the FOREFRONT and will reap the NEW enrollments and NEW clients and EVERYTHING else we are setting in place.
Remember, we did not launch this company as a PUBLIC company.. We launched this company with a 300 Elite Team who saw this vision before the websites were even built. You read and heard my idea online and you are seeing this roll out before your eyes. This IS going to be big and if ANYONE opted out they will want to OPT back in and fast. Nobody will want to lose their 300 Elite Team Status especially when you see how we are PROGRAMMING this system to CODEEVERY Vortex member who is in NOW and in the future to have a listing code and a position that WE will encourage them to activate by showing them step by step how simple this program is...
There is MUCH to go over and I appreciate you reading this far. I know that with the economy in such a downer it can get you down sometimes. We are all human but it is important to keep your eye on the FINAL GOAL. We have a PLAN here and we have never strayed from that plan.
My thanks goes out to Brad Harris (VP) who has put so much into making sure the programming is solid and our great web design staff who have been on top of this each and every day. I would also like to thank Manuel Oblitas and his staff who have put thousands of hours into developing this programs TECHNICAL side. You have no idea how much has gone into this and how FAR we plan on taking this program.
For now, I have some instructions for each of you...
FIRST and foremost if your account has lapsed for whatever reason, it is important that it is put back in qualified status. If your $39 monthly maintenance has lapsed, you will need to email Brad Harris at :
Admin@BigTicketDepot.Com
In your email subject line put : REINSTATE BTD
In your email put your FULL NAME
Brad will send you instructions to reinstate your account..You will not want to lose your 300 Elite Team status...
*********INSTRUCTIONS**********
I have been setting up MULTIPLE angles for driving traffic to YOUR websites. I will be deploying MULTIPLE campaigns and NO it will NOT cost you anything but TIME. We have budgeted for this marketing and as a 300 Elite Team member in good standing, you have EARNED it.
One of many angles I have set up is the Social Media Marketing angle....
I am sure everyone here has heard of Myspace, Twitter, FaceBook etc..
I have a plan that will drive THOUSANDS of people from those mediums to this team (YOU) BUT I need each of you to set up an account, FIRST with FACE BOOK...
Here is what I need each of you to do:
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
1. Go to FaceBook.Com and set up a FREE account (right hand side of page)..
2. AFTER you have set up a FREE account, send me a DIRECT EMAIL at the following account:
Joel@JoelSauceda.Com
(Some of you are with us in Max Life and I gave you all ANOTHER email account to send to for that)
In your email subject to me put "Face Book Account Established"
In our email put your FIRST/LAST name.
I will in turn send you a special link to join a special Face Book group with me. This is one way I will communicate with you and anther way I will send traffic to your websites..
This week we will be explaining the PERSONALIZED BTD & BVD Stores that each of you will be GIVEN! These stores will be a product you will be able to market and make HUGE residual commissions on. Who will be interested in these stores?
1. Small independent car, boat, rv dealerships..How many around the world? MILLIONS!
2. Antique shops, specialty shops
3. Current Ebay sellers..They will want to save money by setting up shop with us..
4. The MILLIONS of people on Craigs list posting items to sell...
This week we will show you how this part of the puzzle is going to attract people from around the world and how you will be GIVEN multiple SIMPLE one page websites that will invite them in...NO phone call sales required because our emails/social media marketing will do the work for you..
The vision is alive and well and you will soon see Vortex (the system that has BUILT Max Life and Big Ticket) evolve into a TURN-KEY system that will drive people into YOUR big ticket team and for youyeh who are part of Max Life, BOTH!
Have a great day and do not forget to follow the instructions above!

Affiliate Marketing Tools
3 Necessary Tools for the High Rolling Affiliate Marketer
What does it take to become a successful Affiliate Marketer? What are the ingredients of an affiliate marketing success story? Is there a shortcut to Affiliate Marketing glory? All these questions play around in the minds of affiliate marketers who want to make it big in this business.
Although affiliate marketing is touted as one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money online, it is not as easy as it sounds. The wise affiliate marketer plans every action and executes it the best way he can. He should also maximize the potential to earn by utilizing the right tools necessary for a successful Affiliate Marketing business. We have consulted some of the most successful affiliate marketers in the business and below are the top three necessary tools for a successful affiliate marketing business.
Important Tool #1: Your Own Website
The most important and indispensable tool in Affiliate Marketing is your own website. The first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website. Your website is the jump off point of all your marketing efforts. Thus, you must first build a user-friendly website, which will appeal to your prospects and encourage them to click on the links to the products and service you are promoting and make a purchase. Therefore, you must first concentrate your efforts in building a website that will cater to what your prospects need.
The most important thing you should consider is that almost all web users go online to look for information, not necessarily to go and buy something. Above all else, make your website full of original, relevant and useful content. People will love articles that are appealing and helpful. Keep in mind that, in the internet, content is still king and good quality content will not only build your credibility, it can also help you achieve a higher search engine ranking. By posting relevant and useful articles, you establish yourself as a credible expert in the field, making you a more trustworthy endorser of the product or service you promote. Establishing a good reputation is a good step in building up a loyal consumer base.
Important Tool #2: Incentives
Competition is extremely tight in the internet world. You must always be one-step ahead of your rivals to ensure that you capture a significant share of your target market. Therefore, you must use every possible means to encourage people not only to visit your site but also to click and proceed to the websites of the products and services you are promoting. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine. Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free softwares, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.
Important Tool #3: Link Popularity
The importance of driving highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be emphasized enough. The all-important web traffic is at the top of the list of the most important entities in the internet world. Attracting people to your site should be the first step you should carry out. Do everything to achieve a high search engine ranking. Link Popularity is one of the factors that search engines use to determine search engine rankings. Therefore, to enhance your link popularity, you must launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign.
One of the best ways to do this – at no cost at all – is by submitting articles, with your website's link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article sites. You will not only gain exposure, you will also have the opportunity to advertise for free, just include a link back to your site. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make your articles original, relevant and useful so that more websites will pick it up and post it.
These are but three of the many tools that an affiliate marketer can use to maximize earning potential. The possibilities are endless and are limited only by your imagination, creativity, resourcefulness and determination. You can always explore other ideas and adapt other strategies, which you think might help you become a high rolling affiliate marketer.

The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make your articles original, relevant and useful so that more websites will pick it up and post it.
These are but three of the many tools that an affiliate marketer can use to maximize earning potential. The possibilities are endless and are limited only by your imagination, creativity, resourcefulness and determination. You can always explore other ideas and adapt other strategies, which you think might help you become a high rolling affiliate marketer.

Big Ticket depot News
Good Morning Team,
**The FireWorks are About to Start**
While the 4th of July is over a month away, the Fireworks at BigTicket and BigValue Depot are about to start. As you know or should know we launched the BigTicketDepot store last week. What you don't know is everything else we have been doing which we will soon be announcing. What is happening and more importantly what is about to happen is going to be historical.
YOU as a 300 Elite team member will soon see that you made the right decision to be on this team. Now that both BVD and BTD are live we are ready to unleash everything we have put together for the extensive marketing campaigns which are about to take place.
For the few that didn't believe in our vision and chose to quit, I feel for you more than you know. However my focus is for those that did believe and are here with us TODAY. You have the vision and KNOW that VISION is about to become REALITY.
Mark my words right NOW. BTD and BVD will become a household name for people selling online this year. In my previous communication, I stated you had bought stock in what we are doing with BTD and BVD wether you knew it or not. The online selling market is primed for a new player to come to the table. We already know this through more testing and communication with EBAY sellers than you can imagine. What we have put together with BTD and BVD is the answer they are looking for.
**Question of the Week**
I have received so many incredible emails over the past week since we made the initial announcement that the BTD store was live congratulating us on achieving this historical milestone. I want to thank all of you as you know we have now completed the circle which will now catapult both BVD and BTD into the future.
While we made the BTD store live many of you have emailed me asking if you can market to BTD clients. Well it is official, the Green Light is on. Yes you can promote the BTD store as well as list any BigTicket items you may have to list. We also want your feedback on the BTD store as this will help us with the other many enhancements we are working on.
The bottom line is this. We already know through our initial beta testing of the launch of the BVD store what has been working. Over 900 BVD clients already and we haven't even pushed a fraction of the marketing buttons and tools we are about to enable you with. We will apply all of that to the BTD store and between the two will take the internet selling industry by storm.
**BTD/BVD Support Ticket System**
The new BTD and BVD support ticket system will go live either today or tomorrow. Support for your BTD and BVD clients is going to be vital as we move forward. When we throw the switch there will be a new support Icon in both your BTD and BVD client back office. All BTD and BVD clients will also have this icon which will then take them to the new support ticket system.
We tested multiple support ticket system software applications and believe the one we chose is going to deliver the optimum in support to your BTD/BVD clients.
**Get READY**
We have climbed a mountain to get to where we are at right now. While we have not reached the summit, it is right within our grasp. What we are doing right now will take us to the summit of the mountain. From there we will all prosper as BTD and BVD will continue to climb new mountain peaks.
As you know from our last communication, there are even more announcements we are going to make. I hope you are ready for an upcoming communication from our CEO Joel Sauceda. We would not be here if it was not for his vision when we started this journey with BTD and then BVD. It was this vision and your commitment to this team that is going to help us reach the peak of the mountain.
There is no stopping us now. YOU as a 300 Elite team member are along for the ride of your life. So buckle yourself in, You have not seen anything yet.
Have an awesome day.

Big Ticket Depot The Results Are In
The Preliminary Results are In**
The past week and a half have been very busy at corporate. The preliminary results are in. With the launch of the new Client listing system last week as well as the new client marketing page. The number of new clients registering and listing each and everyday is on the rise. This is going to continue to increase as we will soon provide you with additional marketing tools and training to work with.
As you know we had put someone on board full time to do nothing but market for new clients. Our team is working on analyzing the results of all the marketing tests which have completed thus far. We will soon be compiling this to a detailed of list of what has been working which will help to expand your current marketing efforts.
We have also seen some of the existing clients upgrade to the affiliate level. What is exciting about this is we are not actually promoting that to your clients yet. We just put it out there and some people are choosing to upgrade. Imagine what is going to happen when we put the system in place where we inform your new clients about the affiliate program after they register their client accounts.
All of this means one thing and one thing only which are potential commissions for you. What we have put into place gives you the potential for both client listing as well as client activation commissions. Is all you have to do is refer new clients and the system will do the rest. It's that simple.
**New Additions to BVD/BTD**
First, we are very close to launching the BTD Store. The programmers are finishing up some additions which apply to the BTD store only. These additions have a direct impact on your earnings potential on the BTD side which I will explain when we launch. I anticipate going live the very first of next week.
We are also implementing a new Support Desk system into the BVD store which will also apply the BTD store. This will be available through your BVD client back office when made live. This is a much needed addition to the store by which to assist you, your current clients as well as all future clients of BVD and BTD. This too should go live by the first of next week as we are finishing up the testing of the Support Desk system.
What we are seeing now is everything coming full circle. I have said it in my previous communications and I will say it again. We are just getting started. There are things already in place to enhance everything about the BVD store as well as the BTD store when made live that you do not even see or know about.
We have huge plans for our massive marketing campaigns which are sure to generate thousands..No Tens of thousands of organic clients for both BVD and BTD. We will in turn assign these clients to our 300 Elite Team Founders (YOU). It is through yours as well as our efforts that is going to make BVD and BTD a house hold name just like EBay is today. The only difference is we are set to do it in lightning speed.
Until our next communication, Have an awesome day!!

Gig Value Depot Is Out Of The Starting Gate With Great Success
Update from BTD Big Ticket Depot
"Good Afternoon Team,
I cannot tell you how incredibly excited and motivated we are at corporate with everything that has been happening. Motivation for us was never a question, but what we are seeing has increased that to a completely new level. We have been live with the first phase of the client side for just a little over a week now. In this short time frame we have seen not what has already happened, but what is GOING to happen. I will go into some details below.
**My Thoughts from the Heart**
Before I do that I want to share some thoughts with you and this is from my heart. There have been countless hours spent from both myself and Joel as well as our entire staff to get us to where we are at right now. We want to THANK YOU (The 300 Elite Team) for sharing in our vision. Yes some of these things took longer than we wanted but all for great reasons. Note that I said Great Reasons. There is not one thing we have done or are continuing to do which has any short term thinking. We are here for the long run and within a little over one week, we have seen that we were correct to do things the way we did.
What we have done and continue to do is not just for us, but also for You. It boils down to one thing and one thing only. We will not make money unless you are able to make money. Our business model for BTD/BVD is 1000% focused around the affiliates (YOU). That is why everything we are doing is for the long run.
For the handful of original 300 elite team who quit and lost hope, I feel for them. It was their short term thinking that will truly cost them in the long run. My focus is on all of you whom are with us now, and where we are going to take you as we now take BTD/BVD to the next level with the client side now approaching full launch mode. It is our long term vision as well as yours which will take this to a level we never thought would happen.
When I say long term, I am not just talking about 2-10 years down the road. I am also talking about the next 6-12 months if not sooner and what is GOING TO HAPPEN.
**Imagine**
-Imagine if EBay had the marketing knowledge, programming resources and web design resources we already have in place when they originally started. Did you know...EBay started through a one man operation software programmer who then listed a broken laser pointer (whatever that is) and he sold it. The rest is history there.
-Now imagine if they had the potential powerful affiliate program we already have in place when they launched.
-Now imagine if they had not only 1, but 2 marketing stores (BigTicket and BigValue) When they launched.
-Now imagine in the coming months and years down the road you are earning a 300 elite team founder pool commission from all client listings on both BTD/BVD stores.
-**Now imagine this** You knew about the above and joined as one of the 300 Elite team founding affiliate and quit. Well, this is not YOU and we are glad you are with us today.
If you cannot tell from the above, we are truly excited at what is happening and what is going to happen. There is not one thing that will stop this team from achieving great success immediate and long term. We are going to do everything within our power at corporate to make sure your success is the only option.
**What is about to Roll Out**
Let's move on to what we are about to roll out to give you what you need to work with us to make all of this happen. Our goal is to simplify and streamline how you acquire new clients and affiliates through BTD and BVD. Right now the BigValue store is the only one that is live. The Bigticket Store should open by the end of this week if all goes as planned.
**New Client Acquisition**
Let me share with you what has already happened in the past week and a half. As of this writing the 300 Elite Team (YOU) have brought in almost 250 clients to the BVD store. This again has shown us how simple we made this with the free listing codes we have given you.
Well we are going to make it even simpler. In the coming days, you will have a new BVD client marketing page which will make obtaining clients even easier. When they go to your new Client marketing page, they will absolutely want to register as a client through you and list on BVD. It gets better though. You will not need to actually give a listing code to your potential new clients. When they go to list their first item, the new system will automatically issue them one of your available listing codes. The new system will only do this for the first item they list, so if you wish to give them additional codes that is up to you.
This new system will automate everything for obtaining first time listing clients. We hope to have this live in the next 24-48 hours and will notify you when it is live and where to get your new client marketing URL.
**New Affiliate Acquisition**
As I mentioned above, we have already had almost 250 clients register through you with BVD. What we have not yet given you is the ability for those clients as well as future clients to activate as affiliates. Of course we all know what them activating as an affiliate means. Yes, a $75 commission to you.
Well that is all about to change. We have already completed the programming for this and are just testing a few things before we go live with this. In the coming days a link will appear on the BVD store which will explain the affiliate program. If one of your clients chooses to become an affiliate, the system will take them through the affiliate signup process and if they are your client will track the commission back to you.
In addition to the above, we are also going to be marketing the affiliate program for you to your new clients. As of now when a new client registers at BVD. They only communication we send them is an email notification with their client registration information. Once the affiliate system is in place, we will also have an auto responder system which will send them email notification(s) introducing them to the affiliate program opportunity.
We are very excited about this as we believe there will be many clients who will want to join the affiliate program side of BVD and BTD which in turn means immediate commissions to you.
**We are just getting started**
This is just the beginning of everything we are going to be doing with BVD and BTD. Everything I mentioned above will also be implemented into the BTD store which is almost ready to go live. There are so many other things we are working on which will enhance both the BVD and BTD system. Some of these things are already in place; we have just not turned them on. I look forward to sharing some of these things with in our upcoming communications.
The bottom line is this. Now that we have started the client launch, our goal is to give you every possible opportunity to earn a commission from the clients you introduce to BVD and very soon BTD.
I look forward to our next team communication which should be to inform that we have gone live with the 2 new systems above.
For now have an awesome day, and keep the new listings flowing at BVD."

Big Ticket Depot/Big Value Depot Press Release
Big Value Depot- New Auction Service
There is a new auction alternative for sellers looking to list their items and not pay the high fees that they have become accustom to at other well known auction sites.
window.google_render_ad();
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 28, 2009 – Calling all Internet Auction sellers. A new resource has been developed for people interested in a new Auction site has been launched. http://www.bigticketdepot.com/Aff/aw.aspx?A=51 contains information about every aspect of Auction including specific information about New Auction Website Alternative to Ebay. The website's Founding Member, Big Ticket Depot, explained why they felt it was needed. "The Internet is great, but the fact that there is so much information out there, it's not always easy to find what you're looking for when investigating Auction. This is why the website was created - to cater for people who didn't have a lot of time to search through thousands of sites". As there is so much information available online, it's not always easy to get to the bottom of a subject - and Auction is no different. Many websites are designed purely for the owner to make money without providing the user with much value. Whilst this is great for the owner, it just means that the average visitor wastes more time searching for something that should be accessible within a matter of clicks. Even though the website is extremely comprehensive, unlike some of its direct competitors in the same area - it is great alternative to paying high fees that you pay on most auction sites. The owner feels that you don't have to charge people outrageous fees to deliver an excellent quality of auction listing services. On average, visitors to the website stay for 12 minutes, which far exceeds most other websites, where visitors just briefly visit a single page then leave. Many visitors also commented on how practical it was to have all the necessary resources in one place without having to search around the Internet to discover what they needed. Please visit http://www.bigticketdepot.com/Aff/aw.aspx?A=51 to discover one of the Internet's new online Auction resources.

It was very important that youhad a system to manage these codes as you will beusing them yourself, giving them away and possiblyeven selling them.Do not worry as we are going to give you step by stepinstructions and training on the many differentoptions you will have with all the listing codes youare receiving. Much thanks goes out to both theprogrammers and those founders who have put inliterally hundreds if not almost a thousand hours oftesting to make sure we have few if any systemglitches when we throw the switch and go live for you.**How We will Roll Everything Out**As you know we went way beyond our initial plans whenwe introduced the full blown auction/listing side ofthings through BigValue Depot. This of course gave youmore options than you could imagine for obtainingclients to build your business. So there are actually2 sides of this which we will roll out, that being theBigTicket side and the BigValue side.-Phase 1 RolloutThe first phase of the rollout will actually be theBigValue Depot side of things. While you will actuallyactivate both your BigValue and BigTicket clientaccounts through the process, we will only make theBigValue side live at first. The reason for this issimple. Once we show you how to use BigValue Depot andteach you how to use the many listing codes you arereceiving. Working the BigTicket side will be aseamless process for you.-Phase 2 RolloutThe second phase of the rollout will then be theBigTicket side which we plan to roll out shortlybehind the BigValue side. As you will see BigTicketwill have a much different appearance than BigValue asit is focused only on BigTicket items and will giveyou what you need for attracting BigTicket onlyclients.With both systems combined, you are going to haveeverything you could ever need to attract clients nomatter what they are selling online. That along withthe many free listing codes we are empowering you withis a true formula for success.**Next Communication**I want you to get ready for what is going to be a veryexciting time next week. We have not specified theactual day we will go live, but it WILL happen nextweek. So stay tuned as we will be feeding you updatesas we approach that day.Have an Awesome Weekend!!Brad HarrisVP/Big Ticket-BigValue

Date: Febrary 23, 2009Time: 2:00 P.M. CSTFrom: Joel Sauceda/Big Ticket Depot CEOGood Afternoon,I have MUCH to share with everyone and everything isgood news for everyone on this team.First, I want everyone to know that we are steppinginto bigger shoes than we imagined. This project isnot a simple "Ditsy Doo" project. We are taking longerto launch Phase 1 because we wanted to make this evenBIGGER from the start for you. You are going to get SOmuch more than you thought and it is NOT going to costyou another dime. All you need to do is maintain yourmonthly maintenance and you will get everything we areabout to give you. We are making this a NO BRAINER forpeople all over the internet and remember....We areGIVING THIS TEAM EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER that comes ourway and they WILL come. We are giving 50% of ALLlisting fee's and OTHER charges that people are goingto GLADLY pay to THIS team. You stand to benefit fromus making this program MULTI-DIMENSIONAL from thestart. I made the decision to make this bigger for youand so if ANYONE is frustrated with the amount of timeit is taking, you can blame me. When you see that weare doing even MORE for you, that blame will convertto thanks because our intention and motivation is foryou. We WILL make this a HOUSEHOLD name site likeFacebook, Ebay, YouTube..We KNOW it can be done and wehave the TEAM to make it happen. Not to mention thehundreds of new people that are joining VortexEVERYDAY and those people will soon be NOTIFIED thatthey are part of this also! This is all comingtogether and I WISH I could sit down with each of youand express my enthusiasm and vision but time requiresme to focus right now and work side by side with theprogrammers to ensure this is done as CLOSE to perfectas possible. When "KINKS" arise we know you all willbe there to let us know (there will be kinks!).**We Are ALREADY Turning Heads And This Has Not EvenStarted!**This is something that is turning heads and issomething that I am SURE is going to take hold andgrow fast. This is taking longer to complete than wethought but then again, what we are going to give youas a 300 Elite Team member is going to be MORE than weoriginally said you would get by being on this team. Iwill go over some of that in this communication butfor the sake of time, I will be breaking this newsinto several emails so when we launch PHASE 1 of thelaunch, you will know EXACTLY what to do and we canALL do what is needed in unison. That is what willmake this program explode on the scene and we willhave hundreds of thousands of people jumping on boardwith what we are about to do...You will see!***Establishing A Big Ticket Depot Face Book GROUP and A TWITTERCommunication As Well***Some of you may not be familiar with Face Book orTwitter and that is fine but for you who are, we willbe setting up an OFFICIAL Facebook Group and TWITTERgroup that will unite the 300 Elite Team and give usyet ANOTHER way to communicate with you real time.***Voucher Listing CODES!***WHEN we activate the client side, I have some EXCITINGnews for everyone who is:A: On the 300 Elite TeamB: Current on their $39 monthly maintenanceOh before I go further, here is some GREAT news..ANYONE who joins you as an affiliate for the $99 and$39 monthly between now and the LAST day of March willbe elgible for the following as well...Here it is...As you know, people will PAY for listings in the futurebecause that is what they do NOW with EBAY and EVENCraigs List in some cases now (Craigs List is CHARGINGin some places now!). People are OK with paying forlistings so long as their items get exposure.Well here is some GREAT news for EVERYONE who falls inthe above categories...WHEN we unveil the client side of BOTH programs(BIGTICKETDEPOT and the TOP SECRET DEPOT (you willknow it soon!)) each person who has enrolled betweennow and the end of February will have....100... YES! ONE HUNDRED...Let me REPEAT... ONE HUNDRED LISTING VOUCHERSdeposited in their affiliate account!What does this mean?Let me put this in perspective.....Does EBAY let you list for free? And..Does Ebay let youkeep 100% of what you get when you sell something? NO.There is ALWAYS a way they are going to get SOME moneyfrom you for using them...What if EBAY gave you 100 FREE 30 day listings and youcould use them in ANY way you wanted to use them? ANDyou could keep 100% of whatever you got from a salefrom them? WOULD not happen...Period.We know...We know that it is going to take EVERYONE having theTOOLS and the AMMO to make this go FAST. It is goingto take having Listing Vouchers to GIVE to people sothey can SEE that your real before the spend money.The great news is we are GIVING ALL 300 Elite Teammembers and ANYONE who joins between now and the ENDof March (100) listing Voucher Codes to USE, Give Awayor even SELL! Whatever you want to do with them!The other part of this is the fact that we WILL becommunicating with the ENTIRE Vortex team (over400,000) and giving them ONE last chance to enter withthis benefit. This will benefit MANY of you and willcreate even MORE commissions for you!More good news..As a 300 Elite Team member (IN GOOD STANDING), you willCONTINUE to get 25 LISTING VOUCHERS EACH MONTH! Theselisting vouchers can be used to attract EBAY,Craigslist or ANY auction site customer YOUR way!Remember, ONCE they try us they are going to want toJOIN us!

Update From Brad Harris of Big Ticket Depot
Here is the latest update from the Brad Harris V.P. of the BigTicketDepot:
"There is really only one word to describe how things have been as we prepare to launch the client side of BigTicket Depot and "Top Secret-DEPOT" and that is BUSY. Launching Soon is not good enough for us right now and that is why I have literally been working 10+ hour days with the programmers of our software application for this. The one thing we will not do though is launch before we feel everything is fully in place. With how we are doing this there was a massive amount of extra programming which needed to be put in place and there was no other way to do it but the Right way.
The final programming we are doing now is really only the tip of the iceberg for what truly was put into the software application which will run the client side of BigTicket Depot and "Top Secret-DEPOT". We as well as you are very fortunate to have obtained this application when we did. There were literally thousands of programming hours prior to where we are today and that is what is taking us to a level we never imagined when launching the BigTicket Depot project. The investment we made to obtain this application is probably one of the best decisions we as company owners could have ever made for all of our futures.
When everything is rolled out, and that time is right around the corner. The ease by which you as BTD affiliates will be able to utilize and activate both BigTicket Depot and "Top Secret-DEPOT" client accounts will be worth all the extra hours we are putting into this right now. It will also be clear when you start referring new customers to BigTicket Depot and "Top Secret-DEPOT" and how everything will be tracked back to you as a BTD affiliate.
**BTD Back Office Updates**
Next week we will start to load the Client Side Training tutorials to your BTD affiliate back office. With the addition of "Top Secret-DEPOT" to the entire program, we will also need to expand all the means to help you obtain listing clients/customers as the realm of everything has not gone to a new level. This is just plain exciting as the potential for commissions is now going to be at a level we never imagined when we launched this project.
We will be continually working to bring more training and features to your BTD back office to give you all the tools you need to build a very successful BTD affiliate business."

Global Online Auction Tips for Buyers and Sellers
Online Tips for Big Ticket items on a Global Scale
Whether you are a seller or a buyer at online auctions, it's important to understand how auctions work and how to buy or sell products securely. While online auctions offer many benefits as well as an opportunity to buy and sell internationally, the business can be risky. In fact, online auctions rank near the top among consumer fraud complaints. Use the tips below to maximize your Internet auction benefits. Selling Big Ticket Auction Items Before starting an online auction business, you should understand your legal obligations. Carefully create "terms of sale" that explain what you expect from the buyer and what the buyer should expect from you. When describing items, be very descriptive. Include the condition of the item, any flaws in the product, and state whether it's used, new, or reconditioned. Be sure to price the item high enough to cover your investment, and include an adequate amount for shipping. Be very specific on shipping terms, your return policy, and any restocking fees. Also, always include photos with your items when possible. Auction items with photos tend to sell well. Once you've sold an item, be sure to ship it on time and give good customer service at all times. If accepting payments through an online auction, choose a method that will enable you to sell around the world. Some payment options are only feasible in your particular country. Many third-party online merchant services offer international payment systems. Find the one that works for you and your customers. Remember, with online auctions, you might receive orders from anywhere... Egypt, South Africa, USA, Kenya, UK, India, Indonesia, Germany, Argentina, France, Brazil, Nigeria, or anywhere in Europe. Buyer Auction Tips Buying from online auctions can be a great way to get quality products at low prices. Some BigTicket products you might find at an auction online include salvage items, real estate properties, cars, antiques, auto care products, computers, jewelry, electronics, books, clothing, and so forth. The possibilities are endless. If you're an auction buyer, observe the rules and terms of the auction online before placing bids. Keep up-to-date on auction news to become familiar with the latest trends. Make sure the item you are considering is what you're really looking for. Check out the description, photos, guarantee or warranty, condition of the product, size, brand name, and so on. Also, consider shipping into your cost and from which country the item will be shipped. If you bid lower than retail, the shipping charges could make the product cost even more than the retail value. Some sellers will offer free shipping with high-ticket items. Also, consider the seller's return policy, payment methods, and their feedback rating (if available). If no feedback is available, it's up to you to determine if you want to give the new seller a try or not. Be Safe as an Online Auction Bidder Protect your personal information. Never give the seller more information than is needed. Your social security number, bank account information, or personal login information to the bidding site or any other site should never be solicited. If the seller tries to obtain this information from you, turn them in to the bidding site for investigation. With these tips in mind, you can successfully start an online auction business or become a smart auction bidder. The opportunity for Big Ticket global auction business has never been greater than it is right now!

If the seller tries to obtain this information from you, turn them in to the bidding site for investigation. With these tips in mind, you can successfully start an online auction business or become a smart auction bidder. The opportunity for Big Ticket global auction business has never been greater than it is right now!

Big Ticket Depot Review Article
The Big Ticket Depot listing and auction site was created by Joel Sauceda. He is achieving what Ebay has not done well at–Cater to people with large, expensive items, provide a professional, personalized page, market it to millions, and do so for a cheap price. Currently people are stuck with inexpensive but impersonal Ebay, or professional, but outrageously expensive services.Big Ticket depot is well developed and based on solid business principles. Joel Sauceda has recruited well known people to done commercials, public radio interviews etc. On the BigTicketDepot home page, you can click to listen to Joel Sauceda on the radio. He’s been in MLM and other marketing activities, and has been around a while.
BigTicketDepot defines itself by offering professional looking pages to sell big ticket items at a reasonable cost to people advertising products. The way they’ve done this is to invest enough money to have professional software developers make a smooth bug free system (website, marketing tools) that will offer a system that is extensive and easy to browse, like Ebay, but is personalized to completely convey the quality of the expensive items that people want to sell. People needing to sell large items are strapped for cash and they certainly don’t feel like spending out huge amounts of money just to sell something that is already costing them too much. That’s just adding insult to injury. “Best of Both Worlds” is basically the theme here and, yes, they’ve done enough legwork and paid for enough talented people to have a system that actually delivers.To participate and make money, BigTicketDepot offers members ways to succeed with banners, consistent communication and professional services.One way that BigTicketDepot has tried to created an immediate success is to work closely with those brokers to get the word out and advertise the new site to the public. Brokers are able to create their own pages for selling particular niches of products and provide a personalized interaction with people. Such a large base of motivated people is, in theory, able to answer more questions, more immediately and increase the quality of the service.

Your One Stop Online Auction Shop - Finding That Perfect Auction Site
Selling through online auctions is a great way to earn extra cash or even start a full-time business. When you find your one stop online auction shop that's just right, it can become a very lucrative business. There are many auction websites, but you'll want to find a site that best fits your selling needs. Here are some tips.
Be an Auction Lurker
Before listing your items, observe the auctions for a while. See what's hot and what's not. Every auction site will have its own unique audience. Some will attract more of certain types of buyers than other auction sites. The auction company might advertise more to certain groups of people using banners or paid search engine listings. If you're selling wholesale products, then you will naturally want to list with an auction shop that attracts wholesale buyers who are looking for great bargains. If selling household items, you'll want an audience of people who buy household auction items.
Also, observe how the site operates on a day-to-day basis. Do the auctions seem to end with more bids on certain days of the week or a certain time of the day? For instance, auctions that end on late Saturday night get more bids than those ending on a Tuesday night. Lurking at different auction sites will help you find a one-stop online auction shop that's right for you.
Test Your Auction Items
When searching for your one stop online auction shop, try several test auctions with some of your items. Monitor the response as well as the amount of traffic the listings receive during the auction's running time. Many auction sites allow you to place a visitor counter on your auction pages so you can know how many people view your auction. If you sell many types of products, advertise several items from a few categories.
Minimize Auction Expenses
There are many online auction shops that offer free or low-cost listing capabilities. Some auction sites only take a percentage of each sale while others may charge a fee for each listing whether you sell or not. Those auction sites that offer free listings and/or only take a percentage of each sale are very beneficial to you as a seller. You only pay when you sell items instead of paying high fees just to advertise your products, so you are taking no risk when listing your items. Though these auction sites may have smaller amounts of traffic than the larger bidding sites, you might find the savings will make it worth your while. After all, auctions are supposed to be "bargain" sites, right?
Some auctions charge a fee AND take a percentage of each sale. These may have more traffic, but the charges add up in a hurry and every listing can become a financial risk when you're just starting out.
With so many options, you can easily find a one-stop online auction shop that fits your budget and listing needs. Use these tips to find that perfect online auction shop and sell those unwanted items today!

Big Ticket Depot adding auction site
BIGTICKETDEPOT ANNOUNCEMENT
Just announced an addition to the Big Ticket Depot business opportunity.
President of BigTicketDepot, Joel sauceda
**HERE IS PART OF IT**
There are several million people who list on services like EBAY. Not all of them list big ticket items but nevertheless they list and they PAY to list.
In other words, think about this:
1. People who have big ticket items to sell can list with you/us with the Big Ticket Depot. These people will get premium promotion of their big ticket item and will pay you and us for that.
There are MILLIONS of people trying to sell big ticket items so we will never run out of potential clients..
What if a person wants an ALTERNATIVE to EBAY or any of the other auction websites? What if we can offer them something similar but at a FRACTION of the price? .
****WE OWN THE LICENSING RIGHTS/PROGRAMMING****
Yes, the client side is taking longer than expected but for GOOD and PROFITABLE reasons for you and for us.
We just obtained the LICENSING and OWNERSHIP of a CUSTOM item AUCTION online system which will be ADDEDto BIG TICKET DEPOT! In other words, BIG TICKET item sellers will now have the OPTION of entering that item into an AUCTION environment online and for those people who have SMALL ticket items, they will be able to purchase an ANNUAL auction listing subscription.
Think of ALL the people who list on EBAY, AMAZON etc.We will have a price that they will realize is VERY reasonable and we will not NICKEL & DIME them with"fees" etc.
This is ALL being added to Big Ticket Depot
This ALONE could mean MILLIONS in revenue...
******IMPORTANT********
There are MANY things we are adding to Big Ticket
We are creating the 2nd SUB-300 Elite Team and we are extending this until Feb 8th. Let people know that they will get these benefits if they join as an affiliate by FEB 8th. In other words, many of the privileges you will have they will have by enrolling by the new deadline.
***This is a JOURNEY not a sprint***
This project is an ambitious one. We started this program with the knowledge that some things may takelonger to launch and because of the sheer amount ofprogramming involved it is something to be expected.When you see ALL of the different parts to this intheir finality you will be amazed and excited to havebeen in on this at the beginning.
End of the latest update.
