Amazon planning to offer Auctions..
from the island-hopping-we-go dept
In another move to become the Goliath of eCommerce, Amazon makes a move into the Auctions.. they plan to have "verified users" and offer up to $250 in protection to jilted buyers.. I think that the auction community bit might be a good addition to PlanetAll.. I sure do love eBay though.Amazon's been on a rampage lately, also investing in Pets.com.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
