Sad news – Easy Auction blog closing

easyauction — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:21:10 +0000

Well, this is it folks. The Easy Auction team are currently wrapped up in so many other projects that they have been unable to update the Easy Auction blog as much as they would have liked. We will still keep the website up and running, but we will shortly be redirecting blog traffic to the main website. We are sorry if this inconveniences you, but you will still be able to subscribe to Auction RSS feeds and contact Easy Auction via the main website.

We appreciate your support in this matter.

Looking forward

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year, and we at Easy Auction wish you all the best for 2010. We have removed the Christmas decorations from the website and changed a few things about – just minor changes. The “quick product selection” feature has been disabled, as we felt it detracted from the internet auction experience the site offers. We are currently looking at new additions to the unusual products section as well, and we will keep you informed if anything is added.

Quick product selector added and issues fixed

easyauction — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:11:32 +0000

A quick product selector has been added to the Easy Auction homepage. This will allow you to get straight to the internet auctions or sale you’re after without the RSS feeds, extra information about the products and refined selection that accompanies the normal products section.

Some minor website issues have also been fixed:

- UK mobile phone page text read “cell phones”, which is of course an Americanism and the incorrect term for UK users

- Shoes and clothing section now correctly titled and description matches the section. The previous version of this page contained a strange mish-mash of the intended information as well as information from the watches and jewellery section

- iPod and electronics text links now correctly target a new page, rather than opening in existing window

Daily deal now featured on main page

The main page of Easy Auction now features the daily deal promotion.

Easy Auction product pages complete

easyauction — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:01:48 +0000

Hooray! Easy Auction’s product pages are now complete, including the new other products page. In addition to this, a few minor changes have been made to the exotic and unusual product pages; it is henceforth known only as the (slightly) more snappy unusual products section. I have also fixed the address for the World of Good promotion. The plan for Easy Auction over the next few weeks and months is as follows:

- Complete sitemap

- Refine and improve written content so it is more user-friendly

- Increase range of unusual products

- Create a simple navigation to allow users to select an RSS feed based on product category, and go straight to that feed

- Write some more articles, for example one on eBay tools which should prove useful to eBay users

I’m sure you will enjoy the changes, and I will keep you informed as they happen. Thank you for your continued support of Easy Auction.

Watches and Jewellery (plus fixed article)

easyauction — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:59:49 +0000

If you’re looking for some stunning jewellery or a stylish watch for yourself or a loved one – look no further. Easy Auction has launched its spectacular watches and jewellery section, just in time for the Christmas rush! So if your other half is nagging you for that lovely shiney diamond ring but the price is making you sweat – click here NOW!

In addition to the watches and Jewellery section, the Easy Auction RSS feeds and navigation article has been updated with the new version. For some reason the article featured and uploaded to Easy Auction was the old version, with several mistakes and, ironically; a broken navigation.

Exciting Easy Auction updates

easyauction — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:18:19 +0000

There have been several major updates to Easy Auction, including:

- New shoes and clothing section. This section is a little more extensive than other Easy Auction product sections, owing to the likely popularity and demand of the section. The UK section, for example, features the fabulous Littlewoods clearance store which sells fabulous high street shoes and clothing at massively discounted prices (up to 80% off). The importance of the World of Good section with respect to fairtrade, ecofriendly and responsible clothes shopping is also noted.

- The Easy Auction homepage has been updated to include an ‘easy auction promotions’ section just above the eBay auction news, in the right hand column. The current promotion is a $10 off at World of Good promotion which Easy Auction is currently running – the World of Good product page, contained in unusual products section has also been updated to reflect these changes.

- The World of Good page banner at the top now directs people to the $10 off offer than is mentioned. The bottom banner has been removed, and replaced with an excellent little widget which displays the current favourite products available at World of Good; it’s well worth a look!

- Several errors have been corrected on many pages of the website and several sections have been reworded. The Easy Auction homepage, for example, should be easier to read but also more informative.

- Several main pages on the website now include a nice little Christmas tree icon at the top to make the website look slightly festive

Product page issue fixed – event tickets

easyauction — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:58:45 +0000

Just a quick note to let you know that a small error in the product page has been fixed. The event tickets section should now be working as normal.

eBay Top Rated Sellers

easyauction — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:20:25 +0000

In October, eBay launched a new “top rated sellers” initiative to try to highlight the crém de la crém to trustworthy sellers. I have updated the ‘why trust eBay’ article to reflect these changes and offer users more information about the eBay top rated sellers initiative.

Server updates this weekend

easyauction — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:53:06 +0000

There may be some minor disruption to the Easy Auction website and blog this weekend, as the host servers are being updated. The good news is that after the updates have been completed, the website should be faster and more responsive than ever. The other good news is that the mobile phone (cell phone) product section is currently under development and should be released shortly.
