Bill Clark, an analyst on PayPal's risk team, wrote, "We've heard a lot of questions from sellers about reserves, so I wanted to explain what these reserves are and why PayPal requires them on some accounts."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PayPal began instituting two types of holds on eBay sellers' accounts to mitigate risk. One is called a "rolling reserve," the other is a 21-day hold. In the blog post, Clark said it instituted rolling reserves "for a very small percentage of our sellers - currently less than 1%." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does PayPal institute rolling reserves? "This reserve helps to ensure that money is available in sellers' accounts to cover potential payment reversals or chargebacks if they do not have enough funds in their PayPal balance to do so. When sellers don't have the funds to cover their transaction liabilities, PayPal is responsible for reimbursing buyers which represents a significant cost in our system. We've been using reserves for some time in other parts of the business, and what we've found is that reserves help PayPal control costs so we can provide competitive pricing for all of our sellers, and continue to invest in improving our service."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does PayPal determine when to institute a rolling reserve on a seller's account? "To determine when to place a reserve, we look at a number of factors that may increase the risk of chargebacks or reversals - things like industry categories that have higher-than-average chargebacks, or sellers who are new to PayPal (where we've historically seen a higher instance of chargebacks or reversals). We reassess risk factors periodically, and if we determine that the risk has gone down in certain seller segments, we will release the reserve."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clark did not address the 21-day holds for eBay sellers introduced in January 2008 (link), but PayPal had explained the holds last year in an interview on the eBay Ink blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sellers use payments from orders sold to pay suppliers, employees and overhead, and like other individuals and small businesses, often have cash flow issues, so any hold on payments from customers or account balances is of concern to them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A common concern from eBay sellers is that PayPal is earning interest on the held funds. Clark wrote, "If the seller is enrolled in the PayPal Money Market Fund, then this money will continue to earn interest while it's in reserve."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689566366378831767-2250434664507014534?l=closeoutdirect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/feeds/2250434664507014534/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/2009/06/paypal-updated-is-reserve-program-wow.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7689566366378831767/posts/default/2250434664507014534'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7689566366378831767/posts/default/2250434664507014534'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/2009/06/paypal-updated-is-reserve-program-wow.html' title='Paypal updated its reserve program wow'/><author><name>CloseoutJoe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14821510414263593563</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6PErnixUQE/Si1SFlHGc1I/AAAAAAAAABI/-vpSSjjHTRI/s72-c/bill-clark.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689566366378831767.post-8735084308703645442</id><published>2009-06-08T10:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T10:54:55.244-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wow Apple Laptops Huge Price Drop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6PErnixUQE/Si1QXQkyIkI/AAAAAAAAABA/pdKRJ133mdE/s1600-h/1199.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6PErnixUQE/Si1QXQkyIkI/AAAAAAAAABA/pdKRJ133mdE/s320/1199.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345016693275107906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apple just announced a spec bump for their 13-inch MacBook that brings it into MacBook Pro territory, and the MacBook Air got a whopping $700 price drop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 13-inch MBP gets the backlit keyboard, SD card slot and the option to be loaded with up to 8GB of RAM, just like its new big brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, the MacBook Air's base price just got dropped down to $1,499.

Under the revised agreement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buyers and sellers shall work in good faith during the resolution process to determine that the item is not counterfeit. &lt;br /&gt;If buyer and seller cannot determine that the item is not counterfeit, buyers are required to send the item back to the seller. Cost of return shipping will be paid by the buyer or eBay, unless both buyer and seller have agreed otherwise. &lt;br /&gt;Covered claims that meet the conditions and are not excluded will count as a violation by the seller of eBay’s prohibited and infringing items policy. &lt;br /&gt;If eBay determines the buyer is not acting in good faith, eBay may restrict or eliminate the buyer’s ability to return items or make future claims. &lt;br /&gt;Sellers shall not list, advertise, or cause that item to appear for sale, barter or trade on any eBay Inc. Web site or service. &lt;br /&gt;The new user agreement is effective immediately for new members registering, and on June 14, 2009, for current members. Customers who do not agree with the user agreement are advised by eBay to close their account.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689566366378831767-896042966916766841?l=closeoutdirect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/feeds/896042966916766841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/2009/05/ebay-revises-user-agreement.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7689566366378831767/posts/default/896042966916766841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7689566366378831767/posts/default/896042966916766841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/2009/05/ebay-revises-user-agreement.html' title='EBay Revises User Agreement'/><author><name>CloseoutJoe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14821510414263593563</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689566366378831767.post-332026752706531059</id><published>2009-05-21T14:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-21T14:57:56.503-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VerticalResponse.com'/><title type='text'>VerticalResponse.com</title><content type='html'>Wow just had such a negative experience with VerticalResponse.com So I asked them to close account which is less then 3 hours old...

Final Value Fees will be 8.75% of the sales price, capped at $20. Sellers must use eBay's Sell Your Item form or Simple listing form in order to be eligible for the new pricing. Any additional items sold during the same 30-day period will have the same Insertion Fees and Final Value Fees as they do currently. Sellers who use an eBay tool or third-party listing tools will not receive the special pricing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because eBay uses a tiered system to calculate Final Value Fees, the fees may be higher under the new fee structure - assuming the item sells - depending on the starting price and final selling price. Where the five free auctions incur an 8.75% commission capped at $20, the current commission is 8.75% of the initial $25.00, plus 3.50% of the initial $25.01 - $1,000.00 plus 1.50% of the remaining closing value balance ($1,000.01 - closing value). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the insertion fee is variable depending on the starting price, it's difficult to make comparisons. Sellers are using an online fee calculator to help them compare the rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;check out this cool ebay fee calculator&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rolbe.com/ebay.htm"&gt;http://www.rolbe.com/ebay.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ebay fees&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pages.ebay.com/sell/June2009/List5Free/index.html"&gt;http://pages.ebay.com/sell/June2009/List5Free/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689566366378831767-3903173273433917972?l=closeoutdirect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/feeds/3903173273433917972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/2009/05/ebay-giving-away-5-auctions-month-wow.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7689566366378831767/posts/default/3903173273433917972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7689566366378831767/posts/default/3903173273433917972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://closeoutdirect.blogspot.com/2009/05/ebay-giving-away-5-auctions-month-wow.html' title='Ebay giving away 5 auctions a month WOW'/><author><name>CloseoutJoe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14821510414263593563</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689566366378831767.post-4861573934117357815</id><published>2009-05-12T12:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T12:13:12.387-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Starting A Successful Internet Business Gaurantee</title><content type='html'>Is lack of money stopping you from owning your own successful &lt;br /&gt;Internet business?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If so, I've got something that's going to ELIMINATE that hurdle &lt;br /&gt;for you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've just heard from my friends at the Internet Marketing Center, &lt;br /&gt;and they've agreed to let me offer you a 30-Day Trial to their&lt;br /&gt;#1 best-selling profit system, "Insider Secrets To Marketing Your &lt;br /&gt;Business On The Internet!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for one full MONTH, you can have UNLIMITED access to the same &lt;br /&gt;step-by-step Internet business-building system that thousands of &lt;br /&gt;others have already used to make their fortunes online. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketingtips.com/t.cgi/1035437/coursetrial "&gt;GET YOUR BUSINESS STARTED RIGHT CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Activate your trial, and uncover easy techniques for finding &lt;br /&gt;lucrative markets with little or NO competition... for creating &lt;br /&gt;winning websites, even if you have NO technical experience... for &lt;br /&gt;driving throngs of eager shoppers straight to your new site (for &lt;br /&gt;FREE)... and MORE. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you can use as MANY of these proven profit-generating strategies &lt;br /&gt;to create YOUR new site as you *want*!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is your best opportunity to "test drive" the how-to system &lt;br /&gt;that's created more six-figure incomes online than any other -- &lt;br /&gt;WITHOUT RISK. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To activate your 30-Day Trial of "Insider Secrets," just follow this &lt;br /&gt;link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketingtips.com/t.cgi/1035437/coursetrial "&gt;GET YOUR BUSINESS STARTED RIGHT CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In LESS than 5 minutes, you'll have unlimited access to this entire &lt;br /&gt;system, so you can start YOUR new, highly profitable website TODAY! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketingtips.com/t.cgi/1035437/coursetrial "&gt;GET YOUR BUSINESS STARTED RIGHT CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

His latest book is called, "Selling Online 2.0: Migrating from eBay to Amazon, craigslist, and Your Own E-Commerce Website." Michael joins AuctionBytes.com Editor Ina Steiner to explain why many established sellers are looking for an alternative to selling on eBay and why he believes they should focus on Amazon, Craigslist and their own ecommerce websites. He also talks about the changing role of online auctions and reviews some major product categories and explains which marketplaces - including eBay - work best for each type of product, including antiques and collectibles, clothing, electronics and jewelry. Michael said having a business plan and a commitment to marketing is crucial to the success of any online seller who wants to take their business to the next level.
