ash — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 03:03:31 +0000

Finally, after several weeks of working on this, we have just released a new tool that can help you import your eBay© listings to Love2Trade free of charge.

We’ve also added a section in our FAQs that can help answer questions you might have about how it works.

If you have anything listed on eBay you owe it to yourself to check this out. It’s free, it will bring more visibility to your item(s), and it takes less than a few minutes to import hundreds of your pre-existing listings with a few clicks.

Spam & Fraud warning

ash — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:58:24 +0000

I’ve been noticing lately an increase in the amount of spam & fraudulent attempts with listings on Love2Trade. I just wanted to remind everybody to please practice caution when buying/trading…

If it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t!!

Again please take the time to read our quick guide that can help you identify scams.

Most scams on Love2Trade are focused around laptops, video game consoles, & cell phones/PDAs (IPhone, HTC..etc). The scammer promises to ship the item (usually from the UK) after you wire a down payment.
Not all electronics listing are fraudulent but unfortunately a lot of them are.

We do not tolerate spam or fraud so please help us by remembering to flag an ad as spam using the flagging feature in the bottom right corner of the ad details page. We do watch that very closely and pay attention to every submission (we really do try our best not to miss any). You can also contact us and let us know.

Never wire funds or accept checks. Never give out any financial information. Avoid deals that involve shipping or escrow services.

Excluding etsy from Love2Trade search engine

I’m sorry to announce that we have excluded etsy shops from Love2Trade’s search engine.
Although we’ve received mostly positive input from etsy members, there were several requests for removal of items on Love2Trade. Since there is no way for us to exclude specific etsy shops via oodle, we have decided to completely filter out etsy. Please allow time for search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo..etc) to reflect the changes we made to the system.

Etsy provides a fantastic service to a very talented group of people and as much as we would love to help and support their talent & business, and even though request removals should be done through Oodle, we have chosen to respect the removal requests of the others and the only way was to completely exclude Etsy.
