Comment Use ebay *and* google base to sell the same item! (Score 1) 337
As far as google base competing with eBay or craigslist, what I want to know is... Whats to stop people from using both eBay *and* google base?
I just went through a test run on google base, and all of this seems to work perfectly and not be against any rules. When you make a google base entry, you can choose to have anyone finding your listing in their search results be forwarded to the page of your choosing, containing information about your recipe/car part/job/interesting hangnail.
As of now, you pay no fee for google base, and there is no framework that creates an obligation to buy or sell anything. So, after creating your eBay listing, what's to stop you from creating an identical google base listing, and then have it direct people to your eBay ad? A second free source of visitors!
Sounds pretty good to me :D
