Welcome To The Selling Lounge!

We are a friendly forum where sellers help sellers to help our/your online E-Commerce Business grow by having a place of resources and support along with help in promoting ourselves and each other.

I have been selling on line since 2003 in which I started out with eBay where I was doing very well as a Powerseller until all the fee hikes and changes. I then opened up my first Website almost 2 years ago and have been a member of a few very nice informative E-Commerce Forums and have learned so much about this new world of online selling that I wanted to have all my information in one place to help me succeed and by doing that helping others at the same time.

I have noticed that there is a ton of information out there on the net to help us become successful business owners and there are certain things that we must do in order to get our products out there and noticed and to get the buyers to us.

So I'm hoping that we can all share with each other "our tips" of "what works" and "what does not work".

Cqout was featured on BBC2's Working Lunch last week. The site said it's up to 920,000+ live listings. Director Tony Newton said CQout is powering a new site (www.forcesbid.co.uk) (not owned or operated by them) that seeks to generate funds for the Help For Heroes campaign.

iOffer announced that international buyers can now conveniently browse the site and view item listings in their local currency. Users may click on the country name on the top right side of the page to update their country setting. "Prices are adjusted and estimated based on daily exchange rates. However, all negotiations and transactions are still completed in U.S. Dollars."
