Comment on Soul destroyed Hush Puppies by Mike

Mike — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:03:17 +0000

Bad luck! I own three pairs of Hush Puppies that I’ve been wearing every week for four years, walking mile after mile. They are the best shoes I’ve owned. More expensive brands have needed new soles during that four year span, but the HPs are seemingly indestructible. I once had a pair of Geox combust on me the first day I wore them… and Geox are considered pretty good. I think you just had bad luck. Any manufacturer screws up once in a while.

Comment on How do ebay justify such high fees? by Chris

A year on and a fair few more sales on eBay and I have to agree that even with the crazy fees that eBay charges, the price that you can get for most things is slightly unrealistic anywhere else. The logical explaination is exactly as you say, you reach such a big market that you can find several people that want the seemingly unwanted.

I think I’ll agree then, that the fees are worth it if expensive, but will raise a new question – are high ebay fees raising the cost of online aution sites or are they still simply ruled by the market that will pay anything!?

A rather late reply from me, but I would look at the business model that you use and see where you can provide free content and where this can lead to a need or desire for premium content. This is clearly a well documented ‘freemium’ model and seems to work very well. Locking all your content down behind a paywall is going to stop all new business in todays open society so a mixed approach seems sensible.

Maybe The Times are too big to worry about it, maybe News Corporation should start rethinking its own business models, who knows!?

Hi, just my opinion, the fees on eBay may seem high but your item gets better exposure and (theoretically)more dosh.

You seemed to have been ripped off with the postage, could have been researched before listing.

I think the biggest pain with ebay is that is populated almost entirely by half wits who “buy” things and then don’t pay.

I’ve just “sold” a sofa on eBay only for the “buyer” to ring up and tell me he hasn’t got a van and can I deliver it to him for nothing – chimp.

I’ve started a blog on eBay, check it out :-

A week later and it’s still not working. Have they done this deliberately to prevent more users while it’s in its teething stages? If so they should at least have a sign up on the site saying so.

We have used paywalls in our company as we cant afford to give away the content due to the initial cost of creating it. Going forward I am unsure what to do as take up has not increased, but we need revenue?
