eBay Charity Auction - In Memory of Ruger

Hello Everybuddy!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the 3rd Ruger Memorial Auction by my dear friend docwoman, and fellow Doors2Stores member, of eBay Store Metro Retro Vintage NY has just been listed. It’s 100% proceeds to charity; Noah’s Wish, my favorite charity.



As you know, I don’t expect everyone to bid, but hoping my friends can pass the word to all their friends, click on "Watch this item" on the listing (top right of listing just above Meet the Seller) to try and get it to eBay's The Pulse, post a link in your private chat groups, blogs, or maybe even add the link/notice to your website (only if possible of course).

She has raised around $400 for the two previous year’s listings and something special she does in memory of Ruger who passed away on December 13 of 2004.

Updated Search Instructions and Print Screens

Be sure to drop by the Doors2Stores website.

Search instructions and print screens have been updated to continue to assist Buyers in learning how to find Store Inventory Items, eBay Stores and Doors2Stores Members.

Although we are thinking there will be more changes to the eBay site, and why we had been waiting, we decided to go ahead and make the revisions now.

Additional Traffic for Core Listings from Squidoo

We now have several lenses on Squidoo related to Doors2Stores, the main lens is Doors2Stores on Squidoo. And as you can see there is a Squidoo lens for each eBay category.

If you are a current member of Doors2Stores with the Doors2Stores banner in all of your eBay listings, and have lenses on Squidoo, I will be more than happy to include a link to your Squidoo lens and lensroll you as well.

To see an example of what I am writing about, refer to Doors2Stores CLOTHING, SHOES & ACCESSORIES listings on eBay. Jody, Deb and myself all sell in the Clothing, Shoes & Accessories category and you will see our Squidoo lenses in the "Featured Doors2Stores Members who list in this category" module, as well as lensrolled to the right side of the page.

So how about some additional exposure for your listings? Even if your listings do not show all the time on the lens itself, your own Squidoo lens will be on that page in two places (in the Featured module and lensrolled).

Before you contact me, please make sure to check that all of your eBay listings are 100% compliant with the Doors2Stores banner and that you list in the eBay category for the Squidoo lens you are contacting me under.

Detailed information and instructions are on each of the individual category lenses, which you should use as this identifies which lens you are requesting.

You must include in your email (using the Squidoo Contact Me link on the top left of each lens page)

- Your eBay ID
- Your eBay Store link
- Your Squidoo lens link I am to use
- If your lenses does not include a Contact me link, your email address

Please do not contact Doors2Stores directly as this is being done through Squidoo and it is much easier for me to keep my emails separate.

Do You Squidoo?

Squidoo is a free site where we create lenses (single web pages) that can direct Squidoo readers to our eBay Stores and hopefully turn them into Buyers! It's fast, fun, and free. And you can earn a royalty just for selling your OWN stuff. Wild. Get the basics on their FAQ page.

I just joined Squidoo in June and I've been busy, check out my lensography. After I finished creating all our business related lenses, I moved on to some fun ones, it really is quite addicting. Be sure to read My Squidoo Story!

You can create a Squidoo lens with an eBay header such as this one and Squidoo just came out with Squidbids where we create lenses specifically targeted for our eBay items. Check out our Squidbids lens to see how I did mine. You will also notice that I have links to all my individual Squidbids lenses for each of our product lines.

Please drop by our own eBay User Forum on SquidU to meet some fellow eBay Squidooer's who will be more than happy to answer your questions.

So what are you waiting for? Start promoting your eBay Store!
