There are numerous sources on the web where you can get your daily dose of eBay news with your morning coffee: from the latest wacky sale to in-depth financial information Here is a list of web resources to satisfy your ebay news habit.

Google News - Check this daily for the latest tidbits on eBay. - Updated 24-7
AuctionBytes - An excellent resource for both buyer and seller. I will try and deal with issues that expand on what Auctionbytes is already talking about - updated daily during the week.
BloggingStocks - Do you want to debate the latest eBay change or questionable decision? Updated with eBay news periodically
Associated Content - My new home and great source for How to articles, tips and tricks, as well as editorials and articles from my new buddy Graham
Ebay Strategies - Scot Wingo's blog on eBay issues. Scot is the President and CEO of ChannelAdvisor, a service I used for all of my many years on eBay.
Ecommerce-guide.com - Latest news and information on eBay
Ebay's own Message Boards -read what eBay buyers and sellers say about eBay. A must read for eBay investors. My favorite board is the Stores Board as it is both entertaining and informative. Be prepared it sometimes gets nasty.
Ebay Announcements - Check this page for the latest eBay announcements. (This is where the infamous "Fee Increase" announcement was made.)

Fun places to go but I'm not sure how accurate the data is:
QuoteTracker by Medved -a resource for daily eBay auction counts.
Powersellersunite - A different view on eBay from a growing number of dissident Ebay Power Sellers. Check out their auction site chart for information on ebay and their competitors.
Ebay Matchups - An interesting diversion.

Well, that is all for now. I will update this list as I come across more resources. If you come across any other sites please contact me with the link above and let me know.

What's on tap for this week?

Randy - please note that eBay is going Gestapo on the store boards now! They are trolling them, even though they don't answer, and booting people off who are disagreeing. There are other boards opening up off eBay for a more open discussion of what is happening. Like a communist country, eBay no longer really wants the boards to have any freedom of expression, unless you are one of the cheerleaders for eBay! I got a Pink Vacation last week for "profanity or threats of violence on the boards". ????? I wrote to eBay and challenged that, asking them to please show me where I EVER used profanity or threatened anyone. There was no response, but my temporary suspension remains in effect. Apparently, shame on me for having an opinion on their mis-handling of my money! ; ) So, I'll happily still be a member of the Tiny Mob, and continue to be vigilant about what is going on there. I think they have a lot more problems than what the sellers see on the surface. Time will tell. Meanwhile,
