Posting on the eBay Classifieds site

Ok, I have been running a few ads on the eBay classifieds site  www.ebayclassifieds.com and I am getting mixed results.  I have been simultaneously posting the ads on both the eBay Classifieds and Craigslist websites.  Whenever a potential buyer contacts me about a sale it seems the buyer only saw the Craigslist ad.  This makes me wonder if it is worth the effort to continue posting ads in both locations.  ebay Classifieds does show a few page hits, but it just doesn't seem to be able to compete with Craigslist.  Read more about eBay Classifieds on techli.com.

Photobucket Not Working With Microsoft IE10

I recently upgraded to the Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 browser.  Around the same time, Photobucket released the latest version of their website.  I still enjoy using Photobucket for photo hosting.  But recently, any attempt to upload images to Photobucket using IE10 results in the upload process hanging.  I tried the upload using Mozilla Firefox (18.0.2) and it worked fine.  Not sure what the problem is with IE10.

Now on eBay: Fifty Shades of Grey

 FIFTY SHADES OF GREY by E.L. James

"When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms. Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever. This book is intended for mature audiences."
