Wow, I can hardly believe it. Today, I helped a friend at work list a $50 Nordstrom Gift Card on eBay as a Buy It Now item for $45 with free shipping. Within 5 minutes it sold, unbelievable! I figured it would take at least a few hours since there were other Nordstrom $50 gift cards with bids as high as $47.

Anyway, I would assume that the buyer was snipping out gift cards when this one was listed and scopped it up immediately. I didn't even have time to BUMP IT on www.AuctionBump.com before it sold.  Not Cool!

Great news, now when you visit AuctionBump.com from your mobile phone or mobile device, you will be redirected to my new Bump Mobi version of AuctionBump.com with a brand new layout that is much easier to navigate and easier to read.  If you dont have a moble phone or mobile device, borrow one and visit us now and check it out our new mobi bump page.

Wow time sure flies, 3 years old already, and it seems just like yesterday that the idea of the Bump was created.  I remember like it was yesterday.  I was sitting at my kitchen table trying to come up with a name for a website for the bump script that I created...  Then it hit me, AuctionBump.com so I checked for the availability of the domain name, headed on over to Godaddy and made my purchase.

Our success and growth over the years would not be what it is if it were not for you, the bumpers and visitors to AuctionBump.com and we say thank you for your continued support! 

Thanks!

Just wanted to share some information that I came accross today about the IRS tracking seller payment transactions beginning next yer. Read below.

Internet sellers who don't report their sales will no longer be under the radar. Starting next year, any bank or other payment settlement company that processes credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments such as PayPal will have to issue information returns telling the IRS what merchants receive. The new returns are Form 1099-K, Merchant Card and Third-Party Payments. Read the full article here...

But don't worry my fellow ebayer's there is an exception built in that many of us small time sellers fall under. I found this bit of info below, in the article linked above:

Exception: Very small merchants won't be issued information returns. "Small" for this purpose means annual gross sales on merchant cards of no more than $20,000 or 200 or fewer transactions. In other words, reporting is required only if gross amounts for the year exceed $20,000 and there are more than 200 transactions.

We reached another milestone here at www.auctionbump.com so far we have had over one half of a million visitors to our website since it inception  March 12, 2007.  In just under 3 years we have had 505,431 visitors to our popular and original free ebay auction bump website.  We at www.auctionbump.com want to thank all the bumpers, advertisers, and visitors for checking out our website and welcome your continued visits to our site.  www.auctionbump.com traffic has increase monthly at an incredible rate since we first launched.  Again we want to thank the entire internet community for making www.auctionbump.com the most popular bump website for free advertising of your ebay auctions, websites, blogs, youtube videos, eHow articles, bonanzle items, twitter, myspace, and all the other popular social networking websites on the world wide web.
