I’ve spent the past couple of weeks tweaking AuctionLink for use by international eBay sellers.  Besides eBay.com, AuctionLink now works for people or businesses who sell on the Canadian, Australian, and UK eBay sites.

What is AuctionLink and Why Should I Care?

AuctionLink is shortened, easy-to-remember web address that returns your current eBay listings.  It makes it easy to include a link to all of your current listings in your e-mail sig files and Twitter tweets.

Here’s an example of an AuctionLink:

Even more significant is AuctionLink’s potential to help your Listing Performance Score – a key factor in getting to the front page of the Best Match search results.

A Listing Performance Score is calculated by dividing the number of sales generated for a particular listing by the number of times that listing has appeared (impressions) in the eBay search results.  Listings appearing on AuctionLink are not considered as generating an impression.  So, the more sales you can generate while keeping your impressions to a minimum will help your rankings in the Best Match search and sort calculations.

I’ve got admit that I haven’t used any of these.  I’m still partial to Paint.net (review) which is free and easy to use (both important characteristics for me).  However, from the comments on the original post, pixlr.com has got a lot of fans. 

Post your thoughts about any of these in the comments section.

Over the weekend, some of Auctiva’s servers were infected with a Trojan Horse virus and was apparently infecting users computers with malware.

So, once again, procrastination pays off for me.  Looks like you will have to wait a while longer before I play around with Auctiva and post a review here.  I’ll stick with good old Template-O-Matic for a while longer.
