Immediately after posting this thread about the possibilities of Google Base going auctions when Google Checkout went c2c it was pulled, as was many threads about Google Checkout. It did not even have a chance to get on post. Not only did they slap me for it, they gave me a 30-day suspension. They do not like this possibility. Wonder why.

I believe that a cord has been struck and eBay\PP are in a fight for their life. Keep the pressure on them; do not give them a chance to breath. Liveworld is losing the battle, and they are losing control of the board.

I will be doing my homework and keeping a very close eye on the board. This will give me a chance to get caught up on a lot of cleaning up in my scrapbook; I have some interesting posts to get ready for here.

I am going out on a limb here and predict that Google Base will turn

into an auction site when Google Checkout goes c2c.

I am listing my items now on Google Base because it?s free.

Life IS Good.
