Five websites. Hmmm.
Ebay
Vendio
Woot
Jewelry Classifieds at DiamondRing.com
Shopping I check:
Ebay
Overstock.com
Amazon.com
SmartBargins.com
Ebay - Home page
VD - well because I can!
Woot - latest fad. Missed the BOC yesterday darnit!
Jewelry Classifieds - I like Jewelry & they have good deals sometimes.
If there's a contest running I usually enter once a day. Didn't win the HGTV dream home or the Dell computer giveaway but I'll enter once a day. Oprah is currently running a free trip to the show and I enter every day.
Portal to eBay wouldn't bother me. Blinking ads bother me but not so much now that I'm using FireFox.

Six websites:
eBay
Vendio
Google
Postalhistory
Playles
Tvguide
Ebay- to check and manage sales
Vendio, to list and check Community
Google - for research
Postalhistory, Research
Playles, research
tvguide - to choose the background babble while I list
I ignore free anything on the internet and rarely click on eBay links.

eBay -- obvious reasons
nyt (New York Times) -- news, op eds, features
chowhound -- restaurant discussions
accuweather -- local and where I'm traveling
google -- research
I don't click on anything free. I do click for free mammograms for others.

eBay
Vendio
Yahoo
Squidoo
Stumbleupon
1. eBay to check and manage auctions. Also, the jewelry and store boards.
2. Vendio because I like the boards. Well, not so much the RT anymore.
3. Yahoo home page to catch up on the news.
4. Squidoo to visit pages of some of the joolies on eBay's jewelry board.
5. Just because it's great fun to discover websites I wouldn't normally see when surfing.
I might visit a site that gives away free stuff daily even though I never win anything.
An eBay portal wouldn't bother me at all. But, like glassgrl, I hate blinking ads! I also hate ads that pop open when your mouse goes over them.

1) Which five websites do you visit most on a regular basis?
ebay ... because been here forever
vendio ... because "
gasprices.com ... great community local
interaction
woot ... just found this place not long ago, and woot is a hoot
craigslist ... i find fascinating but wish was 'bigger' in my n.e. ohio area ...
free daily prizes! would be even more draw.
if ebay displayed prominently, in the categories that grab my attention, might just go 'there' again, to THAT category, as a link.
2) Why? (Just a few words about each.)
3) Would you visit a site that gave away free prizes daily -- truly FREE, you don't even pay s/h?
4) How likely would you be to visit such a site every day?
5) If this site had a portal to eBay prominently displayed on its front page, would that influence you positively, negatively or not at all?

Ebay
vendio
my coupons
yahoo
msnbc
ebay..to check on my auctions and sometimes to shop
vendio..to read this board
my coupons..I am an avid couponer and contest person
yahoo..to read the news and check my coupon site on there
Amazon..to check out their daily specials
I woudl certainly visit a site that gave away free stuff every day and a portal to ebay may would help as I would think it would help in having faith that it is not a big scam.
Also, Fluffy..thanks so much for the great slacks..they fit perfectly.

Vendio - forums and to list on ebay
Ebay - to list and buy
Pogo - to play games and chat
little hometown newspaper - to check up on what is going on back 'home'
my coupons - to save money
Yes, I would visit a site that had totally free prizes every day but haven't found one lately, they all seem to want shipping and handling (which we all know is expensive from our own work on ebay)
I would not mind a portal to ebay as long as it wasn't flashing
posted on July 13, 2007 08:44:47 PM new
Vendio (list, process sales)
Ebay (list, process sales)
Ecrater (list, process sales)
Google (research, news)
Baylorfans (my sports team, got to read the boards and flame the competitors on a daily basis)
I might visit that site. I visit Woot and What's the Biz Deal every day to see what they are offering. Would be more likely to visit if they send me an email every morning like biz deal does. Gives me a clue about what deal of the day is.
posted on July 13, 2007 10:41:38 PM new
1. Ebay, Vendio, QVC, Google, Amazon
2. Ebay: Should be obvious
Vendio: Ditto
QVC: To see what they're selling that I missed overnight
Google: Research on what I've found here and there
Amazon: To sell books, and to check my feedback
3. Probably, but depends on what they were giving away.
4. Not likely
5. Negatively, I think. I don't trust most giveaways.

1 &2)
-Ebay: check listings, research, invoice, forums
-Vendio: list, post-sale and forums
-Google - research and just about everything else (news, phone numbers, weather, movies, tv listings)
-PayPal - process payments. transfer $
-Wells Fargo - manage account and Bill Pay
3)No I probably wouldn't visit a site like that - ain't no such thing as a free lunch
4)I'd probably forget about it in a day or two
5)Probably wouldn't notice the Portal - wouldn't make a difference.

1) Which five websites do you visit most on a regular basis?
eBay
Vendio
cnnfn
nypost
avsforum
2) Why? (Just a few words about each.)
eBay - obvious
Vendio - obvious
cnnfn - keep track of the markets & frequently hop to cnn from there
nypost - I admit it, Page 6 is a guilty pleasure, but I never read anything else there
avsforum - I have rekindled an old interest in audio/video hardware and software
3) Would you visit a site that gave away free prizes daily -- truly FREE, you don't even pay s/h?
Probably not
4) How likely would you be to visit such a site every day?
Not very
5) If this site had a portal to eBay prominently displayed on its front page, would that influence you positively, negatively or not at all?
eBay is my home page (on one of my browsers, Firefox), so it wouldn't affect me

1) Which five websites do you visit most on a regular basis?
eBay
Vendio (only The eBay Outlook)
News sites - Political /Think Progress, Crooks and Liars. Firedoglake & Tech /Wired, Cnet News
Yahoo Messenger
Google (web and image search)
2) Why? (Just a few words about each.)
eBay: To run at least 3 saved searches every day, to research items for sale
Vendio (only The eBay Outlook): For the community first (the only board I read every day and for eBay information
News sites - Political: as an antidote to the constant MSM bias to the right
Tech: for cool computer and net stuff
Yahoo Messenger: To IM all day long with my sister
Google (web and image search): Research on item we are selling and on items in our collection and history projects, & for the fun of a challenging search
3) Would you visit a site that gave away free prizes daily -- truly FREE, you don't even pay s/h?:
NO. I am very reluctant to give personal information on an unknown site.
4) How likely would you be to visit such a site every day?:
Not at all likely
5) If this site had a portal to eBay prominently displayed on its front page, would that influence you positively, negatively or not at all?

Regularly:
Vendio: everyday - to check up on the latest news relating to special listing days, scams and potential problems, etc...
eBay: 3 or 4 times a week, usually to look for something I want or check on the value of an item.
eCrater: 5 or more times a week to list, check on sales, etc...
Myspace: 1-3 times a month, usually to check up on my kids!
TMZ.com: usually once or twice a day, I am addicted to celeb gossip (I know - LAME)
Perezhilton.com: same as TMZ
Yes, I would visit a daily, for freebies, but I hate getting junk mail and have become more careful about where I go, etc..., I would be cautious about a portal to eBay, with all of the scams going on and so probably would not click on that.

Ebay - Mostly buying right now. Will probably vamp up sales again this fall.
Vendio - EO
Amazon - Listing Books
My Bank - I daily update my budget excel spreadsheet. Gotta keep track of where the money goes.

3) Would you visit a site that gave away free prizes daily -- truly FREE, you don't even pay s/h?
I have in the past although not usually on a daily basis. I'm usually to caught up in other things to remember to go back everyday.
4) How likely would you be to visit such a site every day?
Likely - if I remembered.
5) If this site had a portal to eBay prominently displayed on its front page, would that influence you positively, negatively or not at all?

Glassgrl, That was different. Fluffy is not an unknown website. I do seem to remember that she once said that you never really know anyone online but I feel like I know her.

Almost every time I click on anything free - I get tons of spyware loaded on my computer that escapes my filters. No wonder we're all leery!

How did your clothing give-a-way go Fluffy, did you get rid of a lot of stuff? I know I said I would pay for shipping and I am sure a lot of other people did too.
I am interested in what kind of a website you have in mind, you are a great marketer and always have great new ideas.
