| OJ book pulled from eBay |

OJ Simpson's scuttled book about the murder of his ex-wife popped up for sale on eBay today and attracted a top bid of more than $US1,600 ($A2,080) before it was removed. The book, If I Did It, and an accompanying two-part television interview were dropped by media conglomerate News Corp on Monday after an outcry from advertisers, booksellers and relatives of the dead. But one copy, touted as a hypothetical account of how Simpson would have killed ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994, was offered for sale on eBay. Publisher HarperCollins, part of the News Corp group, has pledged to recall and destroy all copies on the book that were shipped ahead of the intended November 30 publication. "We have contacted eBay about removing the book. We are doing everything in our power to have them all destroyed," HarperCollins spokeswoman Erin Crum said. Within three hours, If I Did It had been taken down from the site after getting more than 50 bids, the highest more than $US1,600 ($A2,080). "Whether you think he is guilty or not a jury of his peers found him innocent, so who are we to judge? Anyway I received a true copy of this book, did not read it, do not want to read it, but want to sell it," the seller, from Texas, said in a posting. The auction site said HarperCollins took action under laws governing intellectual property rights. Another posting by someone eager to track down a copy of the book remained on the site, and at least two people were auctioning off OJ Simpson-related email addresses. The seller of OJ.IDidItzgmail.com described the address as a way for businesses "to profit from the resurrected OJ craze". The former football star was acquitted in 1995 of charges he committed the bloody June 1994 murders. But a civil court jury in 1997 found him liable for the deaths and awarded the victims' families $US33.5 million ($A43.5 million) in damages. Little of the judgment has been collected. The taped interview with Simpson, ditched this week by News Corp, also was expected to find its way onto the internet. Popular video site YouTube on Wednesday had dozens of spoof and satirical amateur videos on the topic but no authentic tape. |

Auction Advertising: Taking a Closer Look by Genia V. Stevens If you sell on eBay or any other online auction site, you're probably always open for suggestions about how to make your product visible to potential buyers. If you sell TVs, you're probably one of thousands of sellers who do. So what could make you different from other sellers? Consistent marketing. Many sellers who buy advertising don't really understand how important consistency is to their marketing strategy. Marketing is an investment; It's an investment into the success of your business.

Stevens You may have searched the internet for auction resources only to find yourself experiencing information-overload -- one website after another claiming to provide the absolute best information you'll ever need to run your online auction business.

Stevens I sold a text link to one of my advertising clients on TheAuctionBoard's main page. My auction ad stated that my website's main page had a Google pagerank (PR) of 6.
