Since everything you do on eBay is somehow routed through a computer, you cannot
afford to deal with a problematic relic. Your computer doesn??™t need to run the hottest
microprocessor or have gaming-level amounts of memory??”it just needs the speed,
memory, and storage capacity to handle the level of selling you expect to be doing.
??? Broadband Internet connection is almost becoming as commonplace as having
a cell phone nowadays, and for good reason. Life is too short to wait for listings and
pictures to download, not to mention the time you??™ll save avoiding having to log on to
your dial-up service several times throughout the day each time you want to check
TIP
In the last three months of 2006, the total value of all
successful closed items on eBay was $14.4 billion
(source: eBay press release January 24, 2007). By
comparison, the gross domestic product (GDP) of
Nicaragua is less than $13 billion. Start selling on eBay
and get in on this action!
TIP
The latest rage in computer monitors are wide-screen
displays similar to that 50-inch plasma TV you just bid
on. While widescreens are great for watching movies,
they are not ideal for providing the real estate (especially
vertical) for viewing several running programs at once,
each in their own separate window??”for example, your
Internet browser, e-mail program, Windows Explorer,
an auction management or photo-editing program, and
maybe CNN through a TV tuner board.
