ConsignmentPal – The little big directory for eBay consignment sellers is growing fast!
Regular readers here will be aware that I have helped Linda Miller and her ConsignmentPal directory with the redesign and reinvigoration of this amazing directory. And I am sure glad I did…
ConsignmentPal has not only become the best place to list your consignment or Trading Assistant business (even better than the Trading Assistant Directory, in my opinion) but is now a great place to find real honest to goodness solutions providers, consultants, designers, web developers, and eBay gurus like Skip McGrath (Not an affiliate link).
The press release below is a good indication of the forward thinking and bright outlook Linda Miller brings to the industry with ConsignmentPal (Not an affiliate link). Providing a free directory for all of the eBay consignment, resale and eCommerce marketplace is a very laudable achievement and I think everyone attending eBay Live 2008 should stop by the booth and shake Linda’s hand, thank her for all of her hard work and sign up for ConsignmentPal. Tell her Scott Pooler sent you… if you don’t happen to catch me manning the booth myself (I think Linda wants me to fill in during the best speeches…huh, not likely! LOL)
See You at eBay LIVE!

SAN ANTONIO, TX June 19, 2008 — Today Consignment Pal (CP) announces the addition of two new business categories in the Consignment Pal Business Directory: Collectors and Third Party Service Providers.
