Cenicola-Helvin Enterprises' YardSaleNet.net Free Online Classified Advertising Service Provides Relief to Sellers Disgruntled with Pending Price Increases at eBay
January 20, 2005 - Las Vegas - Cenicola-Helvin Enterprises' YardSaleNet.net Free Online Classified Advertising Service was created in order to put the simplicity back into buying and selling secondhand merchandise. Avoiding the complications and inconsistencies of online auctions, YardSaleNet.net has been established with a "keep it simple" philosophy. YardSaleNet.net provides simple registration, simple navigation, simple buying, and simple selling. Not only is YardSaleNet.net easy to use, but best of all, it's FREE! Opposed to the fees of auction sites and outrageous listing fees of other online classified advertisers, YardSaleNet.net would rather create a loyal user-base. With this in mind, YardSaleNet.net offers every user free basic membership, free listings, and no transaction fees!

An excerpt from the January 15th edition of the YardSaleNet.net newsletter poses the question, "Is eBay Price Gauging its Sellers?"

{As you already know, YardSaleNet.net doesn't charge transaction or listing fees for anything bought or sold through the online classified advertising network. What you may or may not know is that eBay is again raising the cost of doing business there. The latest email they sent out with the subject "eBay.com 2005 Pricing Announcement" shows that in some cases they are raising their "Final Value Fee" (commissions on sales) as much as 80% as of February 18, 2005. Wow, 80%! That sure does put a dent in the seller's pocket which eventually makes prices for buyers go up as sellers compensate by adding additional handling and shipping charges. We didn't even mention the other increases in listing fees that they are imposing.}

In addition to Free Basic membership which includes the ability to post unlimited ads with no listing or transactions fees, YardSaleNet.net offers premium memberships with features such as image hosting and featured ad credits. There are three levels of Premium Membership for members starting as little as $13.95 for 6 months of Level 1 access which includes:

- Ability to post unlimited classified ads with no listing or transaction fees
- Image hosting for up to 5 MB of images stored
- An Image Library to view and edit your stored images
- 1 Featured Ad Credit
