April 10, 2002, Natick, Mass. -- AuctionBytes.com announced the launch of a new classified ad service for the online auction industry. Buyers Market is an online classified service that allows sellers to promote their online storefronts and auctions for one year. Users can register for a two-week free trial.

"Buyers Market is like classified ads on steroids," said David Steiner, President of AuctionBytes. "Our readers have been asking for a way to advertise their Web sites and online auctions. Buyers Market allows them to advertise all their offerings   Web sites, brick & mortar stores, online auctions  all in one place. One user described Buyers Market ads as 'Mini-Websites' when she saw the new service," Steiner said.

For a $25 annual subscription, subscribers to the Buyers Market will be able to update their ad whenever they need, as often as they like. There is a password-protected “Control Panel” that allows sellers to change the description, title, image or even move the ad to another category. Sellers may use up to 750 characters in their description, and they may upload one photo or logo.

Sellers are using Buyers Market to advertise their online auctions, Web sites, storefronts. Some sellers are using the ads to sell individual antique and collectible items. And buyers are using listings to advertise their "wanted" items. With the ability to include a photo, descriptive text and links to auctions and storefronts, the Buyers Market is a powerful way for online auction sellers to market their businesses and advertise individual items.

Shoppers can search Buyers Market, or they can browse ads by category and view the newest listings, by visiting http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/market .
