New e-commerce site Glyde promises eBay for dummies<\/a><\/p>\n
Get ready for eBay for dummies, courtesy of a new e-commerce site called Glyde.<\/p>\n
Launched by a former eBay insider, Glyde promises to take all the hassle out of buying and selling online. Sellers can list an item — a CD, DVD or video game, for example — by typing in its title and making a notation about the condition. Glyde then suggests a market value, which can be changed anyway you see fit.<\/p>\n
If there’s an interested buyer, Glyde will mail you a pre-addressed, pre-stamped bubble-wrapped mailer and you simply drop your item in the mail within 24 hours. You can then receive a check in the mail from Glyde once the buyer is happy.<\/p>\n
The service takes 10 percent for facilitating a transaction. The seller is also responsible for an additional $1.25 for the price of the mailer.<\/p>\n
Think of Glyde as NetFlix meets eBay. It takes the complexity out of the whole process. \u201cWe want the middle-aged Midwestern soccer mom to easily be able to buy and sell her stuff,\u201d Glyde creator Simon Rothman tells The New York Times. \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty straightforward ambition.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Glyde sounds slow and cumbersome to me.<\/p>\n
The comments at Clark’s site are sure brimming with negativity about eBay. \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
