Now that Paypal has grown up, they are the only bank in the world that doesn’t export or web connect to financial software. Many small business owners use Quickbooks or Quicken and need an import.

If you are looking for something to use to get those transactions into one of the financial software programs take a look at Big Red Consulting who has both a Excel to QIF converter and a Paypal to Quickbooks converter. Either of these will send you happily on your way exporting and reconcilling your bank accounts.

Traveling around doing a little research and looking at “make money online” -I  find a site in the news. I think, Wow, this could be good- it’s got to be the gospel, it’s in the news. Follow the link “thru” http://community2.myfoxaustin.com only to be redirected to spam affiliate income spammer site. Now I’m convinced he is good, because after all he spammed google out of a top position looking like a great news story.

So I do a little research. I see that Fox Austin has about 1700 blogs. and almost all of them are affiliate spammers. I stop and think for a few minutes, hmmm, could put my own spam( I mean link) and have it rank news too. Then .. I think again. Ok Fox Austin, you need to clean up your site! Spam Alert.

And of course Google, take a look: Those blogs  are definitely not news.

Well let’s see, Eddie over at Auctionchex tweeted this out today and it reminded me. I had forgotten.

eBay Picture Hosting will go away beginning in August, which means that if you are hosting using eBay for your images, you have to change.

Here is a breakdown for the image hosting services that we compiled.

Comparison of Image Hosting Solutions for eBay Sellers

Some of the above services come along with auction management services- some don’t. With all the fiasco of the Auctiva switch over to a paid system, and the change in eBay picture hosting, well, there is a lot going on around here.
