New Internet Auction Site Launched to Help the Homeschool Community
Homeschool Buy welcomes online shoppers and vendors seeking a new online auction
site since eBay's ban on selling teacher's editions.White Pine, TN With the holiday
shopping season right around the corner, fans of online auction sites are introduced
to the new kid on the block www.HomeschoolBuy.com. Homeschool Buy is poised to
meet the needs of homeschoolers and others who were turned away when eBay decided
to prohibit the sale of Teacher's Editions. Homeschool Buy is prepared to handle much,
much more than just homeschool curriculum though; they are equipped to handle
everything from clothing, to craft items, to cameras, and kitchen items! Anything
home and family-oriented is welcome.While other online auction sites have popped
up since eBay's big mistake, Homeschool Buy is unique because it comes with a
built-in market the readers of The Old Schoolhouseฎ Magazine and the blogging
Some of those folks are the exact ones who encouraged Paul and Gena Suarez,
publishers of The Old Schoolhouse, to pursue creating an online auction site that
would welcome homeschoolers and their Teacher's Editions. Danny Carlton of
JackLewis.net is the webmaster over the new community. He has been instrumental
in working with attorneys and script experts to meet deadlines each step of the way.
The design is also Carltons creation. Paul and Gena also hope that their decision to
offer an option where the seller would have no basic listing fees will help to encourage
people who have never listed at auction sites before to get involved. Unless a product
sells, there are no backend auction fees. Customers who are familiar with eBay will
find that the set-up is very similar, including being able to create and operate your
own store, yet tailored especially to be family-friendly. HSB stores are priced much
lower than eBays store options as well. Any vendor can set up shop with their own
custom place on the web to do business complete with a very custom traffic base
and on the cheap. While the site is designed to appeal to homeschoolers by giving
them the opportunity to buy and sell Teacher's Editions, the site is definitely open to
others outside the homeschool community as well. Family commerce on the Net.
The homeschool market is estimated to be a billion dollar a year marketplace and
Homeschool Buy provides a venue for everyone from individual families to small
companies to mainstream vendors to join the marketplace. Whether it's families
cleaning off the bookshelves to make some extra Christmas money or a company
striving to move products off of their shelves, Paul and Gena Suarez welcome them
to give Homeschool Buy a try. Teacher's Editions are welcome!
