About this site

The Find My Seller directory is a searchable directory of eBay sellers and buyers who want to be found.

The Internet, as all marketplaces, works best if good information is easily available. The Web makes it easy to bring information together. Unfortunately, some Internet venues make it difficult to share what you need to know.

The solution is to let sellers put key information into the FindMySeller directory, so buyers can find out about them. Buyers as well may opt into the directory, publishing links to their own web sites and to their complete About Me page.

Who operates this site

This site is a project of the MicroMerchant Gazette. Its proprietor is an eBay seller who became frustrated with how difficult and confusing it is becoming for buyers and sellers to share honest news about who they are, what they sell, and what they think and know.

Benefits

The Find My Seller directory can be helpful when

  • You know the name of a favorite eBay seller but can't find any listings for her.
  • You want to see what your seller offers off eBay. (Many sellers offer a better selection of merchandise elsewhere.)
  • You want to read an eBay member's comprehensive About Me page, the way it was before eBay began restricting content.
  • You want to email the seller and either you don't want eBay to read your mail, or you need to send pictures or rich content that the eBay Messaging System can't handle.
