I want to take a moment to thank all of you who read and subscribe to Power Seller King. It is a joy and an honor to be able to write about what I love - eBay selling. Unfortunately, on several occassions lately, I have seen my articles copied verbatim on another blog, on a forum, on an article site, or as a group email. I understand the need for written material for your blog or forum, however, to steal another's work and pass if off as your own is unethical and unprofessional. You are more than welcome to use any material from this blog, Know More Media and I just ask that you give proper credit to where you found the material. We encourage you to add a sentence like, "From Power Seller King," and link back to where you found the post. We would also like to hear from our readers and anyone who is interested in submitting a guest post. Perhaps if you collect a unique item, have a specific niche, or have eBay experiences you can share, we would love to hear from you. Just email me at suzanne@powersellerking.com Thank you again for visiting us here at Power Seller King, and as always, we welcome your comments and feedback.
