I suggest a no cost initiative that will greatly improve any sellers’ accessibility by web searching performed by prospective buyers.

Ebay search is not required to find a Seller's products; any search will do. A buyer’s store resides in Ebay or elsewhere, accessible by web link from any internet point on the World Wide Web. Google searches for example return Ebay stores’ web address when queried. This is a known and proven technique.

Alas, getting buried under dozens of screen pages of returned searches effectively makes one’s web address inaccessible because most viewers do not read past about 10 screen pages. Practice on any leading search engine will see that after 5 screen pages, the returned results rapidly become less relevant. That is, a search for "lead crystal" "+" "Cleveland", returns more and more links about Cleveland than about "crystal", so from experience, this stop after 5 pages is well founded.

Consider a breakdown, virtually, that is merely how the data is presented, Ebay or any other mall not as a country wide monolith, but as a collection of city wide Ebay’s for example. Now a search might cover a given city quite adequately within 5 pages: total accessibility per search. Ok … nothing or not quite what was wanted found? Try another city and maybe another. More effort sure, but every relevant store matching the search query gets returned for total accessibility on each search. Firstly establish and maintain store accessibility on any search.

Buyers can interact with there buying experience in different ways depending upon how fancy their graphical user interface is with the mall, say Ebay, or with just one store on the web. Google search is one method, but results can be uselessly overwhelming. If a relatively small virtual mall were to be searched, the results would all be accessible in a few pages returned. If a list of selected malls’ stores were created, say city by city or by some other arrangement to keep the numbers per grouping manageable, potential buyers search experience would be as efficient as possible. A little initial labour searching say even a dozen or more times will yield to a given Buyer lists of Sellers that they can contact directly by the Sellers’ web address, say on Ebay or any other mall or web site.

Any select listing cannot shield Sellers from bad Buyers any more than the procedures that all Sellers already have in place, say on Ebay. Sellers are on their own in dealing with Buyers as usual with respect to checkout, shipping and handling, returns and disputes.

A Seller's web address link is all that is required to jump to the fancy page presentation you have worked hard to produce on Ebay for example.

Such a list is a store filter where customers can buy small to high priced items safely and where Sellers’ store items are all visible to potential Buyers that sacrifieces none of the buying and selling experience from malls such as Ebay but rather expands and encourages them through additional web exposure.

It is not, merely on account of store invisibility necessary to close any store anywhere. Listing as I have explained on a specialized list is all that is required. On this proposed list, it is possible to use the same search engine as Yahoo, with some commercial advertising from Yahoo appended to the results. Ditto for Google.
