Hi everyone...This is Rich Lee with the eBay Stores marketing team. We kicked off this year's Best in Stores Contest last month by inviting all you eBay Stores owners to enter your best work. And enter you did – we received over 12,000 entries, shattering our records from previous contests!
We'd like to say thanks to everyone who participated. After some extremely tough decisions, our panel of judges has narrowed the entries down to just four finalists in each of these categories:
- Best Shopping Experience
- Best Store Marketing
- Best Looking Store
- Best Simple Store
Now it's your chance to vote for the winner in each category! Show your support for these hard-working Stores sellers by visiting http://www.ebay.com/bestinstores2008 to submit your votes. Voting is open from April 16th – 30th, and the winners will be announced in Mid-May.
Remember, the winners will receive a $1,500 cash prize and a paid trip to eBay Live! in Chicago on June 19-21. So cast your vote – and good luck to all our finalists!
Sincerely,
Rich Lee
eBay Stores
