Ebay brings out a New Search Site Tool

Ebay is going great guns as the online marketplace is bringing about one update after the other. It has come up with a new search engine which is exclusive for all the North American users called the Cassini. It is definitely a great helping hand for the online sellers who can expect and get more visibility of the wide arch of products that they showcase as part of the listing to nab the attention of the customers. The e-shoppers also get a broader view of the marketplace and get to find out the variety of offerings of the web merchants.
Ebay kept it a Low Profile Affair for Two Years 

Ebay was hatching the master plan for almost 2 years. Cassini has been thought upon for two years so that the e-sellers are able to take advantage of this new site search engine to the best possible extent. Cassini has been churned out to aid in effective product data management and it is expected to offer the best solutions that would enable the sellers to higher their online revenue graph. Improved product recommendations and indexing is possible when you have a sorted out listing organized in a catalog format. It would group the products in a category format to have higher visibility.

Amazon Lets You Put Fine Art in Your Shopping Cart

Amazon on Tuesday added "purveyor of fine art" to its e-commerce business creds, opening Amazon Art, a marketplace to view and purchase fine art created by contemporary and classical artists.

Will any consumers consider putting "Fragment de Nympheas," a framed oil painting by Claude Monet, in their cart for US$2.5 million (+ free shipping)? Or will Amazon Art become a place where art lovers go to view this and other masterpieces -- that is, a virtual museum?

In actuality, the Amazon Art marketplace will sell a range of works from galleries from around the globe featuring contemporary artists, with just a sprinkling of very high-profile pieces. Amazon initially is offering pieces from more than 150 galleries and dealers, showcasing 4,500 artists. There were more than 40,000 works of fine art listed at the outset, and the catalog will grow.

Galleries on the Amazon Art roster are located across the U.S. and Canada, as well as in Europe, including in the UK and the Netherlands. Some of the high-profile galleries include Paddle8 in New York, Holden Luntz in Miami, McLoughlin Gallery in San Francisco, Modernbrook in San Francisco, Catherin Person Gallery in Seattle, and GallerieCiti in the Bay area. While Amazon could include individual artists in the future, it is strictly dealing with galleries and dealers for starters.

At launch the store offered works from Andy Warhol, Claude Monet, Norman Rockwell and other renowned artists.
