eBay Launches Online Magazine with "Inside Source" -- and Fake Hamsters are Hottest Holiday Gift
Earlier this month, eBay launched Inside Source, a style/fashion/shopping guide published by the auction giant. Here's the launch story in The New York Times.
Last week we caught up with the publication's editor Meredith Barnett at the eBay store, a temporary promotional facility on 57th Street. She tells us about the new site, its use of video and its integration with eBay.
She also shows us around the some of cooler holiday gifts on eBay. And, yes the little battery-powered hamsters, the Zhu Zhu Pets, are the hottest gift of the holiday season on eBay, Meredith tells Beet.TV
The New York store closes this Sunday, 11/29.

I would say this ebay magazine is just another way for them to take our money. I'm tired of it. I've actually been using a very simple and inexpensive online buying and selling website called sellbits.com. It has put a very interesting and simple twist on the online marketplace...
