Flutteroo is pleased to announce that its growing popularity continues and that it has now signed up over 75 000 customer to the online auction site. The milestone was passed this week, with CEO Dave Hobday commenting, “Less than a year after launch, it’s increasingly clear that our simple formula of exciting auctions, high end products, and unforgettable prices is proving to be very popular with consumers. We are delighted to have hit the 75,000 mark so quickly and are really excited about continuing this growth with so many more exciting initiatives in the pipeline to make our auctions even more attractive for our customers”.

The online auction site runs 3 different types of auctions; penny auctions, lowest unique bid auctions, and price drop auctions. With these 3 auctions Flutteroo is unique in the market and this differentiation is creating hundreds more happy winners month on month.

The company strives hard to offer bidders the very latest products, especially when other retailers are struggling to secure stock, such as with the latest iPhone4. The opportunity to win cheap iPhone’s on the site has been a consistently popular choice for Flutteroo customers, with many being sold each week and shipped out to winners.

Ensuring consumers have the best products to bid on is all part of the company’s obsessive focus on perfecting the customer experience. This emphasis on the consumer is clearly a great attraction, as the young business passes its 75 000 milestone. Throughout the summer, and progressing into the autumn, Flutteroo looks forward to being able to provide even more sought-after products, such as the new Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim. This desire to serve their customers is allowing Flutteroo to differentiate themselves from the emerging pay-per-bid auction market and will secure the company and its site as the UK’s most reliable and trustworthy online auction provider, giving bidders the chance to win and buy new iPads, iPhones, Wiis, Xbox 360s, and 3D TVs all at cheap, bargain prices.

Flutteroo is optimistic about the future and has big plans for its auctions. The company expects to be reaching 100 000 customers signed up in the coming months and is already eyeing new opportunities to continue to accelerate its growth even further.

eBay Triumphs in Antitrust Lawsuit – Wins Summary Judgment

Last Updated on Friday, 5 March 2010 01:00 Written by a2e Friday, 5 March 2010 01:00

Judge Jeremy Fogel of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted eBay’s motion for summary judgment, dismissing a lawsuit filed by several eBay users alleging anti-competitive activity by eBay and PayPal.

Michael Malone filed a lawsuit in April 2007 alleging that eBay "utilizes its nationwide monopoly of the on-line auction market to monopolize the available forms of payment that sellers can use on eBay." A second class-action complaint was filed by Ann Farmer and Todd Van Pelt on April 23, 2007, and the two lawsuits were consolidated.
