I was reading a book the other day that highlighted the difference in income between different countries. For example here in Spain I can eat out with my family for around $30 thats for 2 or 3 courses and lots of beer as members of the Income Academy who have visited me here can testify.

In Thailand I could rent a nice house for maybe $200 a month.  I can fly from the UK to anywhere in Europe for less than $100 and I’ve bought return flights from Jerez to London for a total of $15

We are living in a global economy and we should be taking advantage of it.

Last Month I was looking at buying a NIkon D300 camera

To buy a Nikon D300 camera through Alibaba.com is around $1550 some companies on there single items.

To Buy on Ebay .com about $2000

To Buy on ebay.co.uk around £1500 ($3000)

To Buy On CraigsList – prices vary but I saw an add for $1799 for a used one.

There is some serious money to be made on some of these products if you have a system in place and properly manage everything. Sure as hell is easier than selling 100’s of ebooks! If a bit more risky until you get everything worked out.

This is just one example of a product where there a vast price differences there is nothing stopping you buying products in the US and teaming up with a partner in the Uk to take advantage of this Ebay arbitrage. Even relatively low cost items seem to have a 100% price difference.

Do your research and increase your profits.

Finally today a note about One Week Marketing as you will know if you are a regular reader I very rarely promote anything and even more rarely give a testimonial to a product. OWM is one such product that I am happy to do both for.

Jennifer (potpiegirl) was one of the first purchasers of Wordpress Goldmine and I am happy to say absolutely loved it.  One Week Marketing sort of continues on from where WPG left off.  It’s bum marketing on steroids. If you have time to follow her methods for a week you will without a doubt make money.

I had a load of articles I just submitted rejected by ezinearticles. The reason given was that the resource box was against their guideline . I went through their guidelines with a fine toothcomb and couldn’t find any reason why articles with resource boxes that were accepted last week weren’t accepted this week.

My first email to the helpdesk wasn’t replied to , this is the first time I have had this happen to me but I have heard a lot of people mention this problem recently. So after 3 days I sent a 2nd email and had an immediate response.

Thanks for your emails, and I apologize for the delayed response.

I’m sorry for the confusion, but we are no longer accepting links
containing auction items.

Please edit your articles so they do not link to a site containing an
online auction, and you may resubmit for review.

It seems that ezinearticles have now stopped accepting articles for sites that display  any eBay auction listings.  Now I could understand this and support it if the sites had no or very little content. But the sites in question have  several unique articles on them and provide lots of useful information. The eBay ads are carefully selected to be relevant to the article.

There is still nothing published about this and I’ve checked several forums and it seems that some people are having their articles rejected whilst others are having no problems yet.  I’ve even heard of some people who have had some articles go through and others have been rejected with the same resource box.

Hopefully Chris will post about this in the ezinearticles blog so that we can get a proper discussion going about this. It’s one thing arbitrarily rejecting anything with an auction listing (remember an auction listing can be just 1 or 2 items in a site with 10 or more high quality posts) but many of these contain much more content and info than adsense sites.
