   Definitely looks that way. I've seen a similar strategy used on Youtube for a while now.

   So you get $50k in waived fees and dedicated support for no equity? Sounds like a great deal to me, especially if you are wary of working with PayPal. It's a guaranteed whitelist of your account.

   If you're not familiar with the "long-term" thinking of Bezos, this anecdote from Brad Stone's recent book on Amazon is particularly interesting: Bezos wanted AWS to be a utility with discount rates, even if that meant

   Wait so sending people content they opted to receive now qualifies as spam? Have you never signed up for a newsletter?

    For those of you in the Bay Area who want to try this out, Boxbee ( https://boxbee.com/ ) is a similar service that operates in SF. Self-storage is a massive industry ($22B) and if you dig into the numbers they're pretty

    I'm definitely not a recruiter and LinkedIn could easily extrapolate that from my resume. Say for example I just want to do some due diligence on a contractor (or business associate or company exec. or whatever). I don't want to c

    I don't get why LinkedIn gets a free pass on a lot of the shady stuff it does. Case in point: if I have a free account, public details are hidden when browsing profiles and I'm told I need to "upgrade" my account to view

    Have you tried using the https://pushover.net/ action channel? There are quite a few recipes that rely on it for push notifications and it covers both iOS/Android.

    This sounds great--I've used Google Shopping Express and it's definitely convenient. If Amazon can offer something similar that would be fantastic.

    Delivering non-grocery items seems huge--apparently the end game of the delivery service could be a lot bigger than just groceries. Also the early morning delivery window sounds great. I used to get CSA delivery early in the morning and it

    Has anyone from the Seattle area used this service regularly? I'd imagine after 5 years it's become pretty polished. That seems like an eternity to improve their business model and get the economics right.

    I was wondering the exact same thing. I'd imagine that they'd use shoppers who have personal memberships and then reimburse. If they had Instacart-only memberships, it would be much easier for Costco to target and cancel those accounts. Any

    Great idea! I'm reminded of http://www.allmyfaves.com/ (although you've obviously improved on their concept dramatically). If you're looking for a way to monetize your project, I believe they do pretty well just off of affiliate links (fo

    High fees are bad, but so is low sell-through. How do you drive traffic to listings?

    Cool idea. One question: why focus on Chanel? Since Chanel has been using holograms for years, isn't there more opportunity in focusing on brands that aren't as easy to authenticate (e.g. LV which does insane volume on eBay)?

    The idea that the design similarities are a coincidence is just not believable on any level. Anyone that has worked with PayPal or eBay API documentation knows it's a complete disaster, and just happening to build new documentation that sim

    Congrats on launching! Really like the design and prominent example. One question: what's the advantage of this over Gumroad/Ribbon.co? Lower fees? Also, you mentioned that this is targeted at a non-technical market. I'd definitely think ab
