8 March 2004
WORCESTER, Mass., March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ Paid, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PAYD - News), formerly Sales OnLine Direct, today announced that it is now including 50 megabytes of free image storage for its customers of aiSeller(TM), the Company's patent-pending AuctionInc(TM) (www.auctioninc.com) online auction and e-commerce management software. Image storage makes it easier for online auction sellers on eBay to display graphic images in their auction listings. The Company is offering it as a free value-added component to select customers.
AuctionInc Seller (aiSeller(TM)) and AuctionInc Ship (aiShip(TM)) customers can easily store product images online for use in their auction listings on eBay. AuctionInc's image management feature allows users to manage their files and folders right from their browser. The software's auto- extract feature for zipped files provides timesaving convenience by allowing users to upload many images with just one click. It also is extremely reliable, so auction listing visitors see the intended images rather than broken links.
"We're committed to providing increasing value to customers with our AuctionInc software," said John Martin, Paid, Inc. vice president. "Our objective is to create the best feature-rich, cost-effective one-stop shop for online auction management needs. No-cost or low-cost image hosting is one more feature that makes life easier for our customers and brings us one step closer to our objective. Our image hosting is extremely easy to use and competitively priced, saving sellers time, and ultimately money."
The first 50 megabytes of image hosting storage is free to aiSeller customers as long as their monthly aiSeller software usage fees exceed $4.95. Customers using aiShip can access the image hosting storage for only $4.95 per month. Fifty megabytes enables storage of 1,000 to 2,500 images with an average size of 20 to 50 megabytes -- sufficient for even the largest sellers. Each additional megabyte of disc space will cost $1.00 for all customers. For more information, or to register for AuctionInc. software, go to http://www.auctioninc.com/info/page/image_hosting.
