eBay Dance & Virtual Malls.. Money Online or Not?

Internet Business Guide Review

Recently, I saw an Internet Business Opportunity For Sale that had perfected the concept of the Online Shopping Center. I have not done much research on this concept, but on the surface it seems sound.The category of business would be Publishing/Directory with the emphasis on Directory. You can find many examples of this concept. Such as MonsterCommerce.com and Yahoo Stores. Also eBay has claim to one of the first implementations of Online Malls. In the brick-and-mortar world many malls have Terms and Conditions that restrict the mall shop owner from transferring the intrinsic value. Meaning the mall shop owner, when it comes time to sell, discovers that the equity they have built in their business belongs to the mall owner.Online, this is the case with eBay. Read about the eBay gotcha! Albeit, this is just one online shop, yet perhaps if it was within an online mall it could increase Making Money Online!
