Shopping.com Plans to enter Australian Price Comparison Market?
Yahoo! Shopping already has an Australia-based comparison engine. But I’ve now heard that eBay owned Shopping.com plans to move into the Australian market next.
“The new Shopping.com AU site will launch in mid-May 2006 and the first 6 weeks from the launch will be FREE of charge for all registered merchants.”
Anyone else heard this? Seems like a good move for Shopping.com, and especially if they are going to be letting merchants get a free trial. Hopefully they’ll add the ability for developers to call upon the AU information shortly after the launch (I’m sure it will take at least 6 weeks!).
This information comes from a friend and fellow Shopping.com API user. His site focuses solely on digital cameras. FYI- He is planning on giving away free camera gear in the next few weeks, and is looking for some people to vote on what type of gear they’d be interested in. So if you have a minute, check out his site at CameraPrices.com.
