EasyDo.com has launched an e-commerce
auction site featuring a patent-pending intelligent mailbox system called
Intelli-box that allows a buyer to query multiple purveyors of goods and
services.
The company said sellers respond to the buyer with “closed” offers, meaning
that the sellers are not aware of each others’ offers, but they do know the
ranking of their bids. They are all independently trying to offer the lowest
price that they can to the buyer. The buyer has the option but no obligation
to select any of the sellers’ offers at the end of the auction.
EasyDo.com combines a search engine, interactive yellow pages an online store
for the advertisers, and web site resident intelligent mail boxes to make the
process simple for both buyers and the sellers.
Buyer replies are sorted with the lowest price on top, but also be done in
combination of price and other parameters. The service is free to the
consumer.
EasyDo.com generates revenue by charging the sellers on a per response basis
or subscription basis. Sellers can also opt to buy a yearly subscription for
a certain number of responses. EasyDo.com will also sell banner advertising
space and insert special offers for sellers.
The sellers & buyers both have an Intelli-box on EasyDo.com so their own
e-mail boxes will not be cluttered with e-mail, and their privacy will not be
compromised, the company said.
