Virtual PA - secretaries on Ebay

This week we have been looking at new strategies for advertising our services.

Our first move this week was with google base, an online shopping tool to help businesses showcase their products through Google shopping.

Next we looked at Ebay which has developed into a massive on-line sales tool over the past few years. But, does the service industry suit this portal? How many people search ebay for a virtual assistant? We used Ebay this week for a trial offering our services in two forms:

1 - auction
2 - Buy now

It would appear that just a handful of people would consider searching ebay for a PA, so is it worth adverting a service on ebay? To us every potential customer is important and we might just continue advertising in this way.
