San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 27, 2006 -- Auction Mercial (www.auctionmercial.com), the Web’s first video shopping catalog and online infomercial service, announced the creation of its one millionth AuctionMercial, a video Internet infomercial created using Auction Mercial’s fast, easy-to-use web service.

“Our first million Mercials were primarily highly discounted bargains and unique one-of-a-kind items for sale on eBay,” said Mike Behnke, Auction Mercial president. “We provide eBay Sellers with a free, automated, easy-to-use web service to convert auction listings into high-quality video. The result is a more engaging, TV-like buying experience for shoppers.”

Auction Mercial, currently a free service to registered eBay sellers, allows sellers to quickly and easily add Internet infomercials to auction listings by transforming product pictures and text descriptions into an engaging, high-quality video experience, regardless of the viewer’s Internet connection speed -- even dial-up. As an added benefit, sellers’ completed videos are viewable on the company’s MercialShopper website (www.mercialshopper.com), the Web’s first video shopping catalog, a site designed to drive traffic and sales to sellers’ auctions or retail websites.

Auction Mercial’s service removes the technical headaches and cost issues typically associated with adding video and audio to an auction listing. Sellers do not have the time to learn a complicated new tool or spend hours editing video. Auction Mercial automates the video creation process to remove the time and labor cost constraints. The result is a service that is easy to use, fast, automated, and currently free to registered eBay Sellers.

“Our immediate goal is to provide eBay sellers with a “pain free” way to test adding video to auction listings. We want sellers to see for themselves the difference video can make. Driving traffic from off-eBay offers the added bonus of free advertising for sellers.”
