(PRWEB) May 21, 2004 -- DeadBeater (www.deadbeater.com), a new, web-based service for online auction sellers, is a breakthrough in the effort to improve the quality and reliability of transactions on the most popular online auction sites.

A small "Protected By DeadBeater" shield on each of the participating sellers auction pages, is backed up with the proprietary DeadBeater rating system and services. These services provide sellers of all sizes with more informed and automated control over their bidders, auctions, and businesses.

Under development for nearly three years, DeadBeater has completed a six month live launch phase. The service has proven to enhance sellers businesses while more than paying for itself, improving auction outcomes by minimizing problem bidders, attracting a better breed of bidders, and providing sellers with greater control over their auctions and their businesses. To date, DeadBeater has protected over 130,000 auctions.

The DeadBeater service, provided via the company's web site at www.deadbeater.com , is offered as a single, flat-rate monthly subscription. DeadBeater is entirely web-based (no software to download), and is accessible via any common Web browser. The automated service runs 24x7 on behalf of subscribers, meaning a seller need not access the service other than to enroll – though most sellers log in frequently to take advantage of its interactive features. DeadBeater works stand-alone and is also fully compatible with all third-party Auction Management" services and native online auction tools.
