I’m happy to announce the official top-down remodeling of Sell My Lens. I originally designed this site over 8 months ago, but it was wayyyy to early, Squidoo wasn’t ready. But now, there’s been a lot of renewed interest in buying and selling lenses, and I’ve spent all weekend and a good chunk of last week remodeling the site.

How it works -

Very similar to eBay, you can place listings for sale, offer Squidoo related services via Classifieds, or buy lenses from other lensmasters. Fixed Price, Buy it Now, and different auction lengths are all supported.

I’ve also got Paypal integration and Google Checkout should be coming soon.

Listing Lenses on the auction house is 100% free. There are some fees for Classifieds and listing Upgrades (bold, featured, etc.) as well as a 2% final value fee (which is less than a third of what eBay charges last I checked..).

I’m planning on starting an Adwords campaign to drive traffic to the site, so get your lenses up quick!
