5. Any plans for allowing sellers to offer specials for certain books or to have customers enter a special code to receive a discount?

Absolutely. Allowing even small sellers to offer promotions, discounts, coupons etc. like the large retailers is a cornerstone of our platform and strategy. We will be unveiling some of these features in due course.

6. Another concept would be to be able to sell books in a bulk lot and to sell ephemera items (magazines, pamphlets, etc.). Any plans for this?

We do not have any plans for magazines, pamphlets etc. at this time.

7. What about allowing for alternate shipping pricing for priority and international orders?

This is a feature request we have received from our sellers and we will be incorporating it in a future release.

8. Google checkout is planned as an alternative to Paypal for your next release. Can you elaborate when this will become available?

There are some issues with Google checkout at this time. It is still not widely accepted or used. PayPal is still the payment method of choice for online sellers. So, we have gone with that. When Google checkout becomes robust and stable, we will offer it on BuyBundle.

9. What do you anticipate the next release will include, and when will it become available?

The nice thing about the web is that there is a continuous stream of improvements. There was a major release last week. We expanded the service to include audio, video, games, software, etc. We added many new features to our platform -- search across stores, add individual items to the inventory, ability to specify a minimum price for the inventory items etc. We are constantly working on improving the classification of items and the relevance of listed items in Google base. Supporting more formats, integration with various inventory management systems, improving our order processing system are some of the things we plan to do in the future.
