New Services for a Superior Auction Business Management Offering

Andale Boosts Ad Creation -- New Pricing Services Available to Auction Sellers
Andale has forged partnerships with eppraisals.com (www.eppraisals.com), the industry's newest and most extensive appraisal service, and WorthGuide, the Internet pricing authority for items sold via online auctions. Both services will be integrated with Andale's ad creation process, allowing sellers to access or link to pricing information or eppraisals from directly within the Andale system.
Eppraisals.com features a network approaching 1,000 experts to help auction sellers discover the value, history and quality of the items they own, in almost every category of collecting.

"Online auctions are only growing in popularity, and services designed to make buying and selling a safer and more efficient process, like Andale's, are having a tremendous impact on the industry," said Leslie Hindman, chairman and CEO of eppraisals.com and host of HGTV's "At the Auction" and "The Appraisal Fair." "We're extremely excited to partner with Andale to provide valuable identification and valuation services to their customers and to offer our network of experts, many of whom are regular auction sellers, the use of the most sophisticated auction management service on the market today."

WorthGuide.com uses a proprietary, multi-tiered data filtration system to track thousands of online auction transactions each day. Through easy to read charts, market indices and custom online portfolios, WorthGuide offers Andale auction sellers a level of pricing information not previously available anywhere on the Internet.

WorthGuide President, Rich McGillicuddy commented, "Internet auction customers identify price as a leading consideration in their transactions. By providing the premiere source for fast and reliable price information based on actual closed auction sales, WorthGuide.com is able to deliver the latest pricing trends and information to Andale sellers in real-time, helping them to better price items for the marketplaces they sell on."

New B2B Market Support More Options for Sellers
Every new market Andale integrates with brings the opportunity for millions of potential new buyers. Currently, Andale is integrated with eBay, Amazon.com Auctions, and most recently, Yahoo! Auctions. Next on the list of Andale-supported marketplaces will be BigVine.com (www.bigvine.com) the revolutionary B2B Internet barter marketplace. In an exclusive arrangement, Andale auction sellers will now be able to list goods and services on BigVine.com and leverage that value to source goods and services from other BigVine.com members. Sellers can then sell these goods on other auction sites through the Andale auction management service.

"The online barter marketplace will be one of the most compelling options for sellers to market excess capacity and goods this year. Not only will sellers gain access to new products and customers through BigVine.com, they will be able to do this while conserving cash," said Bippy Siegal, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, BigVine.com, "Andale has demonstrated impressive growth in the auction management space. We're excited to partner with them, and provide BigVine.com retailers with yet another tool that will save them time and expand their marketing options."
Shipping with Andale and iShip.com Has Never Been Easier

iShip.com (www.iship.com), which recently agreed to be acquired by Stamps.com, offers the most comprehensive multi-carrier shipping service online, providing tools for pricing, tracking, and shipping through all of the major shipping carriers including UPS, United States Post Office, FedEx, Airborne Express, and Yellow Freight. iShip is working with Andale to make shipping even faster and easier for auction sellers.

President and CEO of iShip.com, Stephen Teglovic commented, "Andale is the first auction management service to automate the post sale process. After an online sale, shipping is a critical service and one of the best ways for sellers to impress their buyers with great information. iShip's.com's technology for automated pricing, real time tracking, and shipping items sold at auction is a perfect fit with Andale's suite of auction management tools and will be accessible from directly within the Andale system."

Andale Secures Post Sale Payment Processing – New Credit Card, Merchant Account and Escrow Services
Once the auction is over, the exchange of funds for products has traditionally been time intensive and, at times, risky. Many auction sellers must wait for personal checks or money orders to arrive in the mail several days later, pour over manual ledgers trying to match the right checks with the right auctions, then ship products to the buyers. Andale makes this process much easier by eliminating all the manual steps. Now, partnered with Wells Fargo (www.wellsfargo.com), Signio (www.signio.com) and i-Escrow (www.iescrow.com), Andale has added secure credit card processing options, merchant accounts, and escrow services.

"Both Wells Fargo and Andale share a vision of helping online merchants streamline their business processes," said Michelle Banaugh, senior vice president of E-Commerce at Wells Fargo & Co. "Andale effectively advances this vision even further with its fully-automated storefront that captures transactions as they occur at the auction sites and then stores that information for financial record keeping. Wells Fargo, too, has always been a small business ally and is complementing Andale's innovation by providing online merchants access to preferred pricing on payment processing and merchant card services."

Signio, Inc., which recently agreed to be acquired by VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRSN), is a leading provider of payment services connecting online merchants, B2B exchanges, payment processors and financial institutions on the Internet.

"Signio delivers a highly scalable and reliable Internet payment platform to help businesses profit from the rapidly expanding e-commerce auction market," said Philippe Courtot, Chairman and CEO of Signio. "Andale is definitely going the extra mile to offer best-of-breed payment processing by leveraging Signio and Wells Fargo – giving auction buyers and sellers the utmost in secure payment options."

i-Escrow (www.iescrow.com) will serve as the default payment method powering the Andale Payment System, providing the safest way for sellers to collect credit card payments for online auctions without the fraud and chargeback risks.

According to i-Escrow Founder and CEO Sherman Kwok, "i-Escrow's partnership with Andale is part of our concerted effort to cater to power sellers seeking a safe transaction environment. Andale is taking a lead in delivering on this goal. Together, we are answering a growing need among serious sellers for the convenience of credit card payments without the security exposure."
