Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of commerce have a very strong publication and it is a little known fact that all members can send in free editorial. This is one of many benefits and all local chambers will have a similar offering ask lisa.ward@dncc.co.uk

Another one for your list is a site called www.use.comit is an image hosting site that offers templates for ebay and craigslist. You can upload 100 pictures per a template with the bulk up-loader. They have photo editing tools and the best part is that its all free. I use it to sell my products on Ebay. my sales have increased and I love how user friendly it is.
