Question Hi, i have a question, i am opening a store on yahoo merchant solutions. For product research, are there any online resources for product info such as description, images...for example, if i sell a xbox game console. And the distributor doesn't have the info...are there any online sources to get the upc, image, description, etc. or if i have all of the upc's are there any sources to use the upcs to get info? thanks for your help

You probably will not find images though. Remember, using other people's images / descriptions - unless permission is provided, such as with manufacturer / distributor material - is a violation of copyright law...
