And with any luck Auctiva may get going independently in the near future so hopefully skills in using thier tools would have been acquried ready for that great event.
The problem with many other sites and effbay knows that, is that everyone knows effbay, few know any others and as a consequence the sell through rate, ie the quantity of items that sell when listed is low so you could end with stock sitting around for a long time with multple relists.
There is wide variety of approaches to charging by the many other sites and some have select range of wares e.g. antiques, art etc which could be advantageous.
A look at the powersellersunite site gives links to quite a few online sites and is worth a look, they also show stats for the qty of listings live on several sites. But be aware just because they have 1000's of listings just check out the profiles of sellers on those sites to get an idea of how much they have actually sold per month takng into account the quality of thier listings and prices.
Hope that helps a little, time for zzzzzz here in the UK.
