ebay alternative

You might also check out Bonanzle.com. No listing fees, and they copied all my listing from eBay. Saved me the time of having to re-create over 200 listings. Up to 4 pics included per item. FVF are a flat fee depending upon selling price.

Haven't sold anything yet, but it has only been 2 days. In those two days, they have picked up over 100 new sellers and my store has been viewed 40 times.

Check it out!

Hi All,
I just posted to the following to the Suggestion board:
Numbers would speak volumes......

Are you supporting ANY other sites besides Ebay?
I love the ease of using your site BUT CAN NO LONGER list with Ebay. It has become unbearable.
PLEASE hook up with another site.
I believe if all the sellers who already use your site were to go to ANY OTHER site you would support the sheer numbers would be just the thing to knock ebay off their perch.

Been experiencing slooooow motion on auctiva past couple of daz. NE body know wats up or have the same issue?

had a really bad experience on ola. once they get your credit card, you cannot shut it down. they just keep charging you. finally, I had to close my credit card to keep them from charging me again.

I had an OLA account. Closed it as a seller. I just sent an email to their support and asked for account to be closed before next billing date. I also asked for an email confirmation from them that they would do that. Got the email, cc was not charged next month.

florida.granny,
If you don't mind my asking, why did you close your OLA account?

OLA was just not the venue for me. I had some problems with their omail system & was not crazy about their listing system. I was trying two different sites at the time [OLA & ebid] and found ebid a better site for me.

I have moved over to Bonanzle.com for several reasons. You can import all your eBay listings and your eBay fedback. Staff and users are very friendly and helpful. http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/RetroMetro

I'm at ebid.net. Sales are picking up. I will not go back to the dark side for buying or selling.

Seems to me it would be an excellent time for Auctiva to take it's user base and start an auction solution of it's own. With the e-commerce kicking in next month and all... just sayin!

Don't look now but that's a done deal.
Auctiva is launching it's own stores FREE from ebay.

eBay and its associated companies have bled sellers dry with high charges, they have killed the goose so to speak. The sooner an alternative appears the better.

Hello

Lately there are many Ebay alternatives popping up, the latest is Finds it they have Google Base feeds similar to Bonanzle and Atomic Mall. I signed up but haven't listed anything yet.

I get a forbidden message when trying to log into www.ebid.net

I found http://base.google.com/ Anyone tried it?

We need a payment alternative to Paypal too.

Ebay and paypal monopoly allows them to rip us off and treat us shabbily. In the event of any problems we are presumed guilty until proven innocent. Loss, loss for Sellers, Win , win for Ebay.

Don't know why you would get such a message for ebid.net. Site is up and running.

I have used Revolution Money Exchange as a replacement for paypal but I'm a small seller.

Hope this helps.

I checked and this is not accepted on eBay though.

True, Revolution Money Exchange is not accepted on ebay, but I no longer sell there. It is accepted on alternative ebay sites which is why I mentioned it.

If anyone is into goth or alternative fashions you can list on gothauctions.com. Absolutely free and no listing or FVF fees. I love the community on there! If you are a new seller it's probably better to get your feedback going on there some how so people won't think you are a scammer. The only bad thing about the site is that there are lots of deadbeats, but at least you aren't paying for anything...beware of scammers as well and always check for feedback. By no means you are going to rich on this site, most people look for a bargain...so if you do not mind listing your items real low to mid range than this site could be for you. Oh and server can be slow sometimes, but hey it's free!

Thanks, I'll check it out.

eBay is a totally dysfunctional organization that knowingly and deliberately facilitates sophisticated shill-bidding fraud on buyers by unscrupulous sellers (eBay is a ‘criminal facilitator’), and PayPal’s ‘clunky’ payments system encourages fraud by unscrupulous buyers on sellers; between the two of these dysfunctional organizations, eBay has become an unsafe place for sellers; it has always been an unsafe place for buyers; eBay’s introduction of masked bidding aliases has simply made it that much worse.

The details at: http://www.auctionbytes.com/fo...wtopic.php?p=6502877

eBay: ‘Dead man walking’—and deservedly so.
PayPal: Systemically dysfunctional to the core.
