I would think that Auctiva might consider adapting the listing tool for eBid.net. That site seems very easy to adapt to as the format is a straight Excel spreadsheet capable of accepting up to 500 listings at a time, though I have been doing 5 at a time. I'm pasting my listings in very easily. Obviously there are some propritory considerations, but eBid is very responsive to new sellers. I asked for a subcategory in N Scale Model RR and within a couple of hours the N Scale category had the following subcategories:
Arnold
Athearn
Atlas
Bachmann
Brass Imports
Buildings
Con-Cor
Decals
Detail Parts
Fleischmann
Graham Farish
Intermountain
Kadee
Kato
Life-Like
MTL
Minitrix
Model Power
Other
Peco
Red Caboose
Roundhouse
Track & Accessories
Walthers
This willingness to assist sellers is like a breathe of fresh air and I am moving my 1000+ store listings at the leisurely pace of about 25 per day and plan to pretty much let eBay do what they want. I paid $50 for a lifetime of no listing fees and no Final Value Fees. If I sell nothing, I'll have saved about $50 in fixed eBay fees.
I did opt for their Gallery Pictures. That will cost me 2% Final Value Fees when an item sells - 10% less than eBay's 12%!
So, Auctiva, How about cutting a deal with eBid and go with a site with enormous potential? There are multiple checkout plans including PayPal, Google Cash, Merchant Accounts, PPPay, etc.
