Efee/paymorepal has really gone down the gurgler since this Donahoe wrecked it, stock prices tell all, fortunately the alternatives are doing the opposite of feebay (looking after customers and reasonable fees in most cases) and are taking market share away at a fast rate. There are now many viable alternatives. http://beyond-the-bay.com

Paypal has always had a lot of problems, but I think ebay is still going strong. Will still check out your site though.

i agree that paypal and ebay are still very strong, but i like to give other alternatives a chance, that's why i chose to support iOffer. they've been doing a lot lately to improve their entire site.

In the past month I have had great luck with

www.ecrater.com and www.bonanzle.com


Not at all the sales volume of ebay, but these sites are growing.

And, the best thing is they automatically submit their listings to google!!

There are many sites.. But the question is whether we have a worthy alternative and the answer is no we dont have..
