If you're into eBay, maybe you'd like to drop by their 'Garden' to learn more about eBay's new features - you can try them out and let eBay know what you think. They have some pretty cool stuff over there. If you want to check on the seeds being planted in eBay's garden please visit this link: http://pages.ebay.com/garden/

Also, I found this site with several free eBay tools, check it out: http://www.auctionlotwatch.com/free/

Enjoy! :D

No problem, John!

Yes, I number of sellers have profited from misspelled listing descriptions and a number are catching up on this so called trend...

Speaking of flipping through eBay, here' s eBay selling coach's take on this topic:

A very nice alternative to eBay is http://www.gGavel.com

This site has been in developing for about 1 year now. Some php developers and I have been screwed by ebay soo many times! We decided to retaliate in a different way, by opening up an online site and offering a fair enviroment that fair for sellers and buyers. Also gGavel is offering a $50.00 credit at signup. Registration is FREE and you get a credit. gGavel is currently advertised on Google, Myspace, and Facebook! Our servers are getting expanded in 1 month to accomodate all the sites needs. We offer Google Checkout and Paypal as merchant methods at this time. This will be the best online auction site to come! Please take a moment to checkout our site http://www.ggavel.com and let us know what you think? Email us at ="mailto:admin@ggavel.com">admin@ggavel.com

Hi Debbie,

I have a website which does not charge for listings, nor does it charge a FVF/Final Value Fee or commission. You can use 2 photos and a thumbnail …..Free! You could list your entire inventory and not pay a penny.


Don't Pay a Fee, Sell it for Free! on....... http://cyber-flea.com


Thanks, Gary

If you're looking for eBay alternatives, I would suggest you seriously consider Bonanzle at this stage. Why? For one, they are the leading if not one of the leading eBay alternative sites. They are cheap, and they get plenty of buying traffic. To find out more, check out our 10 ½ reasons why you should sell on Bonanzle by visiting this link:

Hey,

Thanks for the heads up, i had vaguely heard of this auction site , but never investigated it.

I think now would be a good time as any?

Cheers for that....John.

Iv'e sold item with bonanzle. They are in my opinion the best up and coming potential.

The best thing is its free to list and you can import all your ebay listings with one click.

Obviously the traffic isn't there yet but sales are still made.

You're quite right about everything you just said, John!

Bonanzle's traffic may be nothing quite like that of eBay's but the tell-tale signs show that this site is by far a very promising alternative to eBay. Not only that but the ease of use and the simplicity of their rules/policies makes it even easier to start selling. They have a very helpful community too!

We have a growing number of members who sell there and they seem to be doing just fine.

Another free site you might want to explore is eCrater and Craigslist.

To more traffic and MORE sales! Cheers :)

The best auction site I've seen so far is www.mvptraders.com it has free listings and online chat. The site is laid like most auction sites but this has the most feature I've seen minus the crazy fees.

I recently came across an auction website named as Bid66. It is online bidding site that contains a wide variety of items at very low price. While exploring this website i knew that one can get item of his choice at cost of even a single penny. A section reward store provides opportunity to the user to get items on the basis of point s and hence no need to spent even a single penny. All you need to login free and play bidding.
I found it very interesting and cost effective and hope that it will surely fall somewhere nearer to ebay in the category of auctioning.

One of our members shared this with us back at SaleHoo, and I though maybe you guys might want to check out this site: addoway.com - where ecommerce works hand in hand with social sites like facebook.

Interested? Learn more about it in the link below:
