I have used all these online aucton websites.

There all good for the same purpose!

looking for comments*

Nice selection you got there - Alot of people on the forum use most of these.

I've used eBid/eCRATER/iOffer - using all of them help increase sales go for it - but no were close to eBay/Amazon sales yet unfortunately.

ebay
bonanza
ioffer
ecrater

These are main one I have luck

It's sad to see Bonanza is actually becoming eBay, instead of an eBay alternative.

Yup. I warned about this a long time ago. They are literally trying to imitate every procedure EB uses.

What about that Etsy site - how is that doing?

I don't use Etsy personally but I read everywhere that it's a heaven for handmade. Looks nice.

Etsy is good for Vintage items( aka items YOU or your company makes) or materials for items ( excellent site regardless)

Plunderhere.com is a good site coming up.

bonanza? how is it?:violin:

ebay (3)....by far, makes me the most $$
ecrater (1)...a few sales a month...helps
Blujay(1)...picking up for me....#2 for me but way way less the the almighty bay

Since i have never had an Amazon account.....i might just give it a shot real soon since i don't sell any high risk items at all

i might just as well put the time into some of these other free listing sites also...

summer is here and i really like to fish and hang out at the lakes,,,,ALOT

Going to be good to experiment.

Etsy rocks for your own creations.

On the whole the customers are OK.

I've done bulk orders with a couple of different sellers.

Top quality workmanship.

Have a lady in Poland who hand-makes an item I use. Just aces :clap:


Even using paypal there with (few) problems.

Etsy works off of pp ...hope other choices available.

Etsy is actually working itself up there pretty well.

Same with Delcampe.net, id say its more of an old head site, not to many young guys on there.

Yes sellers have the option of other payment methods.

A good feature( at the moment) is the availaility of being able to have a 'converstation' with the seller/buyer to arrange a transaction.

It's possible to have 'special' listings.

But ( because there are always butts in real life) etsy will pull listings or close down a shop. Not heard of ayone ever finding a explanation.:smash:

Last point sounds like eBay.

What do you mean by "special listings"??

By the way, do any of these sites require verification with credit card or phone or anything?

Yes, Almost all require a VCC on the account. Etsy checks AVS VCC.

Same for Bon.a.nza

Do these sites have a Vero-like thing going on?

Is it ok to sell Vero stuff on them?

Do they do things like restrict or suspend your account without warning, like eBay?

Thanks.

Yes they do. They show up in Google, so IP lawyers easily find them and send cease & desist letters like they would any other e-commerce site. Just because they are not EB, doesn't mean they will be complete ignorant dumb*sses to what's being trafficked on their site.

I never thought about that, scary.

eh i wish i could edit this, there are more i would like to add :D
