How many items you have on site ?

There are no bugs, but I'm the only one currently listing items on the site.

I really dont want to sound rude or so, but wasnt it you who wants to overtake E bay and was asking for money in exchange for membership in your website?
By all means i wish you luck, but from what i read you probably need to admit its going way slower than it should.
This is polite way to express.

Thank you, I am glad to hear all opinions good or bad.

[itemauctions]

Hello all. Quick update on the site, seller verification fee increased to 9.95 and most likely stay as that thank you.

Keep at it! Driving traffic to your site isn't as hard as people make out you just have to put a lot of work into it. Have you got a blog? Do you use social media to help target your demographic market?

Might I suggest, don't discount old fashioned print advertising. Most people assume everyone is on facebook and twitter etc, and most are however I for one pay absolutely 0 attention to any ads that pop up on web pages. I don't click on banner ads etc. As I just don't trust them and most of them are junk sites. However if I see an ad in the paper, a magazine, even a flyer on my windshield I am more inclined to at least read it and I have more confidence that its legit. So don't limit your advertising footwork just to the digital realm. even if you get 10 local people on your site that is 10 more than you have now.

Blog would have to be very big and popular

[itemauctions]

Hey guys the old site is taken down completely along with too much competition from eBay. I am excited to give it one last try, this time I will deliver the next best auction site, a lot better than the last.

[rsot]

Oh crap - so it's gone? shelved?

[itemauctions]

Yep the old site is gone forever in the trash, it's full of bugs and I wasted a ton of time.

[rsot]

Sad to hear - at least you nailed the cause

You were trying to achieve something.

Better than others who never bother.

Good Luck for the future.

Failing is the best way to succeed, once you realize what went wrong you can retry and make it better.

Get into Google Shopping. Without it, your site will be lost with the rest.

There are tons of sites just like you. You need to get ahead of them and show some face. I only sell outside of EB and AZ, but I won't touch your site if my items don't post to Google.

I have both types of stores running at all times. The ones in Google make sales. The ones not in Google sell absolutely NOTHING using the same exact products.

No such thing as failure per se - you either succeed at finding what works or you succeed at finding what doesnt work and go from there

[exxomscp]

Lol. I just noticed it looks like the very old old old 90s EB design..

[zoneout]

90s Retro is very chic and cool. Great idea.

[rsot]

I liked the colour scheme - similar to 90s retro and yet was visually appealing
