Alternatives to Ebay
 

Anyone had success with other sites besides ebay, if yes please list benefits and cons.

Also the pricing structure and how many sold in a month or over lifetime, thanks.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Use the search function, no one has the time to list everything you just asked.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

What do you use?

Why are you looking away from ebay?

:juggle:

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

I'm looking to becomes less dependent on ebay. Looking to sell on other sites as well, you diversity in case **** goes sideways.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

I tried couldn't find anything, maybe on the desk top version it would be easier.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Users will not exactly give a break-down of income etc.

What other sites do yourself know and might think of using?

Would using them suit your business plan?

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Well I heard of ecrater and ioffer but I only sold on eBay before until recently I have been suspended indefinitely so I'm trying to find alternatives while I'll still be selling on eBay with stealth accounts.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Best to go diverse - good thinking - any experience on your end or ideas to consider?

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Well I have seen ecrater items advertised on Google shopping so I'm thinking I'll go that route. Etsy have a ton of traffic but you can only sell homemade ****.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Etsy is a handmade and vintage items website.
However there are many items that you can turn into
a handmade with some simple adjustments, there are
also items you can sell in a category of "selling tools to
create a certain product". There is an endless list of those
kind of items.
There are many options on Etsy, just need some imagination.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Look into Amazon then too

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Rubbish.

Go over ETSY and check for yourself.

Chances exist if you look carefully enough.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

I found a new site that's pretty awesome to sell on but I don't want to give it away for competition reasons, sorry about that but I'm doing very well there and I intend to keep it that way.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

:doh: Then why even bother mentioning it?

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Quibids or whatever seems to cater to some bidders

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

But you want us to spill the beans on our business with platforms, units sold, etc....?!?!?!?!?

:shhh:

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Ya basically

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Take everything and give nothing does not work well for many. I wish ya luck with that!

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Bro Ebay,Amazon and Eatsy are the top sites where you can make a great living selling on it..

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Agreed! Useless post!

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

I sell brand new stuff so etsy is not a viable path

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

There's this other awesome marketplace that everybody here sells on. Maybe you should try there.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

I do not think that out of the THOUSANDS of Posts that I have read on this site that there is one that is as IGNORANT as this one.

Do you really want us to believe that you are selling on a Hot New site that ONLY you know about? With THOUSANDS of members here scouring the internet 24/7 looking for the same thing.

Let me tell you something, Sites like Ebay, Amazon, ect,ect, go out and look for US (sellers), they NEED Sellers with good products to sell on their sites so that they can make a commision. So you have a new site that wants to keep itself a secret,,,Bull$hit,,,,Is it possible that what you are really looking for is other members here to send you a private message offering to trade you their "secret" sites for yours?

There really is NO PLACE for idiots like you on this forum,,,Either Pack up, or GROW up,,

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

First of all I was not saying that no one knows about it cause obviously I wouldn't have traffic what I'm saying is that it was not mentioned on this forum, second of all I'm not an idiot, I started selling on ebay last July and from July to End of December I sold $64,000 worth of stuff, idiots wouldn't sell that much.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Everyone's number is different. I have months with ebay fees more than that and I know sellers who think my numbers are pretty gosh darn small. Everything is a matter of perspective.
Your view is pretty narrow and your attitude sucks.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

So what your saying is you made about 640,000 gross sales in a month if your fees were that much, second of all I don't keep any inventory at all, third of all out was my first time ever selling online so I think it's not bad for a first timer, sorry if I appear to be ass hole, I'm planning on starting to buy inventory and selling online but I was suspended from eBay indefinitely for having 1.07 in item not as described so I'm trying to get my new ebay account a little older,

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Everyone's numbers are different and we all have a unique perspective. Personally I could not care less about how much money gets collected. It is all about how much you get to keep. My huge months gross are normally my least profitable months, but it all depends on who's money I am using. I gladly will sell a million or two and only keep 8-12% if I have no skin in the game. If you are selling like you have and not using your own money, KUDOS! It is best to make money with no money. ROI is infinite that way and minimal risk.

Anyways, I wish you luck. You seem to want everything and give nothing. Take time and build relationships, offer support to others and maybe you will get the same in return.
:peace:

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Are you dropshipping on ebay? That's what I have been doing, first get paid then use the person's money to buy the item and manufacturer and they ship it to the customers.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

No, I do not drop ship per say. I like more control than. Drop shipping is great but you risk slow tracking, not as described and inventory issues come up regularly. It sounds like you have experienced some of this already.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Case Closed

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

The only issue I have encountered is either item was damaged during shipping or and items running out of stock. The suppliers I use have 2 day shipping and some bigger items have 5 day shipping, so I never had a problem with shipping speed or tracking but your right, not as much control.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

anyone ever use Quibids? I saw this the other day and an ad saying people can get Taylerlmade and Callaway clubs for like 92% below retail.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

To sell...I havent explored yet.

To buy...it's a sham...paying X amount of money to bid? Ugh

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

Haha, you know how those sc.ams work right?

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

LOL, Every bid cost money.....It's so dumb and yet they make Quibid look like people are paying far below retail price. Every time someone bids....the clock resets to a specific time.

Re: Alternatives to Ebay
 

There's literally like a billion clone websites. People still fall for that nonsense just like MLM/Pyr.am.id schemes.

I remember when they first started like 10 f*cking years ago. I spoke with someone who got in on the scheme early before everyone jumped on the idea. They made a godd@mn fortune sca.mm.ing all the n00bs of course.

Pennies per click really do add up
