Are there any good alternatives to eBay?

Answer 1

This related link is a unique bid auction site that donates to individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer. It has a different auction style that allows users access to products way below suggested retail price.

Ebay is still the 800 pound gorilla of the online auction sites, and you should use it, if you like their present policies and fees. But, there are real reasons to go to other alternative auction sites. Have you ever listed a vintage red rider BB gun, or an antique ivory letter opener on Ebay? You soon discover that the listing is terminated, you are still charged all the fees for the ended auction, and are warned that they are watching you and if you repeat listing another banned item you will be suspended. Ealtbay.com is an alternative auction site that caters to those legal to own, and sell, items that are banned on Ebay. Ealtbay encourages listing these non-Ebay items. It allows you to accept payment in any legal form of payment, including cash check, money order, other online payment options, MC, visa, and even PayPal -the options are up to the seller -not controlled by the auction site. Also, Ealtbay allows negative, neutral, and positive feedback for buyers, they do not always deserve positive feedback. All together this site does offer a real alternative to the 800# gorilla.

eBid.net is one that I have heard good things of, but I have never used it personally.

Check out Dubli in the related link below. They are world wide, or nearly so, and use the reverse auction method of selling which is really gaining in popularity.

Ebay is getting greedy and sellers are having to close shops due to increasing fees and changed policies.

Also, eBay does not allow you to communicate anything negative about the fees or policies on their forums, so the powersellers started their own website called PowerSellersUnite and there is a tremendous amount of good info there about eBay's fees and policies and also alternative sites to sell your things.
