  1. Re:alternatives - eBid.net by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on eBay To Disallow Checks and Money Orders In US

    Serendipitously, eBid.net officially launched today in the U.S. See the news here. Their fees are far, far lower, and they want to grab all the customers eBay is going to lose.

  2. Ebay digging its own grave by Pietzki · · Score: 1 · on EBay Deal Irritates Individual Sellers

    I know, I know, they're powerful and all, but when a company becomes too ignorant and irritates its customers too much (by that I mean the sellers) they inevitably give the competition (even if they're only small start-ups) a huge chance to start taking over. Here in Australia, alternative sites like Oztion have started to become much bigger since ebay started screwing its sellers. It is getting to the point where they are nearly a local alternative for sellers (especially for sellers who don't sell overseas anyway). Especially since evays little paypal experiment many sellers are looking for alternatives. In New Zealand there's Trademe, and it is also becoming bigger and better every day. As ebay becomes more and more reckless, sites like Bidtopia, eBid, OnlineAuctions, WeBidz and uBid will start seeing more and more sellers flock to them as they are getting sick of ebay screwing them around. Serves 'em right...

  6. There are many alternatives by Andyvan · · Score: 2, Informative · on eBay Battles Power Sellers
    They're all much smaller than EBay, but many of them have been growing very quickly the last 1 1/2 months.

    A good place for general online-selling information is http://powersellersunite.com/. They have a nice chart showing the number of listings on various sites (click on Auction Site Count under Free Auction Tools).

  7. Re:eBay has great solutions! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1 · on eBay Battles Power Sellers

    You must not do much selling on eBay. Sellers need to leave negative feedback to let other sellers know who they will be dealing with. Eliminating negative feedback on buyers renders the safety of specifying qualifications for who can bid on on your auctions useless. There are shady sellers, and there are shady buyers. Both need to be treated as such. Also, there fair alternatives http://ebid.net/
