    Who competes with Ebay?

    I would like to find another auction site that does things a little differently.
    Like rotating all listings to the top of the page instead of only having
    "featured listing" there all the time.

    Some categories on ebay have 20-100 pages of featured listings before
    you even get to the regular listings.

          Yeah, sure seems that way.

          I know they make a ton from the "featured" fee but something tells
          me they would make more by making more things sell.

          They show a million featured items, but they could probably show 50 million regualr items with a rotation in those spots.

                      That's great for people who know what they want to buy, but useless for
                      people who just click into a few categories to see what's there.

                              Browsing ebay not knowing what I want only leads to trouble.

                                      http://www.bidtopia.com/ is a one.. They were E-bays top power seller but got tired of dealing with E-bay so they started their own site.

                                                      "All auctions start at .99cents and no reserve."

                                                      RISKY!!!

                                                      But maybe it makes buyers be more agressive because they know it's going to sell.
                                                      Yet that dosen't seem to matter much on ebay when I have no reserve.

They'll knock off like 5 cents from a listing fee and boast about it, then when you scroll down, you'll see that they raised up to final value fees enough that the 5 cent savings in listing isn't gonna do much when they pull more out of you when the auciton ends.
