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.

No one really.

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.

"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.

fujiko 02-18-2008 09:37 PM

Yeah .. ebay is a fat monster .. They need a competitor.

Lonny 02-18-2008 09:38 PM

overstock.com as well as ubid.com does the auction thing, dont know bout the rotating feature but doesnt hurt to check em out..

The only bad thing about using some of these other smaller auction sites is that you're auctions aren't gonna get the exposure that Ebay can give, thus, your items will more than likely sell for a lot less :(

The biggest thing I hate about Ebay is the way they raise their fees. 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.

Yes and no. Your item can get burried on ebay and get worse exposure than
some smaller sites.
