eBay Alternatives No One Talks About

With the rising fees and increased seller competition
on eBay, many astute eBay sellers are now looking
for other online auction venues.

Surprisingly, while eBay still dominates the
online auction market place, there are some
pretty interesting alternate online auction sites.

Below are some pretty good online auction
sites that can help eBay sellers that are looking for
more options.

Some of the following online auction sites
distinguish themselves from eBay by
charging a monthly membership fee
instead of any listing or transaction
charges.

Other sites charge similar listing
fees, or even higher fees than eBay,
but cater to a more focused market segment
that is more appropriate for your items.

You will usually receive a better selling price
when offering your item to the exact
market that needs it, as opposed
to the general market place.

Online Auction Sites:

Auction.com

Liquidation.com

Bidtopia.com

Specialistauctions.com

Webidz.com

Bidville.com

Bonanzle.com

eBid.net

Overstock.com

ePier.com

TheSOCExchange.com

iOffer.com

OnlineAuction.com

Craigslist.com

SalvageSale.com

Ubid.com

While none of these sites can
compete with eBay in terms of traffic,
you can still benefit since your expenses
will be lower, so you will keep a higher percentage
of your online auction proceeds.

I would not recommend dropping eBay,
but I would suggest setting up auctions
and listing your merchandise on some of these
other sites.

You never know on which site your ideal customer
is shopping.
