We all know that eBay is the King Kong of auction sites. There are also sites like Yahoo! Auctions, Half.com, etc.

For those of you that are regular eBay sellers. Have you tried the other auctions sites, if so, have you had good success there? Or is it not worth the effort to list on other auction sites?

I too am curious about the next best place for auction selling and buying. I am getting a bad taste in my mouth over eBay`s fees. Maybe you (Valien) should make a poll and list all the other potential auction sites. Maybe intentionally leave eBay out and see what people answer they know of, or are interested in.

Here is a starter list from me…
Overstock.com
Yahoo.com
Ubid.com
Webiz.com
Shopgoodwill.com
Auctionfire.com
Buyselltrades.com

Here is a good one that I have used several times in the past.
It is called Ioffer.com.(http://www.ioffer.com)
It is free to list as many items as you wish, and it even automatically makes you a store with all your items in it.
The only charges are from when an item actually sells.
The way it works is you list your item and your asking price. If someone is interested, they send you an offer for the item(most of the time lower than your asking price), and then it up to you wheather you accept the offer or decline the offer.
They have a really nice set and it is really easy to use.

Hey all,

Whew. Life gets busy really fast sometimes. hehe.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback and even some additional links. I`ll hit those and see what they look like. I`ve not looked at the recent eBay fee changes recently but will be doing so shortly as I gear up to start selling online. :)
