less fees, please!
Some of these auction and marketplace sites are free to list items at, but most of the auction sites charge fees for extras, or a fee if your item sells.
Update: Yahoo! Auctions and Lowbid were removed from the list as they no longer have auctions.
Online auction sites where it's FREE to LIST items
there may be final value fees or other fees though!
- Plunderhere.com
- Pirates are in style, so Plunderhere.com makes a great name for an online auction site. It's free to list all you want here-forever they say! You only pay for attention grabbing extras. They also say that the following are always free: "GALLERY PHOTO, Second Category, Reserve and Buy-It-Now!"
- Bidville.com
- Bidville has over 1 million listings, and does charge a final value fee if your auction sells. They also charge "enhancement fees" to make your auctions bold, featured, etc.
- ebid.net
- When you go to ebid.net, you have to pick a country, then it forwards you to the online auction site for your location. It's free to list auctions, and has a reasonable final value fee, or you can buy a gold subscription where you get an online store and pay no final value fees at all.
- onlineauction.com
- From the site "Registered Users can bid and buy items all they want, paying no fees to OnlineAuction.com.
Sellers are charged only $8.00 per month for Membership on OnlineAuction.com that includes UNLIMITED LISTINGS!"
(I guess I'll list it under the free to list because you don't have to pay "listing fees.")

Manion's List it Yourself website is a good one. They specialize in militaria and historic collectibles, but all collectibles are welcome http://www.listityourselfauctions.com/.
Basic listings are FREE and items can be re-ran indefinitely for FREE as well. The service also offers personal support - that's right you can actually call them up and speak with someone IN PERSON!
The new site was set up by longtime militaria and historic collectibles auction house Manion's International, which operates on a consignment basis (www.manions.com). This is another Internet auction option, where you send in the items and their staff does all the work and sends the consignor a check.
For information about Manion's consignment or List it Yourself auction services, call 866.626.4661.

Check out atomicmall.com. Listings are free, stores are free and the final value fees are low. In addition, the interface is excellent and the site has great promoting tools. I can google my items and they show up in the search!
