Top 10 Online Auction Sites Review

Online auctions are great places for entrepreneurs and bargain shoppers alike. Online auction sites are like giant flea markets; they provide a forum for buyers and sellers to find or sell just about anything.

There are many ways to approach online auctions. For many, selling items on Internet auctions sites is a hobby and a good way to supplement their income. For others, it is a job and way of life. For buyers, it's a great way to find good deals on rare, unusual collectibles or everyday items.

We found eBay to be the largest, most well-known, organized and comprehensive online auction service available. Often, it is the first place people go when shopping for auction products. There wasn't anything we couldn't find on eBay. Although eBay may be the highest priced auction we reviewed, we also found they have the highest exposure and membership. With eBay, you're getting more bang for your buck. eBay is THE name in online auctions, and for good reason. eBay has the most complete lineup of features for buyers and sellers alike.

OZtion offers a unique, streamlined auction experience. The simple site layout and easy navigation make OZtion a great option for your online auctions. OZtion is primarily an Australian auction venue, but has quite a bit of international traffic and potential. We'd like to see some other auction sites take advice from the OZtion team "down under."

WeBidz includes many useful features with your membership, including the Auction Managing software. The search and category features are its biggest asset, but WeBidz is missing some additional communication features and has a significantly smaller community.

CQout is an okay online auction site, offering several features and a healthy user base. Unfortunately, the user base is pretty small compared to other top reviewed online auction sites , and CQout lacks some additional features and suffers in usability.

For easier to use online auction services, read our reviews of eBay., eBid and OnlineAuction.

uBid is a reliable auction site for buyers looking to purchase excess inventory, especially consumer electronics. However, selling is not available to the common user, and so uBid isn't a great place for bargain hunters or at-home sellers. Also, uBid primarily utilizes Dutch auctions, which is great for people looking for multiple items, but can potentially relegate a bidder who just wants one item.

ePier has a decent user base and some nice features, but lacks some advanced features and doesn't offer nearly as much usability as other online auction sites. ePier has received an unsatisfactory rating from the Better Business Bureau due to a pattern of unanswered complaints concerning billing and collection, warranty, and refund or exchange issues. We suggest you look at our higher reviewed online auction services to find a better place to buy and sell your items. For the best online auction site, see our review of eBay. Or if you're looking for an eBay alternative, see our reviews of eBid and OnlineAuction.

ShopGoodwill is a nice auction site and a pretty good place for collectors and people looking for unique antiques. But the userbase and number of auctions is limited, and the site lacks several advanced features and some functionality. ShopGoodwill is a decent auction site; it just isn't complete.

For a more complete online auction experience check out eBay, eBid or OnlineAuction.
