Alternatives to Ebay 

EBay Boycot has Many Looking for a New Alternative

Many angry eBayers launched a boycott against eBay or feebay as they would call it. You can view full details on the boycott here at WebPro News Long term eBay users are just plain fed up with eBay's greed. Since eBay started many people have been loyal customers but now eBay wants to get greedy and give their LOYAL customers less bang for their buck! The constant raising of fees and the limitations they are putting on feedback is a big slap in the face for everyone. They tend to forget who made them what they are! They are trying to run off the little people and only keep the customers who are "power sellers" who spend a fortune with them. This is wrong on so many levels! Ebay will crumble and in time just become a faint Internet memory!

So many people are turning to Craigs List. But, what most don't know is that Craigs List is partially owned by eBay, along with a number of other sites out there. Sure you can list certain thing for free, but you have to list it city by city. There isn't a store option or any other options for that matter. Lets face it how long do you think it will take for eBay to make Craigs List completely overpriced as well?

There are alternatives. We at USAuctionsLive.com have seen this coming for a long time. And like many of you we too were tired of being ripped off by eBay! We decided to take it to the next level and create an auction site that allowed live auction to be enjoyable once again. The sheer thought of having to pay out a large percentage of your hard earned sale is sickening! Our site is completely FREE! We don't charge listing fees, or end of auction fees. We believe our customers should actually make a profit, not give it all to us.

We want encourage people not to give up on live auctions. So, for all of you former eBayers list what ever you want for free and utilize all of our features and see that the auction world can still be enjoyable. just go to www.usauctionslive.com Then sit back and see it is possible to get back in the game.

My final valuation fee went from $23.77 to $38.88 overnight.

CabinFeverStudios says:

I shut my doors May 1 and have no plans of going back. It is impossible to build a business plan with all their changes. I have had my items all over the net and sales are slow, but I don't think that will last forever.

I have been keeping up with ebay news on www.powersellersunite.com. Really informative location!

Ebay continues to tighten the noose around the individual sellers, even some of their big ones! Amazing to watch a giant try to change away from their successful business model (auction format). It is not looking good for them, even if their numbers are up. How many of those numbers come from (non-fee paying) buy.com?

Scott says:

The boycott really didnt do anything, their listing numbers are still pretty high right now, even with the numbers from buy they are still higher than last year at this time. I will stay with ebay until a REAL alternative comes along and right now there are no real alternatives to make me say I will just leave ebay and go somewhere else. I think most people that sell full time as a job think the same thing.

http:roseannstreasures.com is a good alternative to ebay.

TheHammer says:

I checked out US Auctions Live GREAT site!

Disagree

RyanRE says:

Can I say that I am indifferent? I can't say that I am really loyal to e-Bay, but I certainly wouldn't go so far as to boycott them either.

TheSunAlsoRises says:

they've got scale on their side. i think it's a great thing to have online. and i like competition.

Sellers Beware! 

Just a little helpful information to help internet store owners BEAT the Scammers out there.

So many countries outside the U.S. are trying to scam people trying to make an honest living on the internet. From my experience Nigeria is the most active in this criminal ring. They tend to target people selling high priced items; offering to pay with a cashiers check or money order. In addition they even GENEROUSLY offer to pay you a large sum of money for prompt shipping. I have recently come to find out they have stepped up their scams as far as using PAYPAL as a medium for payment. The ask for a PayPal invoice and they CLAIM to make their payment. They send fraudulent emails that appear to come from service@paypal.com that payment was made. However, the email claims that funds wont be released until the shipment tracking number is entered.

We need to put a stop to these criminals! Never accept payment in the form money orders and cashiers checks for products. If they are not willing to go through the payment method you offer it is probably a scam. If you get caught up in the PayPal scam know that payment will show up on your PayPal account and they will NEVER just send you a generic email saying they are holding your funds until you confirm shipment. These people will even go as far as sending you emails from PayPal claiming they reported you to the FBI for non shipment. IGNORE them. Your best recourse is to forward all emails to spoof@paypal.com and they will disable it. In addition PayPal offers a free software download called iconix. This software will run with your defalt email and display a security symbol on all authentic PayPal emails.

In addition we need to report all parties to Interpol and the FBI. These people feel that they can take advantage of us. This is very discuraging to many of us as we are all trying to make an honest living on the internet. We all need to ban together to STOP these criminals from damaging our business. I want everyone to be aware of this fraudulent activity so you don't get caught up in this nonsense and lose valuable money. I truely belive awareness is the first step in putting an end to their ILLEGAL practice.
