Italianprincess1976 @Italianprincess1976 (263) • United States 27 Feb 07

My husband and I have started our own small woodworking business. We started selling our products at local craft fairs, but between gas prices and the fees for the craft fairs I'm lucky if I break even most of the time. So we've...

alternatives The first thing I will say is don't list at ebay - their fees are now ridiculous. Go and have a look at the forums on ebid.net, join and get listing - it is FREE. It is nowhere near as established as ebay, however you do have the option (I think this is...

Besides Ebay, what other auction sites do you sell on?

kymommy72 @kymommy72 (588) • United States 6 Feb 08

I sell on mom pack auctions, yahoo ( before they closed it down) occasionally on bidville, and I am going to set up a Esty account soon. What about you?

alternatives I have totally given up on greedy ebay. The rising star and new kid in the block is ebid.net and it is FREE to list. I have been with ebid.net for over two years now and was running this in tandem with ebay until 8 months ago when I totally gave up on...

alternatives Yes. Ebid.net, free listing fees. I could go on and on about how great ebid.net is, but pop over to thier forums and have a read. You will need to encourage your old ebay customers over, but I can see that happening soon anyway - many big ebay sellers with...

Seller Protection

candy111 @candy111 (240) • Philippines 9 Feb 08

Do you think that ebay protects buyers more than they do sellers? I'm from the Philippines, and ebay.ph is relatively new and we are experiencing a flood of buyers that pretty much do not know the "concept" of ebay. These are...
