Other auction sites
Although lots of people are earning from ebay but for small time auctioneers the fees could be too much especially if the listing doesn’t get sold.
Well, I have found other auction sites that are rather more friendly than ebay especially for small time auctioneers.
Gumtree: Gumtree is like a one-stop site for everything from rooms to jobs to dating. It’s more of an online community where people can either buy, sell or swap things.
Swoopo.com: If you sign up they give you a £10 welcome bonus and biddings go up by a penny to 7 pence. Timer runs between 10-20 minutes and if you cannot be online to bid you can set up your accunt to bid for you. You can also bid by phone which cost 50p per call and the items are delivered and as I understand they are not sent by post. So you pay for the delivery.
There are some more like lowestbideurope.co.uk, ebid.net, and uk.madbid.com
And there’s also a localized online shop called cheapcycle which is a yahoo group and listing is absolutely free and since it’s a localized groupings it’s easy to contact the seller.
