 What are the best Ebay Alternatives? |
Ebay has a very large stake in the online market place. However, there are some auction sites like eBay where you can sell your goods.
If you are not selling anywhere except on eBay, you are not taking advantage of the opportunities available to online entrepreneurs.
There are quite a few online auction sites, and almost all of them offer much cheaper fees, besides being far more seller friendly and easy to use for both sellers and buyers. |
| 1. Amazon |
|
Listing fees of 10 US cents on all items. Once the sale goes through expect to pay Amazon between 5% and 25 dollars 63 cents plus 1.25%.
|
| 2. Audiogon |
| A four US dollar listing charge. Once you have sold piece of high definition audio equipment on Audiogon expect to pay them 1% of the final sale price for the honor of selling through their service. |
| 3. Bidville |
| Bidville is the second largest online auction site after eBay, and is a true eBay alternative. They do not charge you a listing fee, so you can list as many items as you like. They do charge a Final Value Fee, but it is low at 5% for items that sell for less than $25. If you love the auction format, but hate eBay, Bidville may be right for you. |
