ebay for BIG fish only

[ask]

I have been selling on ebay for years.. and to be honest it's getting much harder.. Much harder...

With super fee's and Shop rates.. Life selling on ebay has got much tougher..

There are a few ebay alternatives out there... and not charging the earth to sell your products..

What are your feelings on this folks..

Yes ebay has gone downhill over the last year, still a good place to buy stuff,but if your a seller its time to move on.

I allso have listings on bidmate.com.au

Yeah i know its in Australia but if you are allready posting there which i do its ok,

Free listings for 90 days yes 90 DAYS only pay 10% FSF,
Obvisously i only sell light stuff but ive had a few desent orders from there, they pay the postage
But i have to add that i havnt had any sales on there as i think they are a put back in ordering from the UK, BUt i get few on Ebay at least 10 a week, It allso goes to USA
It is good exposure for worldwide coverage plus they dont mind reffering to outside websites as i have my web address embeded on all my images giving my website exposure plus i have told them in my add i sell on ebay too ,
I am or was the person selling my goods on there, as in Screws,

I hope this helps at least some one

Thats a great bit of info, Its worth putting your stuff on just for the advertising alone, are you allowed to put links back to your own website ? Will take a look when I have some spare time... Thanks for sharing that with us...Nice post

HI Selboy

I dont know about the links bit, i would have to read the T&Cs again, which i really dont want to lol,
I Know one thing is that they dont mind needabolt.com going through my images, which ebay do mind and links to websites too, i have around 20 listings on there out of my 200+ on ebay,
they havnt said anything as of yet, i been there around 4 weeks now,
Yeah great for advertising

Just had a quick look, they do not use paypal and want seller fees paid into your account in advance.. how do you pay your fees, and how do you receive payment when items are sold ?

Sorry my mistake, they do use paypal

[needabolt]

AS i said i havt had a sale on there yet,
My listings say they accept paypal , but paypal allso accept credit cards aswell so this is fine,
As for sellers fees up front, thay gave me $80 upfront as per banner says so,
heres the link in case you went somewhere else

Good Luck to you both but I dont really think many of the guys down under will buy from the UK
