Below you will find a very comprehensive and ‘exhaustive” directory of tons of alternatives to ebay. Majority are general merchandise (new or used), except as noted, many are free, some are fixed-price while others are up for bid or negotiation. A combination of auction, live-auction, marketplace, classified, etc. Some are large incorporated companies, others could be smaller entrepreneurs just starting out while most are somewhere in the middle. Majority are based in the United States, but a select few I’ve listed are based in Canada, United Kingdom, Australia & New Zealand – Many allow sales internationally. I would guess that at least 95% of these are still in operation since this list was compiled a few months back and updated within the last 2 weeks. Due to the nature of the internet with mergers and buy-outs, these listings are sure to fluctuate. This should give anyone with an interest of selling online an incredible opportunity to shop & compare – Do check ‘em out. No guarantees are made as to which one will out-perform others however one thing is certain. They are ALL here as an alternative to ebay who has the ‘universally” recognized name but has gotten TOO BIG for it’s own good and has also gotten waaaaaaaay out of hand with their fees and policies! Good Luck and Happy Searching!

The auction site many think will become the big favorite is TheDeadSkunk.com , it's being tipped to be voted best new online auction website of 2009.
ReplyDeleteWe think TheDeadSkunk will set new standards in giving the seller and buyer just what they want.
This is already reflected in some of the pre-emptive price and structure adjustments made by some of our better known auction sites.
TheDeadSkunk could be the saviour many sellers are praying for,but the cynic in me predicts "if and when" TheDeadSkunk does receive the votes and accolades it could and should deserve, then the big players will just come in with a buy-out offer.Let's hope this never happens.
TheDeadSkunk is a British run auction site, and we know how well the Brits do at our Oscars; lets hope the direction behind the TheDeadSkunk is just as masterful.For every sellers sake.
