eBay Alternatives Showing Some Success
In years past, alternatives to eBay had a low chance of success, particularly if they were free sites. However, in the market targeted by eBay Express (fixed-price items), it appears this is changing. There are a number of ecommerce sites that have become quite popular. We’re going to look at a couple of them that have an added bonus – they’re free.
At the moment, the most talked about is ECrater (http://www.ecrater.com). This is similar to eBay Express, but is currently far higher ranked on visitor volume than the eBay counterpart. As a buyer, finding items is a little clunky, but there are other benefits. ECrater has a feedback system that already integrates some of the better features of eBay’s Feedback 2.0; the design is very sleek; and it’s not hard getting used to it.

EBay is changing its business approach. It wants to become a secondary market for products, along the lines of an Amazon model. It is relegating its online auction to secondary status. Read the Feb 14 2011 article in FBN/WSJ it explains a whole lot more. This has opened opportunities for alternative internet auctions. Ealtbay is an established alternative, it lets you list for free, has very low final value fees, and you can accept payments in all legal forms –not just PayPal or credit cards.
