Link- Ebid

I'm posting this mainly for those who use ebay to sell items, especially Ebay are hiking up their fees even more.

Ebid is a growing alternative auction site, with a much lower fee rate and and option of zero fee rates aswell( with a one off fee)

You basically have Three Account types:

Buyer - can just buy items

Seller - has a few more options, can sell no listing fee (for basic auction) but with a set 3% fee of the final price.

Seller+ - the full account, you basically pay a one off payment for a set time (from 7 days up to lifetime) and no listing or price fees (on basic auction)

There are aditional options (such as frontpage featured) which you pay for.

From what I gather from their forums, a lot of the people that use it are happy with the service. You have an alternative to Paypal aswell (PPPay), although they do accept Paypal and Google Checkout.

I hope this is of some help to atleast some of you
