    So I become clever now to buy products in not very popular website.
    It is cheap and good service. But I will compare it with other websites.
    This blouse is what I bought just now. Oh, sorry I can't send the pic.
    In dailyshop.com/dailydeal.
    I check it everyday to wait its dailydeal for discount.
    I did enjoy more profits from it.

    eBay has gotten greedy and they will continue to lose sellers. I think one thing everyone over looks though is the only market is not just in The US or UK. Australia is about half of what the states are and get just as much traffic. On eBay it doesn't matter about the traffic because you know that the people are all buyers. That is why they are an eBay. Also, getting to certain levels with eBay is what can really set you apart from other sellers and drive more traffic to your website.

    Did you know that if you get 10 people who give you a good rating you can post home page ads? This is one secret that not to much people know but know you do so get to work and get good ratings.
    Hope this helps

    I agree generally that eBay has got way too greedy with costs on EVERYTHING.

    But if you pick a profitable market you can still make more money selling on eBay than elsewhere - its still the best place online to sell collectables for example.

    Yep, I agree with you all... I know this first hand because I was an employee of eBay. And I know almost every fee to the scams to even to the EBP.

    I just sold a few items and noticed eBay took 12% of my total....Plus PayPal (Who is owned by eBay) took another 3%......
    This is ridiculous!!!!

    eBay is very expensive but they still command the lions share so can charge what they want. For those looking for an alternative in the UK, we have setup redooce.com which is an auction site with a difference in that prices go down every 24 hours.

    Although we are still small, we need sellers to help us grow and this will take time. But from tiny acorns big things can grow and with your support we hope to offer a cheaper marketplace for everyone to use. We do not charge final sellers fees so you can sell items cheaper with us than on ebay.

    Come and take a look if your in the UK as we tried ebay but struggled to make much money but hopnig that Redooce will help people in a similar position.
