I have registered for the 90 day free pitch at www.ibootsale.co.uk and listed my 25 items.There are not many traders on there yet and I wonder why not?There really are no fees at all.They must make their money through small banner adverts on the sites main page.
If you accept paypal payments then you have paypal fees but nothing else.Its great.If you dont sell something theres absolutely no listing fees unlike on feebay.

To start selling for free I just clicked on pay after registering but didnt select a payment method and it said payment recieved.
Its easy to list,very simple,oh and did I mention its FREE.

    I got put off by the person who haggled me down, then failed to pay when I accepted.

    Then when I put the item back on sale, they 'bought' it, then yet again failed to pay. Yawn.

    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    looks almost as cheap and tatty as bootsales do to me
  • I use ibootsale quite a bit, but sales can be slow. Shame because i like this site
  • Well I have had my items listed since the beginning of the month and no sales yet.I have bought 2 items from another seller and I do like the site.I will stay on there too since its free.I hope it gets busier.

    we have had 20 items on there for 37 days now and heared nothing, as far is we are concerned it's just a useless waste of time

    I registered yesterday and have filled my pitch today. Whilst i was filling it i sold 2 lots :j:D So i am very happy. I have found this much better than ebay.

    Have any of you tried putting the link to it in you homepage part on here? You know when you click a name on here it says visit homepage. This may be a good way to get it advertised as you're not allowed to post a direct link in the threads! ;) HTH someone
