free ebay alternative

ebay alternative called freebay its free to list not too sure about t's & c's but my theory is why pay to list when you can list free? http://www.freebay-auction.co.uk

It may be free but it is not popular and gets only 80 hits a day so i dont think you will be able to sell much.

The site may be good in the future when/if more people join

but the more of us that use it the busier it will become

thats exactly my point for posting here as everyone uses ebay this is free so if we all use it the saving possibilitys are endless not only that you dont need a credit or debit card so we can beat the banks too

I will be looking at it regularly.

Wow, on the featured auctions page there is a pirate copy of the Da Vinci Code, a !!!!!! site, 5 ads for other websites and someone selling what is probably a free email address. That leaves only 4 genuine auctions out of 12. :rolleyes:

heard about a site today called craigs list, not been on there but sounds good, completely free apparently.

Wow, I got really excited when I thought that they actually had 1 CD for auction in the Rock catagory but when I got there the cupboard was bare.

Also it might be good for buying on as on the frontpage the on 2 items with bids are for 1p each so you may get a bargain but wouldn't touch with a bargepole for selling unless you want 1p for one of your items.

LOL..............I've lost count of the amount of free auction sites that have launched (and failed dismally) over the years.

I would rather pay a fee to Ebay and have a possible audience of over 10 million people in the UK (or over 150 million worldwide), than not pay a fee and only have a couple of hundred people look at my item.

This subject has been discussed many times on this site, and the overall opinion has always been that being free is not enough to tempt users away from Ebay and the massive sales opportunties you have with so many users.
