  • I use auctiva.

    I would definitely recommend it for their store window. Looks really good on listings.

    And yes it is really free.
  • Yes it's really free, free scheduling, free templates and free supersize photos and I'd recommend it to anyone, any time - the only minor drawback is that they have a maintenance shut down through the night on thursdays, that's OK but it's thursday USA west coast time so that makes it most of friday morning here - I do my photos now on friday mornings instead.

    i'm gonna disagree with others.

    i have used it. it was in my listings along with the window ebay provide (where you can highlight other items you have along with promoting the postage discount)

    the postage discount thing for me is fairly important & i found having 2 windows, offering different messages, to be too much information (esp so for new ebayers) so i have removed auctiva from my listings & stuck with the ebay window. i currently have 12 items showcased at any one time within the ebay window.

    i find the ebay window is easier to use if i want to promote certain items with like-minded auctions

    I have asked that question myself, but with not much sucess!

    In the states they offer shipping insurance, so I'm guessing that is one revenue generator.

    Also in your ebay auction if done through auctiva, the auctiva logo and branding, etc is all over your auction, so they get loads of advertising that way.
