    Well i think it will stop far more than on Feebay. Feedback is the key really. If less than 10 you would want to phone them or be weary of them. My feedback procedure is very good.I can and will alter feedback if there is a dispute. In my opinion there is no need to be nasty in your response on feedback. But you want to be honest.You can leave 1-5 ticks and then a comment.
    So i would advise as with any purchase to read the feedback 1st.
    Lets say your site did take off, and it grew in traffic, to even a tenth of ebay's size, heck even a hundredth. Do you honestly think you could handle all the complaints with the level of care you think? And in a consistent way?

    Not me on my own no. Impossible. Duty of care need a more professional approach. And if i was getting that amount of sales then i would have more staff to deal with these issues.
    You will get complaints as with any business, Its how you deal with them that counts.;)
  • All things being equal, the one for £96. Online though, not all things are equal.

    Exactly right. Common sense tells you to go for the lower priced one.

    Can you link to your site?

    I'm pretty sure it won't constitute spam

    But you need to pay your staff, could you sustain the wage bill on the low fees?

    But what about the otehr half off my post? On somewhere like ebay or amazon, I'd view the £4 as insurance.

    Yes. This has been factored in.

    So the site is actually up and running then?
