    The only other site mentioned above that I have used for general items is ebid, and frankly it was a waste of time. I listed my usual ebay stuff, but at a lower price and after a week auctions finished without the counters ever having moved off '1'. Those same items sold for more the following week on ebay.

    With regard to your elmos. are other ones finishing at a significantly higher price? If they are also finishing low then you know you have lost the market and may need to either save them until nearer Christmas or sell now at a loss. If others are selling then look to see what they are doing that you are not, how is your feedback, have you any 'odd' terms in your auctions that might be putting others off, do you take paypal?

    All those questions also apply for any other items where there are other sellers..do your research, work out what you are paying for and how you can reduce those fees.

    Soo
