    ebay has plenty of competition already & is more than happy to lose sellers to their rivals by increasing listing fees & FVFs.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

    Like who?

    Amazon are fine but their fees are higher and you need to list against a catalogue. Play is a possible, but again you are listing against a catalogue and ebid still has no buyers.

    I think the only contender and only for local deals is selling on Facebook, but that is extremely limited both in market and the type of goods that sell.
