    Depending on your goods you could look at setting up a Facebook selling page. The only other real alternative to eBay is amazon, but their fees are higher than eBay.

    If you are just a casual seller with stuff to sell, then maybe a car boot?

    We have a couple or 3 local auction/selling sites on Facebook.

    You could start up one of your own locally.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I like preloved - free listings and no sellers fees! I managed to get a sofa off there when I moved into my own place :) I've seen a few things on there, never sold anything myself though

    gumtree, vivastreet, friday ad and local papers classified adverts some are totally free on line others charge for items over certain value
    I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.

    Dead in the water now- nice and easy to list on but no buyers at all, it missed its chance to do well about 6-7 years ago.
