    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Thanks " very much " for all this guys . Very helpful. On the ph no , most car auctions or anything heavy duty seem to have their ph no included in their write up and my class' ad had a box for it so now that's at the top of the ad with the price, it must be allowed these days. But I have just...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Thanks Ace. I'm trying a fixed price class' ad I think they call it this this week. Do you use it with big ticket stuff - what do you think ? What's the best way to respond to filthy offers ? I've had two come in so far on this one , less than 1/2 my ask , it's a 15k van. No need to ask how...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    And what's this idiot feedback rubbish , do you realize that in a lot of case , you CAN NOT leave a negative feedback . Ebay keeps the bloody negative feedback box blank and they'll only let you use the positive box . What in the hell is that ? Tell you right now , back in the days of ringing...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Do you think . I've been following Gumtree since it was a baby , always loved it and knew it would do well. And just try putting an ad on Gumtree , as compared with bloody ebay - now that's more like it. The only problem is as I say I've had no action with my vans on it.

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Yeah and this is one of my biggest points , it's nothing like real life and so your getting all these little nit picker a/hs riding that one and you all the way if you break one of their bs rules . Really crazy stuff. And now I find out that even Emma was a machine :( I feel so dirty ...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Well bloody bloody . That's upset me because it was like at last , a human ! But what's really p'd me off is that that probably means my little sweetheart - Emma , from the week before , was a machine too . That's cruel I really liked her.

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Yep , exactly the reply I expected. You sound just like 1/2 those ebay people I was on about . BS , OK , the house , you set a reserve , it might start 100k below that, even more - but it's passed in if it doesn't reach your reserve. You have the right to set a reserve . A house never starts...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    And see , here we are again , yet more threats . It's one crazy bloody system compared to life 15 yrs ago let me tell you. And why did it happen , because the fools won't let you put a reserve on it and why is that , because it doesn't have a motor - what !!!!! More like that way more people...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Your joking , that's a machine too :eek: I spent an hr with one of those the other morning because ebay chopped one of my auctions and it was a biggie. So here I am at 6am doing what , typing in crap to yet another machine . It was at that point I began thinking I can't make this work , I can't...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    Thanks guys. Yeah I mean it's got the lot and the thought of going back to answering phones or waiting around isn't all that appealing. And some of the odds and ends I've offloaded , there's no other way you'd get rid of them and they'd usually be thrown out in the end which is a shame. And...

    Is there a viable alternative to ebay ?

    I depended on the trading post for my Melbourne business back then , well that's been Telstra'd . It was also the only paper I ever found in Vic , where by I could sell anything , from anywhere. So where we live now , ebay is really my only option. Local papers never get much and they cost a...
