Hate eBay - Find an Alternative!

Anyone who has read my pages knows that I have spent some time writing about eBay and their affiliate program. Not only under this pen name, but under some others, as well.

The following is an open invitation to those U.S. and Canadian residents who are sick of paying ever increasing fees to sell their items on eBay. It is also for those residents who have been scammed, ripped off, or cheated when buying something on eBay.

As a webmaster and programmer I decided to quick bitching and start doing. I could continue to write my complaints, but would it change anything that eBay is going to do? No.

eBay will continue to raise selling fees, they will continue to favor those "power sellers" while turning their backs on the very foundation of those that made them a giant - the mom and pop shops, the yard salers, and the attic cleaners. eBay will continue to let people be cheated by foreign sellers who should have been banned long ago.

They will simply maintain their profit margin to appease the stockholders and their own greed.

Why? because eBay thinks they have the market to themselves when it comes to auction sites. How mistaken they are!

There are alternatives to eBay, if you want them. What they need to be successful is your participation and you can participate even while continuing to sell on eBay, if you desire. There are sites such as Amazon and uBid, but these too can eat into profit when fees are tallied. What you need is to begin again with a site that is new, fresh and created by someone just as angry with eBay as you are. You need an auction website that doesn't want to become a corporation that has to answer to stockholders.

You need Yabexe.com. (That's ex-eBay spelled backwards, by the way.)

Created with everything eBay has to offer, but even more. There you will find a free store, feedback, the ability to offer immediate purchase, security, free image uploading, a mail system, and everything else familiar to eBay users.

What is also available are things that eBay doesn't have, such as a "1-strike and out" policy (rip off someone and get banned), the ability to offer "Swap" if you're willing to exchange items in lieu of payment, a Verified Seller Program, Reverse Auctions, and more.

As time progresses and programmers make more eBay alternatives your opportunity at keeping your money from sales or finding a great deal at a great price from the small seller will only increase. The key is you, though. Keep selling on eBay because you think it is the only game in town, or try something new, different, and better, but needing your help to make it viable.

The choice is yours. Help me help you by participating on Yabexe.com, or continue losing money on eBay.
