yeah. Ebay fee system sucks and customer care sucks even more. But it has pretty awesome traffic. I was never left empty handed when I sold on ebay. love it or hate it ,you WILL make money if you can find some good deals.

You Know in Taiwan everyone uses Yahoo auction and many people here believe it or not do not even know what Ebay or craigslist is
No one else in the rest of the world has had any luck with yahoo auction?
There are currently only three localizations of the service active in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan; Yahoo! has already discontinued the service in United States, Canada, Singapore, United Kingdom and Ireland. The US and Canada sections of the site were closed on June 16, 2007. The Singapore section of the site was closed on September 22, 2008. The UK and Ireland service was closed on June 28, 2002. During the shutdown of the UK and Ireland service, Yahoo! took the unusual step of endorsing its main auctions rival
Yahoo! Auctions was preferred by some sellers for its no-fee policy — all revenue was from advertising.
anyone tried these 3 auction sites and marketed the links to elsewhere in the world???
and anyone tried using yahoo wallet as a replacement for paypal on ebay site?

I don't get it....If you still make money with ebay why complain about the fees ?
Then shut it down, save the fees and stop earning anything there.....
True, the fees are high indeed. But wouldn't you charge people up the yingyang if you could provide that kind of traffic ??

I moved off of ebay & Amazon.
For what I was selling the fees where to high with the limited profit margin and the amount of competition with people selling the same stuff I was.
I've had way better luck with http://yardsellr.com/ I may sell less but I'm also able to charge more for the products and people seem to be less of a pain in the ass.
I also have some items I can sell on http://www.etsy.com/ that do pretty good.

$70 fees..depends on the profit. You know in the REAL world if you had store you would be out $10k+ every month before you start. If you make $50+ profit it's no problem.

The only decent alternatives to eBay that I know of are Amazon and iOffer.com. Amazon is annoying because you can't sell too quickly if you are a new user or you get suspended. iOffer is known for replicas of all kinds.
