Hi,

I appreciate that your site is pretty new which is why I can never understand
why people come on with phrases like "finally a good eBay alternative"
or a "new eBay alternative".

It is not an eBay alternative as it doesn't begin to compare with eBay
which has millions of lots, loads of traffic and a phenominal amount of
sales.

I apologise if the above sounds harsh but I see this month in month out
and have done for years. Usually the sites last no longer than a year (if that) and do wish that people would stop comparing themselves to
eBay.

Of course everyone has to start somewhere but lets be realistic or
straight away you have lost the visitor.

As an example I visited your site and you are asking the seller to
add a lot of private details - but after a search on your site I couldn't
find yours.

Then I looked at the number of lots and thought well at least that looks
promising - but then it seems that it's mainly one seller who's only
feedback is terrible to a newcomer looking at your site for the first time.

Sorry but for me it's not an eBay alternative.

HTH

Cheers

Steve

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your input. Let me make a few points ...

Should I remove that seller you speak of because of one bad comment ... not everyone is happy and I don't see why that would discourage any buyers and sellers from signing up, many people have both good and bad reps on other site and still make sales ... its up to them to keep their reputation in good standing if they choose not to they are only hurting themselves, and I refuse to edit any comments as I have been asked in the past.

As for contacting me at this time you can only use the contact us form, this will change soon.
