Letter From Reader

Dear AuctionBytes:

Your article on Epier was great! I think every seller needs alternatives to Ebay. As you can see I link Epier in each of my Emails and also on my website. Having just uploaded a few auctions and doing so every day, I already have 4 items with bids on them. These sales are free money because the price of listing is zero. I hope you will do more articles of this kind on other auction houses in the future.

I visited Goldsauction.com yesterday. These people seem to have an identity crises. Their instructions and fee schedule is much like Ebay's but when asked, support told me that there are no up front listing fees. In exchanging a few messages with some of the sellers there, I got the distinct impression that fees will be charged soon. Looking at the number of auctions sellers have and the number of corresponding bids, was not encouraging. I certainly would not pay these people any listing fees.

Thanks again for that great article,
