This & That: Online Auction Roundup
1) TradeItOff Website
By Ina Steiner

Reminder: AuctionBytes does not endorse the products and services featured in the "This & That" column, which often features new Web sites. (Anyone can set up a Web site.) Fraud has become widespread in the online auction world, and you should think twice before giving private information or User IDs and passwords to any third party.

4) PaperBackSwap
By Ina Steiner

PaperBackSwap.com has developed a website where members from all over the U.S. can trade books for free. When another member requests one of your books, you mail it to them. You pay the postage, but then another member returns the favor when you request a book and they mail it to you. The books are always free because all club members are willing to trade their books with other members. http://www.paperbackswap.com
