Small Business Computing readers named Bonanzle.com the top eBay Alternative of 2008. The Small Business Computing Excellence in Technology Awards asked readers to pick the best small-business tech tools in 20 categories over a 6- week period from November through the beginning of January. Small Business Computing wrote of the winners in the top eBay alternative category:

The runaway winner in the eBay Alternative category is Bonanzle. This startup combines an easy listing process with cutting-edge features such as on-the-fly image cropping and live chat and an avid seller community. The founders are scaling up to meet increasing traffic, and we can only hope it continues to thrive.

In second place is eCrater.com, a free Web store builder and marketplace that includes free Web site hosting, a free sub-domain and automated posting to Google Product Search. It's notable for its simple listing process, affordability, uncluttered interface and a vibrant seller community.

Other Award categories included Best Storefront/Shopping Cart, Best Free E-Commerce Tool, Best Site Merchandising Tool, and best Online Marketing Tool.

Bonanzle CEO Bill Harding said, "This award validates our commitment to providing users with a marketplace that goes beyond the buzzwords often used to describe it: more social, simpler, and more fun. We worked for almost two years to build Bonanzle before we launched it. The payoff has been an experience so simple yet rich that it has turned many of our users into Bonanzle promoters. These users have helped to drive our traffic up more than 50% every month since we launched - their efforts are really starting to add up, even as we're still almost completely unknown to the national media."
