2010 AuctionBytes Seller's Choice Marketplace Ratings
In January 2010, over 1,400 online sellers rated 15 ecommerce marketplaces on
profitability, customer service, communication and ease-of-use, and provided comments
explaining their ratings and indicated how likely they were to recommend the marketplace
as a selling venue to a friend or colleague. You can read an introduction and summary of
the findings here
, and individual ratings are presented below.
Please keep in mind that online sellers looking to diversify should not select a
marketplace based purely on the highest ratings, since each marketplace is unique. A
marketplace may be particularly strong in one area - stamps and coins, for example - and
sellers should take this into account when evaluating each marketplace.
