Any legit auction sites other than EBAY?

PoundFoolish · Nov 30, 2020

Curious if there are any legit auction sites outside of EBAY you use? I am not interested in the ones where you buy credits or whatever it is like DealDash. A true auction site like Ebay.

Ebay is fine, it's just I want to see if I can get what I am looking for cheaper. (I am not cheap, but when it comes to shopping I am usually very frugal and look to never pay market price if I can avoid it)

I am looking at the NFL Riddell Mini Helmets (not the pocket ones, the bigger 5 3/8 ones) if anyone knows where to get these cheap. (new or used as long as in good condition)

TIA

My buddy who has scores of thousands of eBay transactions is totally disgusted with them.

1) their fees increased

2) they're holding his money for at least three weeks now looking for proof his D/B/A is really a business account. In an email, they said "the IRS requires every legitimate business to have an EIN", which is categorically incorrect. He’s been in business for 35 years with Ebay, and now they're questioning his business checking account He’s used with them for all 35 years

Bizarre

Ebay uses your personal checking acct now, or whatever you set up with them, cause they cut out pey-pal, so fees are actually less now, i sell on ebay weekly

when you sale something the money you make goes directly into your acct, and if you buy something it gets deducted, pey-pal was taking a cut of every transaction but not anymore

yeah not sure what he is talking about

ebay has eliminated pey-pal, its been a process and is still ongoing, my friend had to change 3-4 months ago, they just contacted me last week so i switched over

pey-pal takes a percentage, so ebay eliminated them out of the process which saves seller a bit

if you use ebay to sell you should know this, check your messages, they've been asking members to switch over all year

Here's from an article:

[FONT=&quot]E-commerce behemoth eBay is officially abandoning online payments system ****** after 15 years, opting for a new service that’s expected to deliver benefits to sellers.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]eBay has announced that it will stop working with ****** in 2020 and start transitioning to Adyen, an Amsterdam-based payments company, later this year.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Adyen’s customers include tech industry giants Uber, Netflix, and Spotify.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Adyen primarily provides back-end payments services, like credit card processing, and won’t have a visible presence at the eBay checkout, unlike the “pay with ******” button.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]eBay users will continue to have the option of using ****** until 2023, but it will effectively be relegated to “second-class status”.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]****** has been eBay’s main payments provider since 2003. In the same year, eBay acquired ****** in a deal valued at $1.5 billion.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]eBay and ****** parted ways in 2015 and become separate public companies, but maintained close business ties.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The announcement that eBay is officially breaking away from ****** marks the end of one of the tech industry’s “most storied partnerships”.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Sellers that rely on ****** to conduct business on eBay don’t have to worry about being left behind.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]****** will remain as a payment option on eBay until July 2023, allowing plenty of time for sellers to transition to the new system.[/FONT]

You can always try shopgoodwill.com. They are set up similar to ebay and their stores have listings there nationwide. You may occasionally find some gems there. Before the pandemic hit I was making a good side lick buying DLP projectors there for $20 or $30 and marking them up to $200 or more and selling them online.

E-bay wasn't around 35 years ago. Think you meant to say 25.

Got to be super careful but believe it or not..Goodwill auctions has good stuff sometimes...I got some great stereo equipment Marantz for about 1/2 price..Lots of shit and the site has horrible reviews but I've scored more than once...I bought two things this week.. both great.
If you mess around at all they'll kick you off..so if you buy it's yours..No questions.
Decent stuff never hits the floor at Goodwill... it goes here.

The majority of ebay users have already switched cause it was required to do so, same for me, here's what i was sent and this was 3-4 months after my buddy told me about it, so it took a bit to get to me, not sure how they're doing it in what order but I've switched, already saved me around 50% on my fees, I have no complaints:

[h=2]All sellers receiving this email are required to update their account details by 12/31[/h]
[FONT=&quot]Fees and expenses will be deducted before you get paid and the remainder of your eBay earnings will go directly to your bank account, not your ****** account. Your eBay selling fees will be automatically deducted from your earnings at the time of sale. No more ****** payment processing fees.[/FONT]
