      This is a link to an aggregated search engine for displaced ebay sellers. Blujay and Ecrater stores have already been included as well as some independent websites. Please email me your link if you'd like to be included. There's also an option to place the search on your website.

      Great article. Despite ebay, we'll work together and find a way.       Apr 07 06:08 PM

      Well it sounds to me like the last poster has nothing to do but complain about people complaining - probably another ebay employee.

      I'm one of the founding sellers who is leaving and I'm not complaining- just selling a lot on other sites.       Mar 20 08:39 PM
    • eBay: A Countercyclical Opportunity [view article]
      More likely that eBay's competitors will benefit from a downturn in the economy. For instance, we've found Ecrater to be a great alternative selling platorm, with Zero fees, ease of use and a really nice store setup - much better than ebay stores. The results show up in Internet searches pretty quickly and the merchant community on Ecrater displays more of a team effort in advertising the entire site as a great place to shop.

      Ebay, on the other hand, seems to be seeing a refugee-like departure of their core sellers in categories like antiques, hand-made items, collectibles, sports cards, etc. This is likely to increase once sellers start seeing the increased final value fees in black and white on their ebay invoices while facing the threat of having their money tied up in Paypal for 21 days.

      Ebay alternatives have been marketing a lot to sellers, but there is a shift - and now they're marketing to shoppers. It may not be long before shoppers learn that they'll have to look off-ebay for the hard to find items they long for.       Mar 13 10:46 AM
    • eBay: A Countercyclical Opportunity [view article]
      I think it's a heck of a lot more likely that ebay's competitors will profit by a downturn in the economy.

      Shopping sites like Ecrater have drawn my business and that of many others. There are no listing or final value fees. They have secure shopping carts like Google Checkout, Paypal, and credit card options, checks and money order payments.

      So, in a recession, when people need to save every penny - it would be a wise decision to use sites like this. Once the shoppers become aware of sites like Ecrater they'll also like them better because the prices are generally lower since we merchants are saving money on fees.       Mar 13 10:32 AM
    • Is Donahoe Trying to Destroy eBay? [view article]
      Many ebay sellers are trying to get other sites started. Buyers, support those sites - like Ecrater - and show Ebay how you feel by hitting them where it hurts! Mar 13 10:29 AM
