Ever since the creation of eBay it has been the most popular auction site on the planet, however since recent price hikes, policy updates and constant changes, sellers are beginning to look for alternative selling venues. We have compiled this list of most current alternative auction sites similar to eBay, although none will have the same amount of buyers and sellers as eBay enjoys. Unless we, buyers and sellers, try other venues, eBay will always be a virtual monopoly and they will be able to charge whatever they wish, knowing we have little in the way of alternative options. |

|
Tazbar
- The main objective is to offer a venue that brings buyers and
sellers together that offers value for money services and a strong
community spirit. No standard auction listing fees & minimal final
price fees when you sell you item because Tazbar is committed to
keeping selling costs realistic and hence lowering prices for
buyers. |
CQout
- is an International online market place and auction community,
where we'll help to "Seek You Out" a real bargain ! The service was launched in Dec 1999 and has since gained the reputation of the "Most Trusted Online Auction Site". CQout also claims to be the "2nd biggest auction site" |

Amazon UK &
Amazon USA -

front of millions of customers-- your items are displayed right
alongside those carried by Amazon.com! There are no fees unless you
sell. |
|
Satisfaction of our bidders is of paramount importance. We at Bidz, guarantee our listings as described by our own team of gemologists. |
121

or post an add for something you are looking for - you can Make It
Happen right here on 121Bid ! We started 121Bid for those looking for a new venue to sell their merchandise & services and for buyers to have more options. |
QXL
UK & QXL USA-
Are one of the longest standing auction sites (after ebay of
course!), share prices have recently soared since the company went
private in a buyout deal of over £12m! ($22m), i'm hoping to see a
change for the better in the near future. |
InternetBid
- is a free internet auction site aimed at people who want the ease
of selling on-line, without the large fees charged by other on-line
auction sites. There's currently only 1 active listing on the whole
site. |
SpecialistAuctions
- The whole concept of Vujoo & therefore SpecialistAuctions, is
based around communities. The concept revolves around leveraging support within these communities and creating a safe & cost effective environment where communities can interact. |
Preloved
- is an online classified advertising website, covering the whole of
the UK & Ireland. It was founded in 1998 and has many thousands of
second hand items for sale in over 500 categories. What makes
Preloved unique is the opportunity it provides for enthusiasts and
collectors to gather together as a community. |

AVABID
- Seem to be going steady with 1000's of listings and a decent user
base, however it's off-putting when the landing page is asking for a
fee to transfer feedback from ebay! It could be a haven for
scammers! |
Auctionair
- We think our system is like reintroducing the Souk as a 21st
century selling system. When you barter in a Souk, the price you end
up paying is the one you are happy with. It is not the same as the
price the next person pays. Our system is designed to be a similar,
personal one-to-one system, rather than using the one-to-many
structure of the conventional retail price. |
iBootsale
- is a virtual car boot sale, but rather than getting up very early
on a Sunday morning and getting wet & cold thanks to the British
weather, you can go booting online 24/7 from the comfort of your own
sofa. |
BIDEASYNOW
- Again a standard workround of the basic auction site template, but
it does have a healthy amount of visitors, the customer service is
also second to none. |
AUCTIONS
UNITED - This site claims to be one of the "worlds safest
auction site", however the first 3 auctions I found were all for
counterfeit dvds, I personally think allowing counterfeit items to
be sold is a step closer to failure! |
GBAUCTIONS
- have adopted various policies aimed to make the use of this site
more Buyer Friendly. We have limited the ownership of onsite stores
to a maximum of 4 per category and the restriction of duplicate
listings of items by sellers. We also operate a stringent user
verification process |
SWAPZ
- is the place to swap anything in the United Kingdom and worldwide. At this convenient swap shop you can search for almost anything you need, and, when you come here, you can count on having a successful swap meet - whatever it is you are trying to swap! |
|
|
WEBIDZ
- "In order to sell on the WeBidz site, users must first become
verified. There is a one time fee of $5.00", in my experience this
is never a great start! |
LGGAUCTIONS
- Aim is to cater for the new breed of Auction user.LGGAUCTIONS is full featured with speed and security in mind we push to make your online auction experience as enjoyable and safe as possible. |
Groupgain
- What makes GroupGain so unique is that, unlike traditional
e-commerce/auctions sites, Buyers collaborate in order to reduce a
product’s price instead of bidding against anonymous shoppers while
the price only increases. |
Totalbids
- is the UK’s completely FREE online auction site where you can sign
up, buy, sell and even open a shop for free. We don’t charge any
fees for registration, buying, listing or selling. |
Free Store Front Setup! And free Gallery Auctions. An up and coming completely free auction site that's soon to be a hit. |
|
We support and raise funds for medical aids and supplies for the severely disabled. |
Iwac
- It’s been a years learning experience with IWAC.biz, we have seen
where the market is now and can make a clear judgment of where the
market needs to go after our first year online. With years of
additional experience of online auction selling and buying IWAC has
taken a long look at what the future beholds for online shopping. |
