I am looking for an alternative to Ebay?

I was a seller on ebay and no longer agree with the way they do business. There is so much scandel going on there it’s not even funny, people internationally can ultimately get there stuff free if they are smart enough to figure out how (I won’t tell), anyway, any answers on a better way to auction???

You need to read the book Selling Beyond eBay:
Foolproof Ways to Reach More Customers and Make Big Money on Rival Online Marketplaces” http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0814473490/powerhomebizguid by Greg Holden as it explores alternatives to eBay. This is just what you need.

Some alternatives include

1. Niche auction sites – these are specialty sites that appeal to a niche audience of collectors and enthusiasts
