Many like I will move to another site that meets my wants and needs. There is no place for arrogance if you want to business on the web. Luckily E-Bay is not the only site on the web.

I joined both Trading Post and Oztion but sales are very slow on both of those sites. I am now selling on Smart Bid Auctions - www.smartbid.com.au and doing well - it is easier to use than all the other sites, works quick, costs nothing to list at the moment and also has no final value fees, so it really is free right now. It was good to be with ebay up until 2007 but it has now lost many buyers and sellers who like me could not work with the new ebay. Ebay are concerned, they are doing focus groups and forums all over the country to get answers, but once they have lost the market share, they have lost it forever to the new sites. So why not give Smart Bid Auctions a try like I did.
