Other great web sites like eBay that I could sell On? - Yes, but there is a catch

Sellers are often asked if there are other sites like that could sell on eBay. The only other that can even compete with eBay is Amazon.

Amazon has some disadvantages, though. While no listing fees, their transaction costs are higher than eBay. Unless they sell books, items that are sold on Amazon have a UPC number. So, that eliminates a lot of things around your house that you can not sell. Also, if you're planning to sell in some categories, such as jewelry, you're going to wait for Amazon to get approved before you can start selling on the site, these are just some of the things I should think.

So, besides amazon, there are other good options? Well, you can always go to their website. However, we strongly recommend you to open a website with your eBay business, but no.

If you open your site alone, you're going to have a really hard time bringing in traffic, especially if you have no experience. But if you open your site with eBay, you can channel the traffic you're getting from eBay and pass it to your website. Think of how many people visit one of your lists every day, or buy something from you. This is a potential customer who may be purchasing from your website on a constant basis.

It would be very difficult to get that kind of targeted traffic alone.

There are of course other options. Some of them even free! But the old adage "you get what you pay for" becomes very clear when you try. You could pay zero dollars on these sites, but this is exactly how much traffic you're getting most of the time: zero .......
