Long time Warrior here (Class of '97). It's been a fun and profitable
thirteen years, thanks to Allen Says and the veterans. I've been
away for a long time, but the posts look familiar.

What other sites, besides Ebay, are the best to sell a physical
product? Sites that are like Ebay? I remember when Ebay was first
started and mentioned in this forum ...

    I have checked out all the popular eBay alternative sites
    and they are just too small at this time.
    Like crystalq mentioned above, Amazon seems to be the only close alternative
    and the traffic is sometimes equal to eBay's.

    Hey, let us know what you find.

      eBay Alternatives, meaning everything outside of eBay, are on the rise. Sellers are feverishly seeking alternatives to eBay.

      Right now, it's all about what I call is multiplatform selling. This meaning:

      eBay
      Amazon (these two being the main players)
      Bonanzle
      eCrater
      eBid

      ...and whatever else you can find. I'm even selling items in China.

      What people like me, and several other sellers who are not very satisfied with eBay at the moment are doing. While selling on all of these platforms, we do as much as we can to point the traffic to our own eCommerce websites, usually by offering discounts on future purchases. eCommerce sites are very cheap and easy to have up and running now, much more so than in 97. I outsource ways to increase traffic to my items. Do I make more money than I would selling on just eBay? Yep.

    Bypass all the fees by selling on Craigslist. Other then that I have used Amazon and Ebay.
