Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- internet connection
- Something to sell, trade or barter with.
- Some time to set up your autions

Step 1
Many people use eBay as their main source of auctions and selling. I use them, it is a great way to make money. But they do charge numerous fees and only allow you to use pay pal as a check out service. They are link together and pay pal has it's own fees. Not a bad way to do business, but I personally like to keep as much of my earned money as possible. Well I have found some very useful sites that cost nothing to use or charge very little to use. Making money couldn't be easier than that.

Step 2
First place I recommend is caretotrade.com. This place is awesome, you can trade with others for something you may want, you can buy directly, you can sell directly, you can barter for items and even trade real estate with others. You can use escrow type paying , but there will be some fees attached to that service. But for the most part, you can do all your transactions at no cost to you. They do have an area for "Packages" that can help you advertise in different ways, these some fees attached. As far as the money you make goes, you can withdraw it any way you choose, that is very cool. This site is worth checking out and telling everyone you know about it so it grows in popularity and you are able to make money.

Step 3
The next place to look at is HiBidder.com. This is a lot like the eBay setting, all about auctions and store fronts. It costs $1.80 to verify you and now your selling. It has some cool features on it, community (blog), store fronts for no cost (like eBay $49.95 monthly), very small end of auction fees (the most is $1.50 for a $10,000.00 and up transaction) and a $0.03 home page fee. This place is very cool. A lot more money ends up in your pocket. They use the Google Checkout which is becoming more popular every day and the have some cool link sites on their home page to help with finding items easier and helping to advertise your auctions outside the site. Making definitely couldn't be easier. Check this site out and definitely tell everyone you know about it.

Step 4
The next one to look at is called ibidfree.com. This is a sight developed by eBay haters. They are sick of paying all their money to eBay and pay pal. So they went and put together their own site. They allow for free auctions and free classifieds and they do allow bartering. And they have a forum (blog) community. There are end of the auction fees, the highest fee is $100.00 for a sale of 100,000.00 to 100,000,000.00. Pretty cheap if you ask me. This site is definitely worth checking out. Make money, make money, make money. That is the game. So tell everyone you know about this site as well. The site has a place to email you friends from to tell them about it. As far as getting paid for items, it seems to be any way you choose. Very cool

on 9/17/2009 I started looking around at alternatives auction sites as well. I was over the process when it came to paying listing fees and commission fees. Online auction was exactly what I was looking for. I became a founding member and all I had to do was pay 8 dollars a month! I've been pretty happy ever since, I even created an e-page for free and received $300 dollars worth of auction enhancements to advertise my stuff. It was pretty simple.
