How to Sell at Online Auctions without Ebay Fees.

This article will show you how to use other auction sites that are growing in popularity and which do not charge listing fees.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Time
• Free auction site account
• Paypal or Paymate

1. 
    
   UBids site

   There are several other sites out there that don't charge listing fees and are getting to be as well known as ebay.
   You can get started with:
   www.ebid.net
   www.oztion.com
   www.ubid.com

2. 
    
   Pheebay

   You can browse for many other auction and sales sites by using:
   www.pheebay.com

3. 
    
   OZtion

   After you've made your choice open up an account with that site. All the sites I listed in step 1 accept Paypal. These sites also take many other payments such as escrow, c.o.d, personal check, etc.

4. Always be weary - if you've found out about a new site chances are there are already scam artists who have set up traps there. It is safer to use an online payment form such as Paypal or PayMate. In the case of PayMate you are insured up to $3000 - but this is only available for those in Australia. Paypal also has fraud protection in place but I'm less versed in it.

Tips & Warnings

• Stop paying fees to ebay to sell your products!
• Use google or pheebay to search for new auction sites.
• Be a little more patient and be proactive about making your listings known across the web.
• Be weary of scam artists.
• Protect your identity always!
