How good are GM Online Auction prices? I went to a GM dealer the other day and he offered me the chance to check out the GM Online Auction. He said the prices are the best you are going to get but that could just be the salesman in him talking. The point of the auctions is GM has a 3rd party check out the car and post everything about the car. Once you agree to buy it, it's yours even though you havn't even seen it in real life. That's why the prices are supposed to be so good. michelle m The dealer told me it's the listed cost + $1,400 for fee's (and i'm guessing some profit for them). They said if there is more than $400 in damage that was not described, then you can refuse the car.
Anybody know any online auction websites that are like ebay? I'm tired of relying on only one website. There must be other online auction websites that are similar to ebay and have a large enough number of users. Suggestions? Thanks for your answers, but none of these suggestions come close to what ebay is. Trying to search for an item on Craigslist is ridiculous because you must do it by city. It's only viable if you want to buy local.

How long would you wait to get payment from an online auction? I sold some collectables on EBay this past Thursday. I posted in the listing that payment should be sent within 3 days of the close of the auction. No payment via Paypal, and no response from my message/invoice that I sent to two of the buyers. (I sold 7 items). How long would you wait to see if you receive payment either via Paypal, or by mail, before you start questioning the buyers?
What are other online auction sites that work like eBay where you can sell used items and clothes?? What are other online auction sites that work like eBay where you can sell used items and clothes? eBay's Fee system is RIDICULOUS to me,.. they always screw up my bank account one way or another. I'm wondering if anyone has bought and sold at any of the other online auction sites, and had a good/bad experience? I know of Yahoo Auctions, but they are going offline soon, (or might have already). So, that one does me no good. Let me know your ideas. Thanks! :)

My boyfriend needs a heavily-trafficked, online, auction website for selling, other than eBay (fees are getting higher), iOffer(he had no success with this one), uBid (not well known), Yahoo Auctions (he had no bids), and Amazon Auctions (too complicated to be seller-friendly)?

Should i then send the products first before I can collect the $$? So the money is Guarantee that I am able to get it, after I sent out the item?

What does "AS-IS" in an online auction actually mean? I see auctions where they say the item is working, and then also say it's "as-is"? Where is this term officially defined? Thanks Jim W, so it sounds like "as is" means absolutely nothing in an online auction because the buyer has no way to inspect, right?

I Need Help Starting A Major Online Auction Website? I have had plans for the past 6 years to start a major online auction website (as in as major as eBay). Does anyone have a list of things that are required to run such a big website (e.g. security, promotions, headquarters, legal stuff, software, hardware, computer stuff, etc.)? I have looked up stuff and bought a whole bunch of stuff and it did not help. My online auction website will have more catagories, choices, things, and other better stuff than eBay (I have yet to come up with a name for my online auction website as all 45 names that I have come up with have been taken). Also, the price that you would have to pay on my site would be only 35 cents (compared to eBay's 35 cents to place your item on eBay and the 15 cents for additional pictures and more money for more features which is rediculous for people to pay). Could someone please help me and give me ideas and things that I need to even begin and continue to run such a huge online auction website possibly bigger than eBay????

Online auction sites like eBay but without listing fees? Does anyone here know of a good online auction site like eBay that doesn't have a listing fee? I'm looking to sell many different items but can't take the risk of paying to list this amount without having them sell. If they only charged you if the item sold, eBay would be so much better. Does anybody here know of a site that doesn't charge a listing fee, or only charges if your item sells? Thanks, - Jaden
when will eBay have a rival online auction company? There are many ways for ebay to be better, but they are pretty resistant to change...doesnt that spell "competitor" sometime in the near future? If someone like Donald Trump or Mark Cuban got behind the idea of a new online auction site, and threw an insane amount of money into advertising, wouldnt people sign up..? One of the biggest ways ebay could make more money for themselves and the seller, is to extend an auction 5-10 minutes if there is a bid made on the auction with less than 10 minutes to go. Everyone has been outbid at the last second on an auction before. It happens to me on almost everything I ever bid on anything...but if the auction extended 5-10 minutes when someone bids in the last 10 minutes, it would give you time to login and make a higher bid..and then it would allow the other bidder time to make a higher bid. Higher bids equal more money to the seller and ebay..but they refuse to do that. I'm not asking for addresses of smaller auction sites..the question is when will ebay have a rival company steal their thunder? extending the auction..why not extend the auction?..if you have ever been to a real auction, you will know that an auction doesnt close at a certain time..it closes when people stop bidding. The seller could have the choice to let the auction be extended or just close at a certain time.
Does the owner of a public online auction website has the right to co-operate with the local police? I'm not the owner of any online auction website. My college project require me to design the sample interface of an public online auction website for every sellers and buyers. The website is just a school project, and will not be hosted on any web server. I am currently designing the 'Terms & Conditions' web page. In the 'terms and conditions' web page, I am going to include the restrictions for the seller. Situations: - Seller is selling illegal products (drugs, pirated softwares, pirated DVD / VCD / audio CD, etc) - Seller try to cheat the buyer's money. If the above situations occurred, does the owner of the online auction website has the right to report the local police? Or, if the owner does not report to the local police, but the local police request the seller's information, does he or she (website owner) has the right to give the seller's information (IP Address, Identification number, address, etc) to the local police?
Are There Different Kinds of Online Auction Sites? Every knows www.eBay.com which is a 'normal' auction site. I recent found www.GlobalBidders.com and love their concept. It's a 'reverse auction' system where you can win auctions for a fraction of their retail price. So far I love using their site, but I'm curious, are there other kinds of auctions online?

Do you use online auction sites or 'storefront portal' sites to buy or sell online? I am researching auction and 'storefront portal' sites which allow individuals to sell online. I know the bigger ones, of course, like eBay, half.com, Amazon and Craigslist but I would like to know of others that people may use. It would be very useful to me if you could post the URL of the home page. What are your experiences in general of any that you have used (as a seller or as a buyer)? Do you find the website user-friendly? Do you find payment easy and secure? Were you happy with the transactions? All comments gratefully received - but please don't reply if you have nothing useful to say! Peacefulbirder (Chris): Thank you. Good comments, useful links! Yes, stenobrachius, I forgot to mention Freecycle and Cheapcycle. Those are certainly good institutions for disposing of things locally.

I Need Major Help For Starting An Online Auction Website? First tell me this: Was Pierre Omidyar (the person that started eBay) rich when he started eBay? I think he had to have been rich to even start eBay because it requires lots of money to begin a site of that magnitude and it requires lots of legal and computer stuff. My friends and family say I don't have the money to start a website of that size. It really makes me mad to not even have the money to start a huge site like eBay. Second tell me this: Could the buisinesses and sofware I need to start my online auction website be given to me for free at first, but then when I start making lots of money off my site could I pay the buisinesses and stuff back with the money I made off my site? Would some businesses allow that? Because I seriously don't have the money to start a site like eBay and I REALLY WANT TO. Could someone please come up with a solution to start and run a major online auction site like eBay without having to pay first and then I can pay the people back like a week later? I would make alot of money so fast (I mean alot of money more than enough to pay them back for sure) and then I would pay the businesses back. So I dont see a problem with me paying a week later when I auctually have the money to pay them and then I could pay them more than what they need. Any advice?

Online Auction Stores? Does anybody know apart from ebay and oztion, are there any other online auctions stores in Australia?
Have you ever used online auction??? I just recently found http://www.onlineauction.com and thought it sounded great and briefly looking through it I saw that had several things listed. I was looking for more online auctions because for me I felt like ebay was just charging too much and I wasnt making anything from the sales after seller fees etc. From that aspect onlineauction is great. But after listing some things there and not really even getting too many views I went back through and looked again and it seems like none of the auctions really even have bids on them. What is up? Do not that many people know about it??? Do auctions get more bids the last day and I am just not seeing that? Have you had any experiences with http://www.onlineauction.com and should I have stuck with ebay or should I keep trying here???
i bid on a car in a auction online@OLX.com and won, but seller wont contact me.? i bid on a car in a auction online@OLX.com, the seller didnt set a reserve price for the car, thats probably worth about 20 grand, and when the auction was over i was sent an email from OLX.com saying congrats!!! i was the high bidder and was given the sellers email address to contact him for payment options. i won the auction on the the 24th of june i have sent two emails to the seller with no response. i have looked over the auction rules over and over to see if some how i missed something or if im wrong but i cant find anything. i even contacted the site for info and they sent me an email saying to try to contact the seller again but that was it. maybe im wrong and i didnt win, but maybe because of the seller not setting a reserve price i did. either way i need to know so anybody who would know of anything to help, would help alot. thankx
Online auction sites, other then Ebay? Does anyone know of any other online acution sites other then Ebay? I had an account with them and was running a small business but because I had a buyer who did not receive the item she purchased in the mail, she harrassed me and reported me to Ebay, although I spoke with her several times on refunding her money and she refused, and Ebay has now indefinetly suspended my account. I have not had a good experience with Ebay and I know there has to be some other site out there like them. Any suggestions?
I am looking for a good online auction site, can someone please advice? Now that Yahoo auctions is closing, I find myself in the quandary of finding a good online auction site. Somewhere that is not Ebay or Etsy.com either, while I know these two are good online auction sites, I am looking for another place perhaps that does have actual succesful transaction for sellers. I have been surfing the web, and the only so far that I think is good is amazon.com auctions, does anyone know if amazon is any good with auctions? I have also found ioffer, but it does not seem as if they have many succesful transactions. I make homemade products, so it would be a place that has this kind of category. I would greatly appreciate any input on this, thank you much :)
