Only head about E*id the other day.... I have not used it or know of anyone who has, so I cant really say how it works.
How long are the items on for?

You pay a one off fee of 50 quid that means you dont have to pay a listing fee ever again but do pay a 2% fee when your item sells.

Problem being there are about 4 users lol

At least they are upfront about robbing you I suppose.
eBay on the other hand take various amounts when you sell something - and that's before PayPal have got their filthy hands on it!

Ah well, at least you tried. If you have not had any bids then just pull them both now!
Wait until threre are more users.
Maybe just sell some smaller items until the site gets bigger so at least you can be seen as a good seller, might as well do something with the money.

some one buy my skyline then lol! to be fair my face dropped when i typed skyline on the search panel and only mine came up. i cant see it getting massive as think ebay are catching on to the fact people are getting really annoyed with fees and the fact its so easy for people to bid and not pay
