No, sorry.
Remember "The Magnificent Seven" with Steve McQueen ? His character tells the story of the guy who tells his friend he is going to go to the poker game. His friend says 'the game is crooked.' He replies, 'I know, but it's the only game in town.' :shrug:
That's pretty simple: https://www.google.com/search?q=online+auctions
And before I get accused of being a smart ass, just think about it for a second - in the internet world dominated by a couple of search engines why would you look for something that is not highly visible and highly rated by those?
I sell stuff on ebay from time to time. One time, years ago, a big time pipe shop owner in CA, Hugh Getzenberg, sent 3 Dunhill ODA tobacco pipes to me on approval. I had bought off him through ebay in the past and he had reached out with those pipes off of the bay. Anyway, for one reason or another I didn't want any of the three.
I spoke with him on the phone and offered to pay the return shipping. He thanked me but said, "no, that is the cost of doing business." I never forgot that and the philosophy impressed me enough to adopt it. So when I do auctions or sell in the classifieds I look at paypal and ebay fees, postage and insurance, as the cost of doing business. I've got my rice bowl to fill and they've got theirs.
Pixel , your just going to have to raise your rates to compensate. Call it the 10% e-bay compensation gouge and add it to shipping fee as handling. Us consumers should b**ch about it to e-bay for ya. If I thought it would do any good I would be all over it for you. Send me a petition I'll sign it.
Now I know that would never , ever, happen here,,,never ever. Attachment 116924
...........Gugi, sorry I just couldn't pass it up..... :angel:
Try
Etsy - Your place to buy and sell all things handmade, vintage, and supplies
Online craft fair style web site. I've bought from vendors there. It's not an auction site but you can market stuff there and get picked up by the search engines. Etsy makes money by charging a listing fee of 20 cents for each item and getting 3.5% of every sale.
Let us know what you think
wow i should have ben bidding on police auctions.
I agree with selling the items here or on etsy. Neither are auctions, but maybe the simple straight-forwardness will grow on you.
What about a subsection in the razor section that is specifically for non-restored razors?
