WOW! I've been away from AW for a long time and come back to this... FEES!
I am interested in what other auction sellers think about pay services.
In my opinion, the ONLY service I would PAY for is a service that INCREASED SALES. Not little "helpers", not little "hosters".
All these "Auction Service" companies claim that they are worth paying because they save you "20 hours a week" in labor, blah, blah, and that means a bigger "bottom line" for you, blah, blah, etc. BULL.
Anyone with an ounce of organizational skill can handle the "business end" of online auctions. Heck, IT'S DIGITAL!
I sell over 1000 items a month on eBay, and I do not spend more than 10 hours a week in the areas that these companies think they can help. What takes up my time? PACKING & SHIPPING!
I would GLADLY pay a company that could do what NO OTHER Auction Service Company can...
INCREASE MY BIDS!!! INCREASE MY SALES!!!
INCREASE MY EXPOSURE!!! GET ME SEEN BY MORE QUALIFIED BIDDERS!!! Did I mention....
INCREASE MY SALES!!!
So, what "service" would you be willing to PAY for?
