If you haven't looked at edeal yet, I would like to invite you. It is still fairly small, but in this competitive market, going strong. They have many nice options and a great chat discussion board where everyone tries to help. There are no listing fees and to relist just takes a click - so easy! It needs support so would you just stop in and see if it is the place for you? The only real drawback is the lack of advertising. We are trying to let the administration know that it would help to get the word out. They don't seem to want to spend money in that direction at this time. Come join us!!

Gettting buyers to edeal.com has been hard. I agree, most things sit for awhile before getting bids, even so, I really like the site. Most of us who have been listing are trying to hold on and spread the word. They don't do any advertising and it shows. They have a nice group on the chat site. In the discussion area, not enough people to use live chat. Will be looking for you and very glad you are already using it. Lets bring more with us and have a party.

I just listed some items on edeal. I was listing on Yahoo until they announced the fees- my last Yahoo auction ends tomorrow and I won't list there again.
One question about edeal: I set up my auction site on edeal, listed some items, they show in the main listings but not on "my" auction site. What's the deal with this?

Pegasus, If you want items to show on both edeal and your own page, you must list the items on the personal page AND activate the site with a credit card.
If this doesn't help, on the edeal site, click on chat and leave your question on the discussion board. Someone more familiar with how it works may be able to help you. They are a real helpful group there.

I did activate my account with a credit card. I opened a business to consumer account and needed a credit card to open it.

Edeal's software is the best I have seen. You can transfer closed auctions from Ebay and relist 60 auctions at a time with a single click. There are no listing fees--only FVF. The problem is that nothing sells. If I get one bid (out of 200 - 300 listings) per month, I am surprised. These same items consistently sell on Ebay and Yahoo (which I am leaving because of low traffic coupled with the newly imposed listing fees.)
