I had just gone to DutchBid.com, and it seems like the company (or site) is having some major problems. When I went to the site, a pop-up asked me for my user name, password, and domain. Strange...
It seems that a few of the smaller auction sites are having a lot of difficulty surviving. Both DutchBid.com & SnapRat.com are having site problems, and the once totally free ePier.com is now charging fees. It looks like the dot COM domino is continuing its destruction through small and bankrupt companies..
This is just my opinion; you can go to the sites themselves and experience what I am talking about.

If I remember right I read here a while back that DutchBid is undergoing some renovations to their site.
I haven't a clue about SnapRat--haven't been there in a while, but I'm kind of glad to see ePier start charging for their additional auction features such as bold, featured, etc. As it is practically every seller was using one of them in nearly all their auctions. An auction doesn't really stand out when all are featured or highlighted or whatever. Considering they don't do any on-site advertising they need to generate revenues somehow. Shoot, I wouldn't even mind paying a Final Value Fee there.
