I have been busy adding sites to the auction site count this week. http://www.powersellersunite.com/auctionsitewatch.php

One of the requirements to be added to the auction site count was to maintain a consistent listing of over 10,000 auctions.

I would like to congratulate the following sites that were added
CQout
ubidright
wensy
and returning back to the auction site welcome back
ioffer

I also have some BIG news to announce this weekend regarding counts on a well known site on here. Please speculate away. Stay tuned. :D

The new links added need to be corrected as there are 2 sets of http://www. in the URL's.

I better tell Plundy's friends to keep those Valentine's coming.

Great stuff psunite

Is it possible to include all listings for eBid's 14 sites and not just the uk site ? as eBid USA has more listings than eBid UK ?

Thanks

I am guessing Ebay count to be revised, a few things that I always want to be seen done:
1)Count only those listed in USD, take out Canadian and Australian listings?

2)A count for other Ebay Sites?

OK - I'll bite. Could it be that OLA will be returning to the site counts? :)

Hi PSUnite,
would it be possible to add some information to the count because to be honest, are we even comparing like with like?

Is the eBay count ebay US only or is it total eBay listings for all sites?
What about goods available to more than one country how are they counted?

At the moment you show eBid UK, but presently US site has a higher listing count.

Currently Brits looking at the chart see sites they cannot join, is the same true for those from the US & Canada?

I'm not asking that you do more than one chart but just that you clarify things a little.

I had no idea that iOffer is doing so well in terms of listings. I have about 100 listings, but sales are rare. I keep my sewing patterns there and that is what's selling---only a sale here and there.

iOffer is glitch-city, unless they have upgraded recently. I had a sale (about once every two months) today.

eCrater has been coming up for a long time. I have 184 listings there with only a sale when I'm just about to close the store. Actually, same for iOffer. I'm not listing more items on either.

BTW each time with one exception I have searched for an item to buy, I couldn't find even one on either site----but I always found a good selection on eBay. :?

I don't trust eCrater search. I also would like the format to be more fun for shoppers. It's pretty bland, although as a seller I love the ease of listing.

My eBay store has done quite well from the time I re-opened in Sept, although I only have 50-something listings. I'm selling items that sat for more than a year on iOffer and eCrater. And I'm selling well on Amazon and Half. Of course, on all these places I'm being fee-ed to death. :cry:

Warmest Regards, :type:

Well,well well.... Suddenly we have an IOffer here, twice the size of ecrater, roughly. Isn't that interesting! In terms of "critical mass" and just based on the numbers of the auction count page, I would say that Ioffer is best qualified to get the 20-50 listings per seller bonus.
It also makes me wonder... Are there any other decent sized venues out there that I never heard of?

In any case, for my business I will definately spend the time researching IOffer now. Thanks PSU! This is helping a lot! :D

I had a lot of items on ioffer for a long time and had one sale. My store is still there but I haven't listed for a long time. I have had quite a lot of sales on eCrater and have four stores. I really like that site. I have a couple of stores on Buyitsellit. I had a few sales in December but nothing since.

I finally got to CQout. It is a British site. The link is wrong here. It is http://http://cqout which of course gets your no where.
