Auction Alfie has been named as the number one money-saving website by The Sunday Times.
This is such a great accomplishment and I am glad people find this unique comparison site as useful as I do.
There are now so many money-saving sites that you need a comparison site for the websites themselves — and that’s where many are now focusing. Auctionalfie.com, for example, compares listings for a chosen item on seven of the most popular auction sites, while mysupermarket.co.uk scours the web for all the best supermarket deals.
They used Auction Alfie to find the best deal on an Apple Macbook laptop:
Suppose you wanted an Apple Macbook laptop, which usually costs £816. You could fill in one search form at Auctionalfie and see that it is going for £600 on Cqout, compared with £770 on Amazon Marketplace.
Thank you Sunday Times.

The popular auction and classified Australian website, Trading Post, has been added to Auction Alfie’s Australian auction and classified search.
Trading Post is a well designed website allowing sellers to advertise their stuff for sale as an auction listing (free to list) or as a classified listing until it sells.
Trading Post joins the best auction websites such as eBay Australia, OZtion, eBid and Gumtree on Auction Alfie to give buyers the best chance of finding what they are looking for at the cheapest possible price. Search now.

ePier, the online auction website, is now available to search alongside the best auction websites like eBay, eBid and uBid.
ePier only charges closing fees for sellers so no listing fees.

Auction Alfie is pleased to announce the addition of CQout.com to its UK auction search.
CQout (pronounced ‘Seek You Out’) claims to be the UK’s second largest Auction website (after eBay.co.uk presumably) and with over 600,000 auction listings it’s certainly a busy marketplace for sellers and buyers.
Sellers can list items for sale in the standard package on a no-sale, no-fee basis, but can increase exposure by purchasing optional extras.
This is great news for buyers looking for a great deal and who are maybe looking at trying auction websites other than eBay.

The 5 day eBay boycott by sellers has reportedly reduced eBay‘s listings by 3%, from 14.5 million to 14 million.
Whether this dip in listings is directly because of striking sellers and the eBay boycott or whether it is just seasonal is just speculation. But eBay has certainly upset some regular sellers and PowerSellers who have mentioned they are unlikely to return to sell on eBay – turning to alternative auction websites like eBid or uBid or classifieds like Craigslist and Loot to sell stuff on.

In an attempt to tackle the high postage and packing (P&P) fees some eBay sellers are demanding buyers to pay, eBay has added a ‘Total Cost’ sort option so buyers can now search for the cost of both the product and the shipping together.
This is a great step forward. I wonder if eBay would go as far as Amazon has gone and set a postage rate based on actual postage costs which the buyers pay and the seller gets a credit?
