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.

As part of the BBC’s new BBCGreen website, they have created a partnership with eBay to encourage more people to recycle and reuse unwanted possessions by selling them on eBay - instead of sending them to landfill.
The message is great and clear: Make money and save the world at the same time.
BBC Green is a well designed website aiming to open people’s minds to alternative methods of saving energy and tackling climate change.
Will Watt from BBCGreen.com tells us that ”the aim of our site is to think laterally and practically about ways to live greener. The eBay marketplace is a part of UK shopping culture and joining them to promote their already popular used only goods seemed like a smart idea to inspire our readers to think differently.”
Why not start selling your unwanted stuff now.

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?

Tazbar has introduced classified listings for certain products, like cars, which require more interaction between buyer and seller, or where the handover process is longer.
For example, when buying a car the buyer made need to ask further questions about tax, MOT, mileage etc, or offer a part-exchange opportunity, and would also want to test-drive.
This is slightly different than eBay’s Buy-it-now feature as the listing will stay live on the website until the seller has finally exchanged products.
This is an exciting development for Tazbar and with low listing fees is great for sellers to.

Tazbar.com has launched a new brand and website. According to Tazbar the new website is “will have the new logo and colour scheme. New control panel, complete new help system, complete new place advert and advert pages. There are a number of navigational changes that you will soon become familiar with.”
Indeed, the site is slightly easier to use but does break on certain screen resolutions, so you may have to scroll down through lots of blank space to find what you’re looking for.
You can still search Tazbar with Auction Alfie’s auction search to compare the products with other auction websites like eBay, uBid and eBid.

Gumtree will compete for classfieds in the US with Craigslist and Kijiji (owned by eBay).

Zippi is a new service aimed at ‘lazy’ sellers or people who have stuff to sell but really can’t be bothered to spend time taking all the photos and listing the items on eBay.
Well, how does it work?
In the words of Zippi: “Zippi will zip on over, pick everything up and sell it all on eBay for you. We take care of the whole process, start to finish.”
Of course, you pay for this service but if you have enough to sell then it could certainly pay off.
