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?

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.
