Aside from that i bet you can't get this on either of those sites 151287125925 or 371154673556 funny what i find when I'm bored.

After eBay cull all the interesting small sellers they might not be here.

I don't like Gumtree,it's way too garage sale for my liking & QS didn't send an email confirmation thingy,so I don't like them either.eBay is run like the third reich on crack & just as unstable.

The listing numbers may be there on all three but sales are less promising.

I'm trying out a couple of the same items on both gumtree and QS.

So far, gumtree is generating a lot more looks.

On QS, both items have only had 6 clicks and no contacts.

One item is furniture and the other a new puzzle.

I find furniture often sells in gumtree but smaller items are much harder to move.

I wonder if it is because people can't be bothered driving to look at small things & it can be embarrasssing to say no then.

But as a buyer, I am also starting to look at both sites more. The prices generally start higher than on ebay though and I think it is because face to face potential buyers beat you down whereas on ebay, prices generally go up. The end price is what matters though.

Used to buy and sell on ebay a lot more, but I'm buying equally from gumtree now as well.And much, much more from daily deal sites.

quicksales is totally free to sell, but there are not many buyers. Gumtree is the same for me. I've had about 25 items listed on Quicksales and 5 items on Gumtree. I haven't had a bid all year. I'm not holding my breath to sell those items quickly. I will probably have to try ebay with them.

Like someone else said a lot of the smaller sellers and even the bigger ones are looking at other places now and they also buy....

If someone wants something they will find it .......

She's sold 62 tins of possum so that's why she's looking so happy showcasing her tinned critters.It's all part of the charm that made eBay a place where people wanted to shop.

I like diversity of product & eBay should leave that alone.I'm probably not the only one wasting time wandering around eBay looking at dumb stuff when I'm bored.It's like impulse shopping at a B&M,chanses are I'm going to buy a lot of stuff i don't need & shiny things.Just 'cos it's cheap,I'm impulsive & it takes up just 3min of my short attention span.

There are also several human souls being auctioned. 161435427313 etc Maybe eBay should buy them since they don't have one now.They sold them at the stock market.

I see your tinned koala and raise you this... (I actually have more than one. Both already opened a long time ago, too, sadly - shoulda saved them for eBay 😄 ).
