Hi, Thanks 

I have and and yes you are right; less traffic at the moment, but I am patient and as more people become aware of the selling and buying alternatives, things may change.

I have been reading posts such as this for in excess of 10 years now as have all the members who come to the boards,

We are all aware of the alternatives to ebay and many of us have tried them.

Almost without exception the sellers have come back to ebay after finding that there is just not the traffic on other sites.

As a buyer I have visited and bought on several other sites but I still find I keep coming back to ebay for a better selection of goods and better prices.

You will need to be very patient if you are going to wait for the other sites to be any real competition to ebay I'm afraid.
