True in part that Quicksales is slow...however I make more sales there than I do on eBay these days.
Mainly because I can offer items 15% Lower than I can on eBay, and without all the eBay mumbo jumbo Policies grief.
The fact is eBay is slowly imploding due to excessive greed and arrogance towards both Buyers & Sellers.
They had the market in the palm of their hands, but instead of looking after the marketplace, they closed their hands and squeezed the living **bleep** out of it. And when things get worse, they create new and ever inventive ways to raise the fee's higher.
Anyway, I could no longer cop a loss of 15% to 20% on every item I sold on eBay so stopped selling. Gumtree I find a complete waste of time, so now use Quicksales and local classifieds and still do ok, not as great as the eBay days long since past, but do ok all the same.
Another good idea is to launch your own website and sell direct. It costs very little to do, but once you get the hang of it things get easy and Buyers using Google searches and alsike manage to find you. I still offer Paypal to buyers (for the moment, or until they jack-up their fee's) as its cheaper than having bank credit card vendor services.
I think its a case you just have to look further afield than eBay these days. Just like the bursting of the Dot Com bubble, eBay has burst (more like splattered) and doesn't know its dead but being only kept alive via life support system...which will eventually be switched off by US mum & dad shareholders.
