Life Beyond Ebay

The auction world can be a fun and exciting place.

Many started their selling and buying experience on Ebay, but things
are changing.

For the seller it is getting harder and harder on Ebay.
The recent changes have had sellers totally frustrated.

The fees have gone up, sellers can no longer leave negative feedback
for bad buyers or non paying bidders, limits have been set on what can be
charged to ship certain items and now sellers will no longer be able to
accept any form of payment except PayPal (owned by Ebay)

All these changes also mean that it is harder for good buyers to find
great deals.

Because of all these changes more and more buyers and sellers are looking at alternative auction sites.

After checking out numerous alternative sites I have decided to make milbid
my primary Ebay alternative.

Milbid.com offers me an easy to use platform, no fees to list, no fees to set up a store, no final value fees! You can also use a large variety of payment options. Contact with the admin of the site is easy and the forum is full of members eager to help the sellers succeed.

Milbid also has a clear cut mission

The first is to help in support of the Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and
Marines
that we ask to defend our freedom, everyday life, and the ones we
love.

The second part is to give buyers and sellers a true alternative in
buying
and selling instead of being laced with fees and hassles.

Weaning off of Ebay is not an easy task for most of us, but with alternative
sites like milbid.com  the idea becomes less scary. A future without Ebay becomes a real possibility.
