It Pays to Google for Alternative Online Selling Sites

Auction Bytes, in a recent article explore and explain some of the truths surrounding alternatives. In an article titled eBay Alternatives Pick up Stream thanks to Google Ina Steiner discusses eCrater, Amazon, among other alternatives.

With the rise of interest in alternative sites that work, Steiner gets the job done. One thing she mentions is how Google visibility has helped popularize sites like Ruby Lane, Wensy, and netSpray.

Another interesting game changer mentioned is the evolution to a more multi-channel mindset. Merchants have been increasingly driven to try multiple sites, multiple sales channels to help them in their online buying and selling.

If you haven't read it, I suggest it.

The Seal is Broken


I am very excited to be posting my first blog article. I begin this blog with the ambition of serving and learning from the online selling community. I have experience in selling online and hope to continue to be able to live comfortably as an online seller. 

I do have interest in alternative sites. Amazon, eBay, and even craigslist strike me as power-houses in the online sellers industry. But, I do know that more sites spring up, shoot out and are rereated almost daily. Most of my sales have been through eBay, which I still believe is a wonderful site that has done so much for so many. 

It saddens me to think that eBay would be in risk of peril. Moreover, I shutter to think that the United States is in a regrettable financial downturn. I believe that being positive and looking for the good in life are essential keys to living a fulfilled life. I also believe that it is essential for us to be honest and aware of facts as we go through life. 

I am retired from teaching, but not from learning. I hope to help entertain, inform, and inspire as I know so many of you do these things so well for me. Thank you for reading and please feel free to share your comments.
