I originally started to use Aucland to sell my products when they were offering you the chance to sell items completely free (ie. no listing fee or commission fees). At this time the site was buzzing and I was selling quite a few products that I had listed. The site was very easy to use making the whole experience very simple. However, there have been some recent changes which are certainly not for the better. Website Redesign The Aucland website ...
...the previous version but the fancy graphics now take longer to download and the navigiation is a little more complex. The team seem to have focused on the aesthetic approach and not the more important user-friendly approach which we all want. Pricing Well, the only reason Aucland are here is to make money. However, when they were offering free listings they were not making any real cash so that had to change. As a result, you now have to pay a ...

Review of aucland.co.uk

Reading the history of reviews of Aucland it's not difficult to see a steady declining pattern. Looking at the site today it's certainly difficult to justify their (current) number 3 slot in the 'Best Auctions'-even QXL is better and that says alot! Its already been said - but incase you missed it. Aucland is a Paris based online auction with sites in France, Spain, Italy and the UK. (I can't comment on the other sites - except to say they look ...
...not up to the translastions.) The site has recently been redesigned and following the trend set by QXL - they have made it more 'click intensive' to navigate the site in a bid for greater 'advertising page views'. I find this really irritating. The other thing they have done is stopped displaying the number of lots they have for sale in each category (the reading was getting too grim!). Having been a keen follower of Aucland for more than a year ...

Review of aucland.co.uk

Aucland is a pretty quiet UK based auction site but with a difference!... Quite often they have special promotional auctions. These often start at £1 with no reserve. It is a great place to pick up a bragain. They have products such as TVs and mobile phones which go for a lot less than their retail price. Of course, you can buy from private sellers but there are not many products for sale but you may pick up a bargain. There is a freephone aucland ...

Review of aucland.co.uk

Aucland are a france-based company who are expanding all over Europe to pring Internet users yet another auction site. They first opened their doors over a year ago now, but they're still yet to break on to the auction scene, and it's looking less and less likely that they ever will. their site is crisp and clear, and thanks to the lack of traffic, listing your items is quite often free. But really, it's pretty unlikely that your item will sell ...
...But if you're a buyer, that means you have more chance of actually finding a bargain item than you would on either of those two sites. However, the choice is far more limited. The best thing about Aucland by far are the regular offers they have from companies, selling things from compact discs to holidays for a minute fraction of the price you'd find in the shops. I bought my mobile phone from there, as well as 100+ CD's. When you sign up, you ...

Review of aucland.co.uk

I have been using Aucland for over 6 months now for buying a range of things from computers to C.D's and in my opinion it is one of the best British auction sites out there at the moment. The layout is good with the mainpage providing a good overview to whats happening on the rest of the site. There is a search box positioned in the center an links to the main sections are positioned to the left with number indicators to show the amount of items ...
...into the various sub-catorgories, then into the items for sale. The links to the auctions are layed out below each other with the current highest bid, end date and a range of icons to indicate whether the item has a reserve price, whether there is a photo and how popular the item is. There is usually a good range of items in most sections being sold by both merchants and individuals. The auction page gives the overall rating of the seller and the ...
