Review of avabid.com by mrmick

Advantages: Another free auction site
Disadvantages: Not easy to filter things

Following the closure of Yahoo auctions a number of free auction sites popped up to fill the void. This is one of them, and one of the better ones. The site launched a little later than expected and they are still developing the site (they do respond to user feedback and are constantly open to suggesitons) and they have experienced some server capacity problems along the way, but this site keeps imrpoving. I was a bit concerned when this site was ...
...Every time you did something you had to re-enter your user name and password. It would only let you re-list a maximum of 2 times, although this was then updated to 5 times and now auto-relist 999 times. It won't let you do a single fixed price auction, although multiple fixed price auctions (dutch auctions) are fine. They did a deal when they started that you could transfer your old Yahoo auction ratings and get some credits for payment of a nominal ... Read review

Feel free to use them.
Review of avabid.com by jmlane

Advantages: Free to list and sell items, British based site.
Disadvantages: Early days yet.

This site has sprung up in response to the closure of Yahoo UK's auction site. It has only been open for a few months so it is still being developed but shows great potential. Just like Yahoo was, this site does not charge a listing fee or a final value fee. However, you do have the option to use enhancement to your listings such as bold type title for 39p. You can also transfer your ratings from other auction sites for £2.50 - but they also credit ...
...there are just over 3000 members and new members are joining all the time, as it stands there is a reasonable range of items listed, but this is obviously improving as more people join. I recommend you visit the site to see if there is anything of particular interest to you - for instance there is quite a good range of DVDs available. There are quite a few customisable options for you when listing your auction, you can choose for it to be between ... Read review

Another free site with lots of features
Review of avabid.com by mrnasty10

Advantages: Free and lots of features
Disadvantages: Still being developed

Following the closure of Yahoo auctions a number of free auction sites popped up to fill the void. This is one of them, and one of the better ones. One of the most positive things about this site is that they do respond to user feedback. If you come up with something that will make your life easier as a seller (or buyer come to that) they will try to make it happen (or explain why not) Ok, the site launched a little later than expected and they ...
...server capacity problems along the way, but this site keeps imrpoving. I was a bit concerned when this site was launched as it promised much and was very user unfriendly. Every time you did something you had to re-enter your user name and password. It would only let you re-list a maximum of 2 times (this has now been updated to 5 times) and it won't let you do a single fixed price auction, although multiple fixed price auctions are fine.

Excellent Site and FREE !!
Review of avabid.com by djblamire

Advantages: Free to Buy, Free to Sell, Free to Register
Disadvantages: NONE

I have been using AVABID.COM since they launched just over a year ago. It has always been a very good auction site to list items on. It is very fast (compared to other sites), and there are plenty of registered users. When I signed up I received a free £10 credit just by transferring my ratings from the old Yahoo UK auction site. I believe they still offer this feature. I have been recommending this site to others, and would recommend it to you ... Read review
