    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap for sellers.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very quiet of late!!

    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 has recently been re-designed. It now looks more appealing than the previous version but the fancy graphics now take longer to download and the ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Access to European markets

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nothing there

    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 the same - my French, Spanish and Italian skills are not up to the translastions.) The site has recently been redesigned and following the trend set by ... more

    4 Stars Great promotional auctions 22/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages promotional items are great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages quiet

    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 helpline which is VERY useful. When I used it, the person could have not been more helpful! To conclude, aucland is a good auction site - lots are ... more

    5 Stars Oh so quiet 08/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, clear, many features, special offers, easy to find a bargain, great customer support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too quiet for sellers

    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 for as much as it would on www.qxl.com or www.ebay.co.uk. But if you're a buyer, that means you have more chance of actually finding a bargain item ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lack of users

    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 up for sale. Clicking on these will take you into the various sub-catorgories, then into the items for sale. The links to the auctions are layed out ... more

    3 Stars Shame no one sells much 16/11/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Can't fault layout and design

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Never seems to many items for auction

    I have used a number of auctions and I was disapointed by the limited quantity of auctions taking place at aucland. Where other sites would have say 100 auctions on a specific item eg. rock/pop CDs, aucland seems only to ever have about 25. Aucland has great potential, the site is fast and user friendly to navigate around, it just needs more people using the site. More publicity is needed so that it can compete with other leading auction sites, otherwise I am afraid aucland has a limited life span. ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a large amount of products

    Aucland an excellemt auction site which you can move through the site easy and find great bargains that the site has on offer. The only problem that I found with the site was that there wasn't enough stuff though the site is user friendly. The site is great to look and really easy to use compaired to other auction sites I've been to. It's great to find a product that you've been searching for with such easy. It's also great for selling as well as buying. Your product is the focal point of your personal auction. ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Seems very attractive, when you sign up.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cant seem to sell owt!

    Having been a member of Aucland for quite some time now, I am becoming very uncomfortable, regards the ins and outs of the workings of this site! I have personally place several items for sale on Aucland, and have found it impossible to sell even one of them. Sure......their site is very well laid out and its functions and facilities are great....such as being emailed when someone has bid for and item, or being informed when any particular item, comes up for sale....But.....What good is all this, if no- one wants to buy what your selling. I recently placed for auction, an eighteenth centuary ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of Auction topics covered

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sort your own arrangemnets out after sale

    I first got introduced to aucland with an offer through libertysurf, offering all libertysurf mambers a free chart CD if they registered at Aucland. Since joining, i have recieved my free CD, and think the service is very good there. you don't have to mess about putting your credit card details in as you just sort out the payments with the other party when the auctioned item has been sold. It is an easily navigatable site and easy to bid, they have also extended their free selling option for a couple more months. they make their money, at the moment, by offering bold text and top of list ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free Auctions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing really

    Aucland is a superb internet auction site. You can buy and sell almost anything you want on Aucland which is good. It doesn't ask for credit card details like most auction sites. You can register quickly and start selling. I have sold loads of stuff on Aucland and the people I deal with never mess you around. If I want to sell something quickly I go straight to Aucland. The best place is the Computer and Movie section of the site. It is also free so you don't have to pay to put something up for sale. ... more
