tazbar.com

Tazbar.com is basically a cheaper and better version of eBay. I have been using this site since the beginning of January , and so far so good. The site is well laid out and easy to use, and best of all there are no listing fees. Yes, its free to list! Free! -Background- Tazbar is set up in a very similar way to eBay. People can list items either in an auction style , buy it now (BIN) or both if you want. The items are listed for a specific amount of time (as many days as you want up to 14 days) and bids are placed or the item is sold through BIN. The item is then paid for and sent to the buyer ... more

I have supported the site for as long as I could but just before Christmas 2007 they changed and increased there fees and never contacted anyone about it until lots of members started complaining about it on the forum. They say the new fees and limits are to help reduce listings of the same items. All tazbar needed to do is make some software changes like other sites have done that automatically remove multi listings of the same item and close listings if you don't login after a set time etc. Charging high fees and reducing listings is not the way forward . I would love tazbar to succeed but I ... more

Tazbar is a refreshing, new alternative to eBay. All items qualify for standard free listing and this has encouraged the site to grow rapidly. There is a now a large range of products on offer. Customer support is excellent; you actually deal with real people rather than the faceless system of eBay. As a buyer, I feel it is the safest auction site to buy on and as a seller I have found the system easy to use. Not only is standard listing free on Tazbar but also included is a free gallery picture with every listing (something eBay charges 15p extra for). Final Value fees are also very ... more

TAZBAR has closed so don't bother reading this or any other review of the site. I have to completely rewrite this review. Tazbar is totally changing its fee structure with less than 2 weeks notice. I only have that much because someone, not from the company, posted a link on their forums. Not only is the site no longer free to list but I can't give management many points for communication. So where is Tazbar today? It's a St. Elsewhere auction site with less than 150,000 listings. As I type this, the number is plummeting. At close to 1000 per hour and this is not sales - this is sellers ... more

I have been with Ebay for about 4 years and to be honest dont really mind the fees, but I thought it would be nice to give the underogs a try. I have tried Ebid (not impressed) and am now giving Tazbar a go. First impressions on Tazbar are good. Its a very professionally run and well managed website. Listing REALLY is free here - you get all the features you would on Ebay and it costs you nothing. So your listing has a free Gallery and Free Buy It Now. In my opinion Free Listing is the biggest benefit of this site, I list some small value items like books and CDs which dont always sell first ... more
