does anybody know of a decent alternative to EBay ? Ebay seem to have a monoply on the online auction business and I was wondering if there was anybody else.
Im starting to get annoyed with non-paying bidders and other mupperts on Ebay.

You can try yahoo auctions or cnet.

the only thing ive found is ebid , yahoo is closed for the UK

QXL used to be quite good but they seem a little quiet now.

For electronics I use UBid alot of refurbished stuff at good prices because not many bidders yet.

Ubid isn't as good as they used to be. I got my PC on a great deal from them but they have since downsized the amount of auctions they have going at one time (so more people bid on each item). Ebay is still the most comprehensive auction site on the net.

For uk there is also ebid, nowhere near as big as ebay and has a lot of people selling junk but you can get some good deals there.

www.adtrader.co.uk has mkuch better deals than ebay. also you can try

www.auctionlotwatch.com for an auction crawler
