New web site to battle Ebay?

I received an email from a UACC Registered Dealer saying due to recent changes on ebay they were closing their Ebay store and moving to a new site at Bonanza.com. I noticed there are several people listing there and some with PAAS COA's. Thought someone maybe interested they maybe cheaper then ebay? And you can still find good autos on ebay if you are careful.

What changes at eBay were they talking about? I think eBay will be the dominant player for a long time in autographs, but there's definitely room for competition.

Did you find much interesting at Bonanza?

Not really Steve seems kinda High priced but didnt do much looking, Ebay is really shooting themselves in the foot they are now charging the sellers for the shipping charges? Doesnt make sense to me people will go to where they get the most bang for their buck. I will bet some good stuff will make its way there I would STILL ADVISE TO RESEARCH THE SELLER AS BEST YOU CAN! Just surprised to see UACC people going there!

EBay will always be the king of auctions.

People used to think that MySpace would always be the leader in that area too. ;-)

I agree that eBay will be the dominant player for the foreseeable future, but always? I don't think so.

I don't know about the dealer you mentioned. However, in many cases dealers who have had auctions removed or ended ( mostly for being possible forgeries ) usually claim that ebay is the problem and attempt to sell on another ( or their own ) website.

Many times you will find that these items come with COAs from "experts" or people that are not allowed on ebay. Sometimes, you find that there are items with COAs that are allowed on ebay floating around on these sites. These items too may have been removed from ebay. So, if you feel this is the case, ask here and one of us will find out if it ws removed for you.

People complain about ebay, yet they mostly have no clue how hard the fraud division works to ensure that the site is as safe as possible. There are a LOT of legal and policy issues that go into every removal.

Like I said though, this may not be the case with this seller, It's just something that has happened MANY times.
