There are no online sites the can provide the reach that Ebay does. Ebay
knows this, hence their overinflated fees and idiotic policies which are
driving away sellers.

No sellers + Nothing to buy = Less money for Ebay! Seems rather counter
intuitive to me. I say Ebay should raise their fees to 50% and get it
over with. At least then they'll go bankrupt faster and people will be
motivated to create an alternative.

Spacifieds.com is a free option. I created this site a while back and
its been on pause for a while.

I know there's some other auction sites, but nothing like Ebay. Yahoo
shut it's auctions down a long time ago, and Amazon is mainly books and
stuff and their fees are expensive. I don't know of any alternative
that can really compete with Ebay except Craigslist and Ebay owns 25% of
that company too.

Oh well...

Regards,
Eric
