Ebay pioneered the feedback system and has no rival in this department. SafeHarbor attempts to resolve disputes between buyer and seller. Easy on the eye, searchable and very user-friendly. A drawback is that you can t search by geographical location. It s free, but you do need a valid credit card to sell on the site.
Site is rather cluttered, but is well organised and searchable.
If the seller agrees, you can use your credit card to pay for the goods. It s free to register, bid or buy. Many categories contain no items at all. You can t check the identity of the seller, nor can you email queries to the seller. You may browse for free, but you can only bid on an item if you leave a refundable deposit that amounts to 10 per cent of that item s value.
