Question eBay or Bonanzle.com

If you set aside the traffic and look at both sites, which one do you like better?

Let me know, I am going to monitor this thread and reply to any questions. Yes, I am part of Bonanzle, no secrets. We are looking for opinions from a different crowd and that is why I am here at Pentax Forums. It is free and please google it if you like to make sure I am legit. We just launched on June 1st and it is just Bill and I so go easy on us.

Thanks,
Mark

No offense towards you or Bonanzle, Mark.
But in my opinion this thread is borderline SPAM.

How about becoming a productive member before starting such threads, then others might not share in this opinion.
It doesn't take much to say how nice a photo is here and there

Now to help answer your question.

I know of several people frustrated with E-Bay, and it would be nice to have an alternative.
So I really hope that your site takes off.

But, in my opinion you've messed up by even mentioning E-Bay.
The most successful businesses never mention, or compare themselves to their competition.
Have you ever seen McDonald's mention Burger King, or Subway.
In my opinion their food is inferior, along with their service. But they rack up more $ than the others could ever dream of.

If your post doesn't get deleted I might look into a merchant account when I have the time.

Good luck with everything.

Thank you so much for not blasting me for posting. I genuinely appreciate your very kind and informative post. I will look into a merchant account and be much more careful with my wording on future posts.

Thanks again and have a good night.

Mark

PS, I do enjoy taking picture (my favorite camera right now is my Jack Holga flash camera which I bought from The White Striipes web site, it has some cool filters that came with it)

I will allow this thread for now.

Tried to access your site, but the index returned a 403 error! Edit: it looks like maintenance is being performed, so I'll just check back later.
