Auction Bytes Seller's Choice: Merchants Rate Ecommerce Marketplaces

[iwiw60]

After years of being rated by buyers on marketplaces, sellers had their turn to do some rating of their own. In January 2010, AuctionBytes asked online sellers to rate 15 ecommerce marketplaces to find out which were the best venues on which to sell. Over 1,400 online sellers completed the survey - find out how the marketplaces stacked up - you may be surprised at which ones received highest marks.

Interesting reading. Thanks.

Did I miss it, or have they failed to give an overall score, or show the ranking in a meaningful way?

That's not what I asked, but thanks.

By the text, those go to individual rankings per site. I'm saying where is the *total* ranking between sites, all items combined?

I didn't see it broken down that way, but perhaps I missed that. In the article, all I read was which site ranked best in each category.

"e__y was one of the lowest ranked marketplaces, and was weakest in terms of customer service and communication"

No prizes for guessing which marketplace site fills the blank

Its a shame we (ebid) are in the middle, just below feebay.
I think the overall experience on ebid is much better.
Hope JD gets to read it !

I certainly would not take too much notice of the survey. I use most of the other alternatives mentioned and this site is still by far the best out there. Many of the other alternatives have slow loading pages and are very difficult to navigate even for an experienced seller/buyer. Also across the other 5 feebay alternatives i've had a total of zero sales whereas on here my sales are snowballing week on week.

What worried me, while doing the survey, was that there was nothing to prevent sellers entering negative reports for sites which they didn't sell on.
