I currently sell on Ebay and Amazon. I always wanted to try another one of these companies, but do not want to waste my time. Maybe I Offer is the best of the rest.

I was really thinking about iOffer until I read all of the horror stories by so many people. Plus, I don't have the time to deal with buyers constantly offering 50% or less than what is listed. I already have so much work ahead of me that there is just no time for silly buyers.

I tried to shop there and that place would just make me constantly mad as a seller. I already get annoyed when I do best offer with eBay and get jokers. Dealing with jokers all day would not be good. Plus, when a seller turns down an initial offer, that buyer is not likely to give positive feedback even if they do buy the item.

I am also selling well in iOffer. But I understand it's not without it's frustrations. One of them is not "don't have the time to deal with buyers constantly offering 50% or less" though, because I check the box that says "Non-negotiable (fixed price)." This prevents someone from offering anything less than what you list an item for.

The other point is, this site gets a huge amount of traffic. You can go to an independent website that tracks website traffic from the U.S. and see that they have an amount that is far above the other websites listed here, except for the big ones-- Ebay, Amazon, Craigslist. The traffic of all other selling sites pales in comparison to those. So if you sell on any of the smaller-traffic websites, you need to promote your items hard in other places online. Otherwise, forget any of them if you're going to sit back and wait for sales to pour in. To be honest, Ebay still towers above any of the other selling sites as a destination place for buyers who are shopping for specific items. I wish that wasn't the case, because I dislike selling there. For those who want to list, then sit back and wait for a fast sale, Ebay is it at the moment, in my opinion.

iOffer has a lot of cleaning up to do, but they have gone through a lot of positive changes and growth in the past half year. I really hope they can get it together and turn the site into a successful Ebay alternative for more people. To do that, they need to trim the illegal garbage people list, speed up their equipment (which they have said they are doing. I don't know if that's accurate), make functions work more smoothly without the bugs, and hire more friendly, capable people to handle customer service.

Besides the slowness, and fake stuff on ioffer, its actually a pretty good site. I just had a disgruntled buyer copy my listing and selling it for cheaper. I reported it to customer service and within 1 hour his listings were deleted and he got suspended. He then made a new id and that too got suspended. I think ioffer cares about it sellers. I used to average $2000 per month on ebay selling downloadable digital items, until ebay banned digital items. Now I'm doing $400-500 a month on ioffer and its doubling every month. Great site but depends on what you sell.

Wow! I have been on iOffer since February and I have none of these problems.

I have never had a person try to negotiate a lower price even though I allow offers.

Speed for me is never a problem.

I find the people over there to be very friendly in the clubs and nothing like many of the people here that beat down sites and can get downright nasty.

There tools are great.

I have always been paid.

I have had an influx of sales this past week and I really think that people are beginning to find the place.

The big keys are Google base and keywords, keywords, keywords in profile and product.

Happy iOffering!
