If you only have one item to list and want a quick sale, Ebay is
currently the way
to go.
If you sell a lot of items on a regular basis, and are tired of eBay's
fee
increases, move all or part of your listings to Yahoo and encourage
other
sellers to do the same.
The # 1 site is wherever sellers list most of their items. That is
where the buyers
will be. Better to list on a free site than one that keeps increasing
your fees.
