Introducing RaiseYourPaddlez, a New Auction Site

RaiseYourPaddlez is a new website for live auctions. The video below gives a good explanation of how the site works.

If you have items you wish to sell at auction, you would register as a user of the site, and then upload information about your product. The site has a variety of categories to choose from so that people browsing the listings will find your item, and the interface is easy with fill in the blanks forms to use.

The creators of the site emphasize that their intent is to offer a safe buying and selling experience, without the high selling fees of some other sites. They also pride themselves on offering excellent customer service.

RaiseYourPaddlez was launched just two months ago, so keep an eye on it to see how it grows as an auction-format marketplace for buyers and sellers all over the world.

TrueGether, A Free Online Marketplace for Buyers and Sellers

Last November I learned about a site called TrueGether and posted an introduction to the site.

Over the last six months, the site has continued to grow. There is a useful feature for sellers which allows you to use TrueGether to manage multiple marketplaces. You just select one marketplace as your primary marketplace, and when you make adjustments to product quantities and other info, it gets updated in your other marketplaces. This feature currently works with eBay, Facebook, and Google Shopping.

TrueGether also uses social media and SEO techniques to get the word out about your products. When someone makes a purchase from you, their friends hear about that purchase on social media. TrueGether also makes it easier to get social endorsements for your products.

If you want to buy and sell items directly on the TrueGether marketplace, you pay no fees to list, sell, or buy. So there's no risk in trying out the marketplace as a new venue for your products. Buyers can trust the site because they are able to buy products using PayPal or Amazon Payments.

If you're a buyer and/or a seller looking for a free online marketplace, check out TrueGether and see what you think.

Introducing Bidkay, An Online Auction Site

As someone who enjoys buying and selling products online, I'm always interested to hear about a new online marketplace. Bidkay is an auction website which allows members to buy and sell new or used merchandise, services, electronics, household items, books, and more.

Bidkay is free to join, and you pay and get paid using the secure services of PayPal. Buyers and sellers also have the option to complete cash transactions in person if they prefer. Bidkay also offers free listings and free upgrades such as a bold title, a free store, and a featured home page. Sellers pay a fee when they make a sale.

The site also has advanced search functions which allow you to search closed auctions or to look for the listings of a particular seller. These sorts of features are great for both buyers and sellers to do the research they need for successful transactions.

I have seen a lot of sellers especially who are looking for alternatives to eBay, and Bidkay is positioning itself to be that very thing. The site has a clean layout, and with the free upgrades, I think sellers will be intrigued! I hope that people will find Bidkay and help it catch on as an easy to use, interactive marketplace.
