You can post things that you don't want and people come and get them. I tried to get 4 tennis rackets today, but someone was faster on the response time. I have posted too. It's pretty cool. If there is something you need, you can probably find it there. (You can't then list it on eBay. You can get in trouble)
I know I don't have the extra money to just buy what I want anywhere, not just here on eBay. Gas is over 4.00 a gallon here, groceries are expensive and my paycheck has NOT gone up to reflect what is happening. I think pretty much everyone can agree on that one.
Onlineauction (OLA) is great! It costs $8.00 a month to be a verified seller, No listing fees, no FVF.....and I notice if you go to the Chat page and meet people and join in the games.....YOU CAN GET SALES!
