In theory, over an extended period of time, you could trade up
to some worthwhile stuff.

More and more of these "social marketing" sites are springing up.

    I don't think https links on websites ever work, for whatever reason, i guess because it's a secured page.

    This is a better link showing how it works: Interesting website - thanks for the info.

    This actually looks like a pretty cool site - is there a way to search completed auctions?
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Stevek that is exactly the reason. HTTP is not secure. HTTPS is.

    Good for you.

    Listia is actually one of my buddy's sites. Great to see word is spreading around.

    This forum has separate link buttons for http and https. Most just use the standard [URL] code for links, but this one uses [L] for non-secure links and [S] for secure links.

    I haven't set up my account yet; I will soon.

    I am trying to figure out the "best" way to play.

    There are some PSA 9 cards and some other semi-decent cards
    on the site.

    There is some stuff in electronics and fashion that would be highly
    saleable on EBAY.

    As folks "practice" and try to learn the ropes, it may be advantageous
    to throw really cheap stuff up just to quickly accumulate credits.

    ............................

    On a related note, with eCrater offering AdSense money to listers, it
    seems that listing a thousand raw cards might be a winner. The pages
    are dumped to google every few days and the ads on the pages are
    bound to generate some clicks. (It might actually be more profitable
    to play the AdSense game on eCrater than it is to sell there.)

    Since google has named eCrater a "primary partner" in google-CheckOut
    and has now made the large AdSense deal with eCrater, there is bound
    to be substantial speculation that google might be interested in
    acquiring eCrater. It would be a cheap/easy way for google to get deep
    into the mix quickly.

    Meanwhile, the best looking site - Bonanza - continues to languish. If
    they ever decide to advertise and become a destination site, the venue
    has great promise. Relying solely on google/yahoo/bing will continue to
    impede their growth. (They now have over 540K members and about
    40K stores, with about 3.5-million listings; not a bad start.)

    I agree with you about building up credits. There aren't a lot of listings out there now, so it might be good to save up some credits when more stuff (and hopefully better) stuff gets listed. However, it might be good place to get rid of stuff you could never sell on Ebay to turn into one bigger thing that you could.
