I was one of the many who closed their ebay and paypal accounts several months ago.
While I've found Gunsamerica and Gunbroker to be good alternates for gun-related items, a replacement site for classified/auctioned general merchandise proved harder to find.
I recently used craigslist to buy one item and sell another. There is no listing or buying fee, and you don't have to open an account. Craigslist makes their money by charging for job postings.
2 things that I've learned about Craigslist that you may want to keep in mind, however:
- They are 25% owned by ebay
- They have a spin-off foundation, the mission of which is "community outreach." It claims to be a place to volunteer and make your community better, but has ties with, and links on the foundation websites to, anti-gun and other socially "progressive" institutions. There are links to the foundation and its child sites on the main craigslist webpage.
Just an FYI from my own experience and research.
