External Auction Site Discussion Thread

[shaggy]

I've already sold things on the site and I see Cobra is selling things.  Great site, Jasen.  When was the decision made to have no Final Value Fee? There was initially a fee and I was wondering where my invoice was when I sold my stuff but I got nothing!  Then I found out today there was no fee anymore.

The invoices are sent out when you reach $5 owed at the 30 day point. You can always look at your Account History to see any charges. The no fees came about within the past week so if your auctions ended before then you may have gotten some small charges. You probably had a credit anyways, at least $2.50 so you probably still have a credit!

Very nice.  I applaud you for doing that.

You may have noticed, yesterday the Category List became much larger than before. I added a lot of new categories to help keep things more organized for future growth of GameGavel. As I was adding the categories I noticed that there were a lot of ONE HIT WONDER consoles out there! Wow! Its amazing that now-a-days only 3 compaines really make game systems!

In any case, there are some great new features coming, which you will have to wait till they launch for more details on. I have had problems with ideas being borrowed before I roll them out completely. So stay tuned!

Due to Game Gavels focus on what I love most, video games you have my loyalty. The only two auction sites I'll even use are eBay and Game Gavel.

Awesome, Thanks Cobra!

We have added quite a few new features that will make everyone's experience that much better when using this FREE video game auction site!

1. Categories, Categories, Categories! Thats right, we added a lot. There are a heck of a lot of gaming systems out there.

I just signed up
I got a message in the top left that said:
Mail Sending Failed..
I'm gonna be late for work though.
Check back later.

[Dragon Warrior Jasen]

Izret, taken care of! Per our email.

For all others, I am fixing the problem. It seems to be happening due to a tweak I was making to the software. Should be resolved today!

Oh, there are a lot of sweet auctions up right now! Thanks for the support! In the past week we got 20% more new auctions!

I'm sure there will be plenty more auctions to follow
It is good to see you become a regular on these boards and letting us know all the latest on Game Gavel.

[Dragon Warrior Jasen]

No worries! If I wasnt busy with work, my Masters Degree, running GameGavel, and being a loving husband... id probably get more time to play my games and actually talk about them with you all!

By the way, check the stores area... I created the second store! Currently, the only active store... but its technically the second.

Jut signed up! Thanks.

[shaggy]

Come check it out!  A lot of auctions up and with new members more is sure to come!

[Cobra]

You really can't argue with a site that lets you list your items for free

I'm also sure no one is happy with eBay's gag order, no allowing sellers to leave negative or even neutral comments about bad buyers that stuff them around.

So like shaggy said, give it a look.

Over the past few weeks I have been diligently working on a new theme for GameGavel.com. Today I finally felt it was ready to launch. I hope you all enjoy, you can see the new layout and perhaps join GameGavel here:

www.gamegavel.com

Don't forget about our 5-5-5 Contest, where when you buy 5 items, sell 5 items, or even refer 5 friends to GameGavel.com between now and July 1 you can win a Brand New Nintendo DS!

Cobra, and Shaggy Thanks for the plugs. I think I may do a special RF Generation Only Contest next month because you guys are so great!

Cobra, and Shaggy Thanks for the plugs. I think I may do a special RF Generation Only Contest next month because you guys are so great!

That would be so cool! Really look forward to that.
I like the new look, especially like how the Game Gavel logo now blends in with the rest of the top bar, and also that the pop up about joining has now vanished It looks good.
