Hey, I'll let you in on a little secret - if you want or need something - don't do eBay. Auction sites charge you a lot of money to post your ads. Plus, they have a lot of guidelines such as what you can and can't sell. And for those people that aren't allowed to sell certain things - that means you can't buy them either. Best bet is to check out free classified ads online. These sites are terrific. You can use them if you are a seller or a buyer. And you can do it for FREE. of course you have the extra added bonus option of paying a small fee in order to get a featured ad placed on the site - but this isn't mandatory. It's just available so that you have a better chance of people seeing your ad.

These sites can be used for everything and anything. Maybe you are a buyer and looking for a new cell phone, car, laptop, job, house - these sites are for you! Or maybe you are a seller and you want to sell whatever products you have. Both of you types of people can find exactly what you need on these sites. Oh and I just found this one site today that has something called "Wanted Alerts". This is a free service that contacts you when someone has posted an ad that matches your keyword or phrase. You can add as many keywords or phrases as you like. Their keyword alert system sends you an email containing new classified ads containing keywords that you specify.

Pretty cool. I mean you could just as well make the alert, sit back, and watch the ads come rolling in. Then, you simply reply to the ad through use of the contact form and that's it. Now you and the seller are connected and you can talk it out. These sites are made with you the seller and the buyer in mind. This is a cost efficient and time effective way to sell or buy whatever you want. It's very easy to do and you don't even have to register for an account if you don't want to. This is what people like. Options. No one likes to be told what to do or that they have to do something a certain way. Of course there are guidelines you do have to follow on sites such as this but not as bad as "auction sites".

One thing you really want to make sure you follow through with is the spamming. Don't do it on sites like this or you could end up ruining a really good thing for yourself! Just imagine all the people that come on these sites! You could have a lot of people to buy from or sell to. Spam on these sites and you probably won't be given a second chance. So just play by the rules. Have fun and good luck!
