Google Base is in
development by Google at this time. It is relatively new service that
Google has added at this time. Google is starting to put together a
payment system similar to eBay’s Paypal. There are a few different ways
to sell your stuff online and eBay may be just another one of those
options.
At this time
Google Base is free to list your items for sale. There is a goal to
have a link from a Google Ad to link to the Google Base and if the sale
is completed there will be a commission paid to Google.
The cost for
marketing with Google is planned to undercut the eBay listing fees and
final fees. If you are not using the complete service I believe it
could still be free. While there are other auction sites out there
like, Yahoo Auctions and Overstock.com Google has a good chance of
getting people to use the service because the service at this time is
free.
Another competitor
to eBay is Craigslist.com. This website has free ads except for job
listing ads. The nice part to Craigslist is that the ads are focused on
local area. It makes it more like a regular classified advertisement.
Another website to
consider for selling your stuff is on recycler.com. Recycler is a
newspaper sold in major cities across the country. If you are not a
business it is free to list your ad. It will be printed in a newspaper
as well as on the internet.
Pennysaver is a
freely distributed newspaper ad that is available in many areas. The ad
is free if the item for sale is listed at under $100.
These are just
some of the other methods that you could advertise your products or
items for sale. Google Base is worth a try because of the future
potential it offers. If you have a commerce website already set up you
can submit your items in Froogle. If you can get your item in Froogle
it will help build traffic for free without paying for advertising.
