Advantages: The best auction site

Disadvantages: are there any ?

I have been using QXL for around 6 months now. I started selling PC Games, and got very good responses and very good prices. The QXL site has been improving all the time - additions like LIVE auctions and the 'buy now' feature (enabling buyers to bid and win the auction immediately) have turned QXL into a class act.

The site is seemingly growing daily. There are great bargains to be had, particularly in the consumer electronics and telecommunications departments. For instance, at present the computer department has lots of 1 pound no reserve auctions for top of the range PCs ! These attract great interest, and the bidding is fierce.

The site itself is, in my opinion, fantastically laid out. It is clear, easy to understand and logically laid out. The actual auction tools are very powerful, and all of the standard definable settings are in place. I have never had any problems with any of my dealings with QXLers (And an effective rating system, allows people to see just how well you have conducted your transactions with other QXLers). All auctions proceed smoothly with maximum efficiency and speed.

The cost of every listing is 30p (although there are reductions for mass listings). QXL also takes a percentage 'success fee' on every successful auction - much like every other online auctioneer. These fees are deducted automatically each month from your bank account (details of which are given during your QXL registration process).

Having looked at EBAY, I feel that QXL is far superior - in both design and ease of use.

UPDATE :- QXL has recently started sending out a catalogue (through the post). This contains info on the best deals available on the site, and is fantastically laid out.
