It's been a flurry of activity since I launched the eBay alternative ning just a few days ago.

Launch of eBay Alternative for Antiques / Vintage Sellers

Welcome! If you're here, then chances are you are spending some time and effort searching for another selling venue for your antiques, collectibles, artwork or vintage items following what most of us have deemed as "anti-seller" changes on eBay. Take heart, you're not alone.
