I personally believe that diversity is the number one key to success. If I didn't believe this, then I would only blog about one way to make money. I'm a former ebay power seller, or I should say "feebay". I used to make a decent income on there until a new CEO, John Donahoe, stepped up to the plate and started making some changes (some pretty ridiculous ones). I still had alot of inventory I purchased in wholesale bulk amounts, so I needed to get rid of it quickly and ebay just wasn't cutting it anymore. So I started looking for ebay competitors with a large amount of visitors and I came across many. One of them even had an ebay parody cartoon which I'm sure any disgruntled former ebay seller would find funny like I did. I was able to sell majority of my items pretty quickly on Craigslist and never really needed to resort to listing on the other sites I found, but I preferred to sell them locally so I wouldn't have to deal with shipping. if you are selling anything online, than this list may come in handy. If you are making profits one place, why not try more than one and see if you can double or triple your sales? Diversification is always a good idea.
Here's a list of selling sites like ebay. Majority of these alternatives to ebay are free to list:
