Alternative to EBay? WonderProfits.com New Auction Site - Business Wholesale Distributor Products Forum

07-12-2006, 08:17 AM

Hello everyone,

I am part of a team who is launching a new auction site at http://www.wonderprofits.com Currently we have no listing fees, and a signup bonus which is likely to start out at $15-$25 and slowly drop off as we gain more members and more traffic.

But that's just the boring stuff! As part of our launch I have been authorised to giveaway a huge chunk of free account credits.
New members who join http://www.wonderprofits.com and let us know where and how they are promoting it can get up to $200 in account credits! (Dependant on quality of traffic, type of promotion, and location of promotion ie where you are promoting it.)
New sellers listing items outside of the PTC arena can qualify for up to $50 account credits simply for listing their auctions! (Depends on the quality of products, number of auctions, and quality of auctions.)

Account credit can only be used for payment of additional services such as opening a store, featured auctions or closing fees. Account credit cannot be cashed out, nor can it be transferred to another user as a form of payment.

So come along to http://www.wonderprofits.com and signup today.
If you are a seller and we do not have a category for your product(s) simply jump on the contact link and we will do our best to accomodate your auctions. Every seller who suggests a category and lists their first auction in there will get a $5 account credit.

Open a medium or Large store and regularly use it, listing items and promoting your auctions and after 3 mths we will add the cost of your store for those 3 months into your account as credits so you get the whole 3 months FREE!

Site launches in approx 12-24 hrs so signup now, and submit your new categories today. Contact either via the contact link onsite or feel free to PM me with any category suggestions, notification of promotion etc etc, do not forget to include your username on http://www.wonderprofits.com for the account credit.

Extra note to admins and/or mods. If this has been posted in the wrong section please feel free to move it, I did look around, but this seemed the most appropriate?
Thank you,
WonderProfits.

google page rank: 0
yahoo search results for auction site: not in first 30 listed
search results for wonder profits: 5th (below unrelated sites)

nice site though, like the artwork. dont really see anyone buying anything on a site labeled "profits", does not really make the consumer feel like they are getting a deal.

Hi everyone, I do apologise for the delay in replying, it seems I did not set it up to email me for replies.

To both jeffblazeid and [b/BW[/b]

You are correct the site is brand new, I did state that in my first post and I apologise if I didnt make that clear enough.
the site has been submitted to google, along with several other search engines, as you all know it takes a little time to get listed.
We are getting a good amount of traffic, and so far averaging around 10 new users and auctions listed per day.

As for the domain name, I could understand yoru concerns regarding the 'profits' part of it, although if you look at it as a consumer getting a $100 product for only a fraction of the full price wouldnt that be considered a profit to the consumer also? as in they have extra money for something else.
There have been many bids placed on various auctions listed, so some consumers are obviously not concerned by the domain name.

As for sellers All of the risk is on us for your listings with the signup bonus, so if you list an item (or items) and they do not sell then you lose no money, the signup bonus may be used for featured listings, bold listing etc etc and also selling fees, for a standard auction there is no listing fees Which means no risk to sellers wanting to try the site out.

And BW]
I am not entirely certain what you did mean by "100% this site is new less than a month. how can a site make profit less than a month. you should know what i mean here."
We dont expect to make a profit from the site for many months yet, as funds come in most of it will be used for more promotion of the site.

We are also having a small promotion at the moment whereby if a user deposits funds into their auction account they get doule credits ie a $10 deposits nets $20 into their account.
