Life after Ebay....
I called my powerseller rep today and told her that despite the fact that my DSR and other factors were well above the new Ebay limits coming down the pipe, that the continued incursions by Ebay and Paypal into private business has me requesting my accounts with both entities be closed.
So we have moved our stamps and coins to a new site which allows Google payments and are looking for a different place to auction and sell cards.
I wish this site had storefronts but since they don't I see three options
#1 Beckett
#2 Sportsbuy
#3 Sportslots
Opinions on the three? I sold on average 500 stamp/coin items a month on Ebay and 25-50 card items but I am looking to get more into selling the cards there.
I do have a moneybookers account and could post the listings here but I am not sure how many folks here use it since it is somewhat new to the USA as a regular payment service.
I will not go back to Ebay so spare me the doom and gloom about how it is the be all and end all because I know from the coin/stamp perspective that isn't true. If the product and customer service is good enough it will sell anywhere.

www.checkoutmycards.com is also a great site for selling cards. Take a look and see what you think.

The site looks good but not sure about the traffic level there.

COMC just made a deal with Blowoutcards.com, so the traffic should go up!

Right now I am only interested in exploring the 3 sites mentioned above. I have sold some stuff on Sportsbuy/Naxcom in the past but it has been awhile.

Check into onlineauction.com. Not a ton of traffic or cards, but it's farily new. I've bought a few cards and autos there, never tried to sell anything.

NAXCOM/Sportsbuy is good. Our storefronts are being worked on still ;\

Well count me on board if this site decides to open them.
Hopefully there will be a way to integrate google checkout into them since I won't be using Paypal anymore.

I'm not sure if anything will be specifically integrated or not. I'd have to look at that, but how is Google checkouts? I've never used it...is it similar to PayPal where you have an account and it holds your cash for you? Less fees?

Both Google Checkout and Moneybookers are directly linked to your chosen bank account. They do not hold money. When a customer pays for an item the money goes into your bank account within a business day or two.
Moneybookers is very popular with buyers in Europe but is growing in the USA too.
