New auction style website

[Woosty]

Hi all, please have a look at my new website when you have a minute and please offer any ideas or tell me about any problems!

 

https://www.airsoftexchange.net

 

This is (afaik) the only auction style Airsoft site for the UK but you can also buy and sell as normal without using the auction feature.

 

The big different to the famous online auction site is that you won’t get sniped (pun intended) at the last minute as if a bid is placed within the last 30s, the timer will add on another 2mins so everyone should get a fair price and chance.

 

Please contact me via the site with any ideas for improvements you would like to see.

Social media releases coming soon as well.

 

Please share with as many people as you can as that is the only way that the site will gain traction 

 

Thanks all and I hope you have a good weekend of airsofting planned!

Hard to trust a site when the owner does not seem to grasp how and why a Forum exists.

Hint - its not to post an add, have zero participation and then fuck off

12.9% fee for using this new website, 2.9% fee from PayPal, then postage on top

 

So if I sell a pew via your website for say... £200, I then receive £174.20 from your fees, PayPal takes their fee which leaves me with £169.15. Postage on top would vary, but for sake of argument lets say it's an AR sent 48 Hour tracked, that's another £11.10

 

So from £200 to £158.05 selling via your new website, whereas I could avoid the 12.9% fee (Which is a large chunk, lets be real) by selling it on here/prefired/usedairsoft and end up with £183.10 once it's posted and PayPal fees are taken out...?

 

The same math but the replica is £1000, you cap the 12.9% fee to £75 so it leaves me with £925. Minus PayPal fee gives me £898.18 then postage off leaves me with £887.08 selling via your site. Same math but selling via the other established selling sites leaves me with £959.90 after fees and postage. That's just over £70 difference from selling privately via your website

 

So what else do you offer other than an auction feature that selling privately via UsedAirsoft/Prefired doesn't already do? AFUK has more than just classifieds so it can't exactly be lumped in with the other two but even then AFUK has profile feedback/offers and messaging
