Half Price or Less
December 27th 2006 17:06
I was surprised to come across Half.com recently. This is a site ebay bought years ago, and at some point, said they were closing down.
Apparently not. The site has a cozy home page interface, like ebay.
Though the coziness is less apparent when things don’t behave according to auction protocol. ebay is enormous, and the rules seem to change on certain areas every 6 months. I must mention the horrors of trying to deal only online with customer service.
You may get someone helpful and knowledgeable, or not. I’ve experienced both. And no telephone customer service is available at ebay corporate - I tried. Odd, for such an otherwise well-managed company, don’t you think?
Anyway, half.com has a lot in common with Amazon’s auction site, which I used in years past for selling some items. And a nice shipping allowance for various items. After five minutes I couldn’t find the page describing fees, though the home page says there are no listing fees. That’s good. I think, if you’re interested, you’ll want to check out the help page. Right now, half.com is only available in the States. For international, they recommend (surprise) ebay.
Happy buying and selling.
