I have used this a couple of times and have had good and bad experiences. I have had a beautiful dress sent to me on time and I have had other sellers not get back to me after I paid for a month! Its a bit risky as Paypal is not required so if ou send a money order you may not get your item. Its good to check the sellers feedback but as anyting online without buyers protection, be cautious...I see a lot of potential though. Might visit it again soon.
Ooh what can me say, this is the best online market place! eBay sucks they are too strict and the charge too much, whilst quicksales is the best!,, my hommyG's!!!
It's a bit hard to rate a website when in fact your experiences are mainly with the sellers and buyers .
The website itself is still having unexpected technical issues which are never brought to notice or if they are it's after the issues seem to be resolved leaving a lot of members wasting their time trying to work on their listings and buyers are frustrated why they are having such difficulties purchasing something when they get constant error pages.
So I wouldn't rate the website itself very high . A more professional approach to their website building needs to happen asap .
Advertising is being stepped up but frankly I reckon it's way too late , they have let the site slide over the years and that's not something you can pull back up from easily.
Sellers and Buyers wise , I rate them both similar to eBay . You get the good with the bad .
Fees are excellent , but without buyers it means very little .
Staff are helpful and unlike eBay quite approachable and will assist members .
I've been selling on Quicksales for a number of years. The site is easy to use, and allows the seller to leave their items listed without any extra charges, and the final value fee is very acceptable. Sales are probably a little slower, but it's good to list without incurring all those extra costs.
From a buying point of view there are quite a few bargains to be had.
Quicksales is definitely worth checking out.
thanks for sharing, I have never heard of this website!
Have used this site many times not as much as eBay but still a good alternative if you are looking for a bargain,Their fees are cheaper than eBay too,
I joined QS in 2006 when it was called OZtion and have been pleasantly surprised by the amazing customer service and growth of this site. I list up on here every day for free and the only fee you pay is when your item sells. I have sold 2484 items or lots on the site. People may complain that the site is slow but it costs nothing and I find that the more you list, the more you sell i.e. having almost 600 listings at any given time helps me sell a lot as I offer combined postage. Amazing bargains are to be had when buying as there is rarely a bidding war.
I have used this website a number of times, it is great to know that there are other websites out there other than just ebay so one can really compare prices and widen one's search to get the best value for money.
I have both bought and sold on oztion many times and have always had a good experience.I find their fees to be a lot more reasonable than some other sites
recently I got an email from OZtion saying they are changing their name to quicksales.com.au
Albeit I haven't used OZtion as much as I have eBay it is a great alternative. Bring on competition I say!
A great alternative to eBay, more of a community. This site is more like an online 2nd hand store. Still plenty of brand new items to be found but sellers put their own price on things. You can make an offer, if it's reasonable it is likely to get accepted. You won't find as many bargains on here like you can find on eBay but it is Aussies who are selling!
I like shopping at OZTION as an alternative to eBay. Not as many sellers, but also not as many buyers so there's less chance of being outbidded at the last moment.
I did not like this site at all, i thought it was a rip off of ebay, i was disgusted with how they treated there sellers and buyers, they have a reasonable range of products. but it was a rare disappointment for me.
I have always have a great time on oZtion!! The sellers are always honest and reliable. A problem is easily fixed with communication. The items are easy to purchase, I love the 'offer' section and the delivery - well these are great sellers so deliveries havent been a problem . I like to way that oZtion checks the info given like varifying phone numbers etc. Great that the postage is clear to see and an all up price is shown at all times
Approximate cost: $50 last one $159 happy as I wasnt worried about not getting the item !
Oztion is easy to use and better than ebay, good quality items, fair prices. Heaps of categories, works the same as ebay but the people are much more friendlier.
Approximate cost: $1.00
Really good site! Quite a bit like eBay...but more realistic in the prices :D
LOVE this website! It sells imitations as I cannot afford the real deal. There is no problems with P&H with previous sellers I have come across. You can always find a good bargain on Oztion
Have brought quite a few different things from here
No problems with postage or getting my article well except once but not the fault of oztion though just the scammer that was on the site but they did try for me so i hold no blame to them just should of checked the ip address of sender.
otherwise good place to get what you want
Approximate cost: $10.00
I really love this site and have bought many items from it,.I also look up free postage items.
Also Oztion makes it so that sellers have to give you realistic shipping charges. Ebay on the other hand allows sellers to have a monopoly on how much they charge for shipping and is extremely frustrating for all shoppers as most sellers do charge way too much for shipping
I really love this site and have bought many items from it. On some items I safe on postage by being able to pick up however most of my sellers have been genuine in their postal costs when I am not able to do so. With many sites I have become a repeat buyer.I recommend this site all the time and people are very appreciative that I have informed them of it. For any items I chose to buy in other states I always find out what bank I will have to deposit my payment into as some banks in other states don't exist in Queensland and therefore the additional cost of a money order and stamp is involved.I also look up free postage items.
Absolutely amazing! Where Ebay will charge you listing fees if you don't even manage to sell your item, Oztion will only charge you if you manage to sell your item and they give you lots of freebies in their free listing options such as multiple pictures, Ebay charges for some of the things that Oztion give you for free making them the ideal place to sell stuff. No sell, no pay and you can't beat that! So glad I discovered Oztion as I do sell rare video games that don't always sell, leaving me with no fees to pay, unlike ebay.
Also Oztion makes it so that sellers have to give you realistic shipping charges. Ebay on the other hand allows sellers to have a monopoly on how much they charge for shipping and is extremely frustrating for all shoppers as most sellers do charge way too much for shipping.
Another great thing about Oztion is the fact you don't need a bloody paypal account to collect or to make a payment. This too saves money and gives greater flexibility if you prefer money orders or straight up bank deposits not done through a third party.
While its true that Ebay still has more in the way of items for sale, thats because they have been around alot longer. According to Wiki, Oztion has only been around for close to 5 years now and already have over 400,000 aussie members. So yes, they're growing very fast and lets hope they can force Ebay to be more competitive with the fees and charges.
Oztions site is so dam slow, Sellers are always complaing about no sales.
Most of Oztion's sellers have been booted from ebay and can start up again on Oztion.
The has a lot of single mothers earning a living sell junk at over the top prices and advoiding declaring their income.
Yes the fees are cheaper to list on Oztion but very little get sold.
A good point is there v-shops @$5.00 per month and the option of having a sale when ever you want.
Oztion members numbers are so far out they are fausle. Go thru 100 members and more than 60% have only brought a few things and have not used their accounts since.
a ebay seller.
Seller's on the Web page Call all the Shot's, When you as a Buyer have no say. Some item's don't get sent to you and some item's arrive in a poor condiction.
Online shopping store retailers and everyday customers. I hated using it as a customer buyer or seller. Too complicated, need a lot of development. To difficult ti ID yourself to start selling, once you get started then it is too difficult to sell. I never sold or listed anything yet they are chasing me for fees.
pretty good, the prices are cheaper than retail, though not very low. you have to be over 18. annoying but not unusual. The website layout is pretty good and there are lots of items for sale.
oztion great website for selling less scammers on there always receive my items buy cheaper of there than ebay fees are lot cheaper on oztion to sell highly reccommend this site
As a seller, I prefer this site to ebay as the selling fees are cheaper - it's free to list so you only pay final valuation fees. As a buyer, I prefer this site as you can buy things cheaper since sellers are saving on fees.
Unfortunately it doesn't get as many buyers or sellers as ebay.
I really like the way they set up this auction site, you can put up 3 photos for free, list for free, and keep having it automatically relisted which saves a lot of your time. I have recently started my listing again after a break and its very slow, but hoping it would pick up as i would like to see this site grow as they really take care of their sellers and buyers more than other auction sites!
Just LOVE this auction site, so happy I stumbled on it, sell on here every day. Listings are initially free and then only 2 c per sixty days. Great customer service and support, personalised replies, will not go back to eBay like before!
Approximate cost: $100
Not as great as ebay.. if you wanta nd need listings exposure but a solid base nontheless. Have been using this service for several years and its slowly getting bigger and more well known
Great alternative to eBay. I've sold many of the unneeded items around the house with them. No listing fees for basic listings, and even the final fees are very cheap in retrospect to eBay. Only price you pay is the lower consumer base.
Great site to find bargain items. People sell thing in oztion much cheaper than on ebay, because oztion do nt charge for listing fee. It is great for seller too.
