Sellmystuff Making a Big Impression.

Hi Everyone – we have received a terrific review from one of the contributors at the Power Sellers Unite Forum.  The following excerpt of the post is by kind permission of the user known as Purple Reading Giraffe.  You can see the full article and our response by going to this link –   http://www.powersellersunite.com/viewtopic.php?t=16316

Well, I finally went and visited www.SellMyStuff.com.au today, and I must say it is a very attractive and nicely designed site, with a different “take” on online selling than most of the sites I look at.

It is set up to work for anyone from a casual seller – $5 for 5 listings for 30 days, to a regular seller – $10 for 30 listings for 30 days, to a large business – $90/month for unlimited listings, all pay-in-advance, not auto-re-billed, and up/down-gradeable. They offer several “refinements” like pay-now, and shop fronts – more at higher levels. All personal contact is allowed/encouraged as are links to ones own website and shopping cart. Listings can be removed/added at any time within the total. They also offer ebay import. There are no other fees that I saw.

A buyer can search by keywords (both in title or description) and location, browse shops or by categories, and sign up for email alerts for new listings matching a search.

Google has 8000+ pages indexed for this site, and their page Titles, URLs, and Descriptions appear to be designed very well for SEO to my eyes. Unfortunately, they do not also appear to be feeding to Google Products, though I do not know how much this might matter in Australia, as Google.com.au (like Google.ca) provides no direct Shopping link on that page.

I only regret that I did not look at this site sooner (mostly because of the country limitation). I wish you the best of luck with your growth.

So we must say many thanks to the Purple Reading Giraffe and other kind souls who have made very positive comments about our site. We have a lot of support in Australia and the ranks keep telling us “Go Forward and Have Faith – You are Heading in the Right Direction”.

Recent sales that we know of – Art Work, Curtains, Baby Stuff, Pizza Slicers, Pandora Charms, Portable DVD Players, Wine, VOIP Phones, Computer Stuff, Toys, Games, Clothes – in fact we know people who have sold everything in their house and that is a testament to a site that is working and is now proven.

International sellers – Yes or No?

One of the current topics is whether we should open the site up to international users. We have received a substantial number of requests from the U.S.A and Hong Kong asking if they can be permitted to sell and buy on the site.

We are open to the idea however the opinion of our users will inevitably make the decision for us.

Please use this blog to have your say and help us decide whether international sellers and buyers would be a good or bad thing for our current users.
