449967 2006-04-27 09:00:00 Anyone moved from Trademe to Zillion?
Noticed that zillion got the Best new site award. wow good work, but are we really going to use there site instead of trademe even if zillion is alot better?
I signed up an account and tried selling on zillion, but there are way less questions asked, and heaps LESS bids on my auction, so i guess ill stay with trademe, lol since trademe sold everyone wants to be the next trademe! :dogeye:

449968 2006-04-27 09:05:00 Zillion will be fighting a tough battle. They will no doubt capture some market share...but whether that is enough to make the business profitable who knows.

One thing I do think - they are the only other NZ auction site (in my opinion) that have gone about it the right way. They aren't just a knock off site offering lower fees, they actually have features that are better than TM and a interface that is on par.

zillion has one good thing, a good design, every other trademe wannabe has always had crap designs/layout, hard to use etc. the one thing that keeps me using trademe is the pure chance that my product will sell. nothing more. if i want to get rid of something, ill use trademe, rather than piss around with a site that has 1/13th of the members of trademe

For the record we are not a clone of trademe.

Trademe are a auction site we are not we are classifieds. We dont charge, we didnt copy ebay. So how exactly are we a clone of trademe?

We created swapshop because we didnt like TM rules so we dont have those rules.

Swapshop was created in 2004 and is doing well, we have been in the press and dominion post.

We listen to our users, we create a site that is for users not to make money.

So exactly how are we a clone? Our site couldnt actually be any different from TM.

Keen to know .....

Sorry Greg why get personnal? Your user posted Swapshop.co.nz is a clone of Trademe and we defended it. But you made it personnal.

Not quite sure what you are saying but isnt that the point of a forum? We have merely defended who and what Swapshop.co.nz is. We are not a clone.

Keep it professional please.
