The only “friendly” place I have found is
The owners are a man/wife in New Jersey, they personally work with
vendors, we have a chat session on the forum every Thursday evening,
and they are present and participate. BTW, I have been ebay, etsy and
artfire; left all of them.

That stinks what happened to you. I don’t personally like Ebays
policies but out of 340 transactions I’ve only had one bad
transaction. Maybe it’s luck but I think it normally works well for
sellers. I agree that their policies are terrible but if you plan
well you can make things work. (like always keeping copies of mail
receipts and tracking numbers).
I even purchase things on German Ebay (and sold to Italy) and never
had one problems with that. You have to create a good wireless money
transfer account like with XE Trade because they normally don’t use
Pay Pal. And wirelessly transferring money is much cheaper with
international banking than witha U. S. bank. (just like everything
else).

Ebay allows the selling of stolen goods !! I had sent over $7,000
worth of peruvian goods on memo to a women who started to sell them
at far less thenwhat my price was nor what you could buy from
producers in Peru !! I notified and sent proof of registered mail.
inventory, pictures, etc of the stolen goods and ebay refused to do
anything nor did the police do anything It was a “civil matter” The
police went to the persons business and stated to the police she
returned such to me but the police never asked for any proof she
returned anything to me as she never did !! Despite my proof of
emails between her and myself in which she claimed she had sold
goods, pictures on ebay, nothing was done. By the way the postal
inspectors do nothing about theft/fraud unless its over $100,000
dollars or there are many many many victims -ask them or your
congressman !!The cost of a civil suit was too much to go after as
civil courts wont allow attorney fees unless it is expressly stated
in invoices. Be carefull what you buy on ebay or dealing with ebay !!

John-Interesting-haven’t heard of them before. Do you know if they
are actually selling anything, or are advertising or plan to in
order to increase awareness of the site? Have you had any success
with them–and in what price range? One of the problems with Bonanza
is the lack of advertising. Thanks for the info
