Upillar.com vs eBay, Craigslist, uBid, eBid, Sell and others

Upillar.com recently received a ton of advertisement for free when talk show host Glenn Beck announced for a week or so that he was putting his items on upillar.com to sell for charity.
When I heard this, I immediately went to upillar.com and signed up! This FREE classified selling site is the best thing to come along since Craigslist. There are no fees to sell, no fees for posting, no fees for anything! It's just you selling, the buyer buying, you collecting the money and you shipping the item.
eBay could learn a thing or two about this site.

Some sites, such as eBid.net, have a weird fee schedule. I've been a member for 4 yrs but have never sold anything.
I have not signed up for ubid.com because they require a credit card number when registering.
Sell.com is like Craigslist and Upillar.com . The cost of your ad however, depends on which category you post it in. You can upgrade your membership and the cost of an ad can go down. Again for me, a weird fee schedule. But here recently, I see all their ads are free. So I'm guessing they weren't making the kind of money they wanted and just put everything as a free listing.

Another great site, at least one that I like, is iOffer.com . It's not an auction site. More like a bargaining site. You pay a modest fee when you sell an item. Otherwise, there are no fees and you can leave your item up for forever.

Do a search for online auction sites and you will get a plethora of lists. Some even rank the auction sites. Those that do, mostly do the top 10. Some will do a top 100.
By doing this search, I stumbled upon Webstore.com . Seems like a nice little place. I will be checking it out.

So will upillar.com be the next big thing? Some seem to think so. I know I do!
