Hello,

We are just seriously getting into selling on ebay & would like to
know what forums are out there for ebay sellers.  Forums seem to be
the best place to learn, and I have been having trouble finding any
good forums for ebay sellers.  I have found auctionbytes.com & that is
about it.

Greetings sgwilton!

I would first check out the "eBay Outlook" forum on Vendio (formerly
AuctionWatch).  I have posted there before (I too am an ebay seller)
and have received some great help.  I've also learned a lot just by
reading the threads.  If you skim the thread topics some of them might
sound a bit goofy, but there are many serious sellers there.  And it's
a fairly active board - many new messages are posted each day:
"Vendio's eBay Outlook message forum":
http://www.vendio.com/mesg/list.html?num=2

The Online Traders Web Alliance also has an active eBay-related forum.
"Online Traders Web Alliance eBay Forum":
http://community.otwa.com/3/OpenTopic?a=frm&s=386293084&f=200299906

Also, I don't know if you have looked at eBay's own forums yet but
some of them may be helpful:
"eBay's Community boards":
http://pages.ebay.com/community/boards/index.html

Somewhat related, here are many good links from the Online Auction
Users Association:
"Auction-Related Links:"
http://www.auctionusers.org/links.shtml

There are some other forum sites here and there (such as the ones at
MyAuctionFriends.com: 
http://myauctionfriends.com/forums2/index.php?s=cbedf18a36e0a4f8fffa4303fb0c2d76&act=idx
) but they just don't have the message traffic that forums like the
one at Vendio do.

If you don't think the above forums are helpful, please request a
Clarification of my answer before issuing a rating and I would be
happy to further research your question.   Also, if possible, please
indicate the type of item you are selling  (wholesale, antiques,
etc.), whether or not you are or will be a Power Seller, and any other
info that may help locate a more ideal forum for you.

I hope this information is helpful.  Thanks!  And good luck with the
eBay selling...
