    One advantage epay has always had over the trading post is once an item is sold, it is instantly marked as such on the site.

    It is quite frustrating calling the phone number of a trading post listing to find the item has already been sold a day or so ago (

    One would hope a revitalisation of the trading post would fix this major PITA.

    Of course they can, they have revitalised crappy service into a fine artform over several iterations

    I supposed I must agree with that,
    I had a reasonable dialup connection until the liney's came and did some lines work. after that dialup didn't work reliably

    I reckon Telstra site is the slowest site on the net so I don't think it is going to speed up in the near future. It has too much crap going on. You would think with the resources they have it would be the fastest around. Bigpond is no better.

    They could whack all the trading posts in straight away and have such a huge range of things for sale that buyers will naturally come.

    Trouble is I reckon telstra and ebay both have questionable ethics at least in my mind.
    Are you accusing Telstra of having ethics?

    If they do the same job on their Epay killer as they did on Trading Post and Whereis, then I think I'll stay with Epay.

    Anyway, like you said it would be like jumping from the frypan in to the fire!

    Do you get the idea I don't like Telstra?

    Hmmm I don't have great expectations of the trading post site.

    If the way the existing trading post has gone is any indication it will be geared to commercial advertising and in particular cars boats & bikes.

    I can remember when music and soun in the bris trading post went 4 pages.......its a bumper day now if it goes more than 2 collumns


    I tried to list something in the trading post some time ago and the form was so finiky after it comming back 4 or 5 times not accepted I just gave up.

    the sensis division of telstra is so out of touch and sales focused rather than customer focused i have no positive expectations of any of their products.

    looks like it might be worth sticking some stuff up on oztion to see if it goes.

    my listings on ebay are very slow.... like down 3/4 on my expectations.

    I think a lot of my potential buyers do not have pay pal.

    cheers
