Auctioniva pays!!

As eBay raises their fees higher and higher, it's become tougher to sell and make a decent enough profit to make eBay worthwhile.
About 2 months ago, I found a site that offered a free promotional tool ofr my eBay listings. It promotes all of my listings and when used by a potential bidder, I earned money (much like a Paid To Click site, except bidders click and I earn!)
My frst payment was for only about 75 cents, so it really didn't prove much as far as if this company is reliable.
Well my second payout arrived today (5 days early...YAY!!!) andsince it was for more than $10, I thought I'd share this info with anyone who wasn't sure if this site was for real.
I'm convinced this tool has helped my auctions receive a few more bids and items that have gone unsold (some items went unsold 2 & 3 times) have not only been sold since using this tool, but some received 3 or 4 bids!
This site works, not only does it promote all of your listings, it's FREE and so very easy to use. And it PAYS!!
If you're struggling with the FEES at eBay, you might want to consider using this new tool!

Glad to hear this! Hopefully it is still paying as this discussion is old & I just started looking into this now despite how long ago I heard about it!
Thanks for the info,

Still works and I still receive a monthly payment into my Paypal from them! For a free site that offers a free tool to help me promote my auctions, it's pretty darn good.
But getting some money from them at the end of the month, makes them an excellent site! Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.
Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the information. I will have to check out the site. Since I decided to close my account with Etsy, I have done nothing with my crafts. A long time ago I did post one or two items on Craigslist but that didn't fly either. I need more "drive" in the crafts department to actually find other sites, such as you mention in this discussion, and see if I can sell a few things.
Thanks for sharing and much success,

Hi Carolbee!
I use Auctioniva in my listings and it does help a bit, but by no means will it pay for my ebay fees :)! I have found another site to sell items and it is in the early stages, but there is a section for crafts. There are ZERO listing fees and you can make money by adding items to their catalog. Here is the site/my referral link:

I think it's worth checking out.

I will have to look into this. Thanks for the info. I have been having a real dry spell on ebay. I hope this will help me also. Sometimes it just doesn't make a lot of sense on ebay why somethings get tons of veiws and tons of watchers and not one single bid.

I will let you know. I am working on a fairy baby right now but don't think I will have anything done much before next week. The baby is pretty much slow work but it has a whole lot to it. I hope to have the baby fairy done and a teddy bear and possibly another sculpt or maybe a wooden sign (the wooden signs are a new project for me). Anyway I will let you know.

If you don't mind me asking but what do you sell on ebay? I was just wondering, because I don't think you ever said. I don't sell anything on there, I'm just a buyer, but its good that you found a place that works better for you...Have a good day

I actually don't sell too much on eBay, but my hubby sells some sports memorabilia and we also look for the hot holiday items (toys, electronics, etc) to sell on eBay.
Every once in a while, I'll sell a few craft supplies on eBay, usually a surplus item I've purchased a lot of.
Thanks, it really has made a difference in the items that we've sold recently (and we usually don't sell all that much at his time of the yr, but we've increased the amount of listings, at least for now)
Thanks for responding!

Will good thing I read most of this discussion. Now I don't need to ask you if you still like the auction site. I am so fit up with ebay that I have not sold anything there for a few years. I have a few items I do want to list but hate the thoughts of supporting a company that just kept raising those fees for there own gain. The billions they earned each year was not enough! Do you suppose ebay bought Auctioniva out? They say everyone is for sale? Do you think that is a true statement?

I know this is old news, but for the record, auctioniva.com just up and disappeared and stopped answering emails. Their widgets disappeared from thousands of ebay listings without warning and lots of people did not get paid, including me. And it's funny how I'm the only one in the world reporting this stuff. Auctioniva were a bunch of incompetent crooks and should have had to answer to people but never did.

For the record, Auctioniva up and disappeared. Their widget disappeared from thousands of ebay listings, their site disappeared, they stopped answering emails and no one got paid what they were owed. They should be made to answer for their incomptence and their crimes, but got off scott free.

Yes, they did just up and disappear. And they waited until the last day of the month before payouts were due to make their get-away. From what I recall, it was going to be my biggest earning month from them...and what irks me the most, is they stayed online as long as they possible could, making money each day & already knew they would disappear from the internet without a word.
Unfortunately, that is the way it is with earning money online...companies can be here today and gone tomorrow. (and it's why I request earnings as soon as I hit the minimum payout with some sites)
