Yabexe.com

Thank you for your interest in Yabexe.com, a new auction website created as an alternative to the high cost and risk of using eBay. Yabexe.com is open to all residents of the U.S. and Canada.

If you are an ex-ebay member, or want to be, then Yabexe is for you. Simply spell "ex ebay" backwards and you will find us. It's easy to remember! If you can't, please write it down on your palm so you don't forget. ;-)

We have been told that FeeBay will crush us - that we can't compete.

We agree to a point. We can't compete with their customer base, or their name recognition... yet.

HOWEVER, WE CAN COMPETE IN PRICING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!

If you are like us, you became disgusted with feeBay's confusing, obscene, and ever-changing fees. We also had enough of never being able to reach them, or receiving computer generated emails that didn't answer problems.

At Yabexe.com our customers are top priority!

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a technically solid medium for our members to promote and sell their products and services. Providing these services at a cost the end user can afford and passing those savings onto buyers. Thus allowing both the seller and the buyer a better shopping experience in a secure venue.

The Business Concept

The Internet is a very volatile and competitive business. We have seen a few auctions sites running free services. They quickly die, or are abandoned. To believe all services for free could be done indefinitely is a mistake made by inexperienced website administrators that do not intend to promote and advertise the website. These are expensive expenditures that must be done in order for a website to succeed and those websites that don't promote have been doomed from their conception.

To ensure we survive Yabexe.com did not begin as a totally free service. We put a great deal of thought into what services we could provide for free, what areas fees should be charged, and what the lowest cost could be that would allow us to use the proceeds from our service fees to advertise and build our brand name.

We will always strive to continue providing a low cost alternative to the biggest online auction site (and you know who that is). We will always include the one thing that site fails to do. We will treat the smallest seller with the same respect and advantages given to the largest seller. In fact, our website is geared toward those small sellers who have been driven away from eBay because of the fees and disadvantage they have imposed on the weekend warrior looking to make a few dollars from an old attic or garage item.

Goals

1 Year

Establish a superior auction site using feedback from our buyers and sellers.
Establish an extensive membership base of both buyers and sellers.
Establish an extensive product base to attract new members to Yabexe.com.

5 Year

Established as THE alternative auction website.
Established name recognition throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Unlike auction sites that invite users around the world and the scams that result, Yabexe.com is concentrating on the U.S. and Canada marketplace. Doing this allows for better monitoring, more security, verifying our membership, and a more localized, friendly community.

Yabexe.com has returned to the fundamentals of allowing users a choice in payment options. The auction can utilize checks, cash, money orders, credit cards, or PayPal for transactions between buyer and seller. The processing options are chosen by the seller at the time of listing. Currently, PayPal is still the only processor of instant online payment exchanges on Yabexe.com. All other payment methods are conducted offline.

We have the best software installed to make buying and selling simple, honest, and enjoyable.

The way it used to be!

We will continue to upgrade our technology to provide you with more than we have now, like:

Anti-Sniping Technology:

For the buyer, this means no more losing an auction at the last second because of automated systems or those with faster computer connections bidding against you.
For the seller, your auction will not end for an amount you believe could have been better if more time was given to a slower bidder. Your auction will not end until 2 minutes after the last bid!!

256-bit Encryption

When you submit personal information it is encrypted through a certified SSL provider we have installed from GoDaddy, a leading name in the website business. Your information is safe with us!

Online Support

Though we are not always available due to other commitments (or need for sleep), when someone is available you will be able to contact us through our private support chat feature. When someone is online the green "Online Support" banner, located on our website header, will indicate the status of support available. You don't see that offered on feeBay!

Everyone Starts Fresh!

No importing feedback from FeeBay. Too many sites offering a head start to seasoned people. If you are a great seller or buyer, it will quickly be evident here. It's a level playing field which means everyone has the same opportunities to compete when selling or bidding. Trust starts here!

Deadbeat Bidder IP Blocking:

We have a "1 Strike and Out!" Policy. When a bidder becomes a deadbeat and refuses to pay, we block their ISP Address. Which means not only can they not bid anymore, they won't even be able to view the website on their computer!

Deadbeat Seller Blocking

This "1 Strike and Out!" applies to sellers, as well. If it is determined that they have stolen funds from a buyer and don't answer our inquiries toward resolution, they are out - permanently. In fact, unlike eBay, we won't hesitate to assist law enforcement if the complaint is criminal.

No Shills

We will know if a user attempts to create a second account. We receive notification through our system if a buyer is performing suspicious activity with the same seller, such as many bids on varying items with a low percentage of wins. This often indicates a friend or relative is bidding in order to run up the price of the item. We monitor them when notification is received and will take action if circumstantial evidence indicates our suspicions are founded.

No Freemail Accounts

Free email accounts are known to be used by scammers and for your own computer safety you should never use one. Viruses and trojans are often delivered through security lapses on free email programs. Do Not register with a free email account! Currently, we have numerous free email networks blocked. New ones pop up, but as we become aware of them they are removed. Those who registered with them are removed, as well. If you are registered with a free email account, please change it to your primary now! We would hate to lose you. The only free email account we will allow is Yahoo, due to security measures they have in place.

We are confident that you will find Yabexe.com a far more enjoyable and profitable experience than you could possibly hope for with feeBay!
