For most people looking to buy and sell something in an auction format on the internet, eBay is usually their first, and only stop. While it is true that eBay is the largest online auction site, there are plenty of sites like eBay that can actually work better for you, and can both get you a higher price, and get you better deals if you know where to look. There are many reasons why you, as a buyer or a seller, may not want to use eBay, chief among them seems to be the fees that the site charges, but some people are also concerned about overseas buyers and sellers, as well as the level of support they want in an auction site.

Ubid.com is different from your eBay time auction. It doesn't have users buying and selling. Instead you're buying from uBid's warehouse excess or from affiliates, they are good deals and you know you're getting authentic items which is great but you also aren't getting it from regular people. So you might not get those hidden gems but like I said at least you know it's authentic.
