		<description>I had one website with this service, I used their search tool to see if i could list electronic cigarettes, i saw other listings, so i went ahead and listed mine. The site layout is pretty crappy.

The moderators aren&#039;t really moderators, they&#039;re other sellers &quot;volunteering&quot; to keep the site clean, which is total bs, because if you need help your basing it off of someone else who might not even know what they&#039;re talking about. 

I grade this site 1 out of 10, ecrater is the worst of the worst, no support at all, and their TOS (terms of service) says no electronic cigarettes are allowed and i had batteries and atomizers posted, it says and i quote &quot;Tobacco, cigars for smoking, cartridges for e-cigarettes and e-liquid&quot; so basically, anything even remotely related to a product they don&#039;t allow will get your store banned.

So basically since tobacco products aren&#039;t allowed anything tobacco related will be banned to, maybe even a malboro keychain, or antique container, the site is retarded and they ban for illegitimate reasons. I reccomend x10 hosting, free hositng with softaculous which you can install any kind of eccomerce engine with.

So all in all if you decide to use this service, every post has a chance of getting you banned, it&#039;s like walking on broken glass, no matter which way you go.</description>

		<description>I am glad to find all these reviews of the ecrater store.  I actually put a few things up in 2008, but only made one sale.  I never did any SEO, so I guess that is why I didn&#039;t get more business.  I actually forgot I had a store!  I was recently listening to a pod cast where they mentioned Ecrater and it reminded me that I had an account there.  I couldn&#039;t remember if there were any Final Value Fees, so I am glad to hear it&#039;s still free.  I am importing all my items from Ebay and waiting on them to be downloaded.  I have some listings that have pictures of my EBay store in the background of the picture.  Can anyone tell me if I need to replace those photos with clean photos?  I hope to refer my Ebay customers back to my ecrater store with a discount.  Thanks for all the input!

		<description>I have been selling hand dyed wool on eCrater for 1 1/2 years, and I am thrilled. My sales have tripled this year and I know will increase again next year, as I add products and market myself. But although the site is free, this doesn’t mean I (or anyone) can simply hang out a shingle and expect sales to come. It takes work, and some time spent doing SEO. It’s a jungle out there on the web, as every other person wants to sell online. I spent about six weeks devoting myself to SEO for my eCrater site, and now I appear on page one of a Google search for ‘hand dyed wool’, which is my main search term. And all I pay is the Paypal fee for each transaction. No domain host, no monthly upkeep, no listing fees. It’s wonderful! I will eventually have my own site, but in the meantime, I have gotten great exposure at eCrater and I can maintain my listings there even after I open my other site. Why not? It’s free!</description>

		<description>You know, not for nothing, but I have just recently started selling a small media inventory online and I find ebay to be EXTREMELY frustrating for the small operator!  I spent an hour the other day creating a listing for one item, thought I had completed it but it disappeared!  Meantime, Amazon is a clean 1-2-3 process.  I have already listed over 100 items there and sold about 50 in less than a month.  If the item already exists on Amazon you just click &quot;sell yours here&quot;.  Obvioiusly Amazon does have some draw backs but again I don&#039;t see where the population of ebay is coming from unless you are a big-time seller.  I&#039;m glad to see places like ecrater.  It will help alot (I believe as I have joined already) to make buyers understand the best way to get the best price on an item is to do a Google Products search which is obviously beneficial to ecrater sellers.  Thanks.</description>
