Just For You Auctions - New Auction Site


There's a new auction site on the block. If you love the action of auctions, this may be the site for you. It is called Just For You Auctions, J4UA - shortened version.

The site is very new so we do not know what to expect but here is some information directly from the site:

Brought to you by Former eBay Power Sellers.

Our Goal is to Bring the Fun back To the Auction Community, without The Hassle of Having someone tell you how to run your Business and a Fee Schedule that will Not Put you out of Business.

We will only be a Listing Venue and will not get between You and your Buyer or Seller. Finally No Middle Man telling you what you can and can not do. Consider this your New Website and Feel Free to put Links to Your Web Store or any Venue you sell in.
-----
Start from the ground up and help build a site that shoppers will congregate at. If you are concerned about anything on the site, contact the administration. They are willing to listen and consider a way to work out whatever it is that will work best for you.
