New auction site, up yours E-Bay Options

[Tango]

Whilst we were at the big game at the weekend i was handed a flyer for a auction site just for paintball stuff, and as many of you already know E-BAY no longer allows markers to be advertised but this site does. Although at the moment there isnt a lot of stuff on there but that could be that nobody knows about the site. give it a look.

Hi there

I am one of the founders of MarkerMart.

As you are aware eBay no longer allows the listings of Markers and as a result a small group of us came up with the idea to form an auction website site purely for paintball equipment.

We are a group of paintballers who over the years used eBay to trade our kit like many of you have and thought we could offfer a more dedicated service to the paintball community.

The site was never setup the site with the intention of being the next eBay. Unlike eBay we do not charge any fee should you sell your item we only ask for a small charge for listing your item this is to cover our costs.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask them or visit our site.

I've already bought my 6Pak and a Splatmaster from Markermart- very easy to use and efficient. I paid by PayPal both times and had zero problems. The only thing is that with the site being quite new a lot of sellers have zero feedback, but you can email them easily enough. A5's for £149!!! and lots of other bargains both new and s/h

Thanks for your input.

As you quite rightly say the user feedback being so low may affect peoples confidence.

Unfortuneately it is very much a catch 22 situation, no purchases=low feedback=low purchases.

We really appreciate constructive comments like yours and it also goes a long way to address the feedback issue.

Thanks again!

I really wished I had sold my Evo on Markermart rather than selling it to Polo, who seem to have disappeared, along with the outstanding balance of £50.

Paypal he is not.

Your mate he is
