No Sale – No Seller Fees at Bidjit.com
Posted by News Writer on November 18, 2008
Bidjit.com has come out of beta testing and has launched its Live Auction platform through Proxibid. In addition to offering Live web-casting and static auctions, Bidjit.com now offers all sellers the opportunity to list their merchandise within its weekly live auction events.
“The writing is on the wall for the online auction market. If you want to excel in this market, you first have to prove yourself and offer up plenty of bells and whistles. We want appeal to both buyers and sellers and the best way to start that relationship is to offer free listings. If a seller takes the time to list their merchandise and the item does not sell, they do not pay any fees. If their item sells, within our timed auction format, we only expect a small transaction fee. In addition to offering timed (static) auctions, those who wish to place their merchandise into our live auction events may do so and will only pay a nominal transaction fee (and commission) if their item sells. We are offering a no risk partnership to all auction sellers, whether they sell through our static or live auction events” stated, Paul Fischer, COO of Bidjit.
Bidjit combines three areas for selling merchandise. They offer static auctions, live web-cast selling events and live auctions. Bidjit’s live web-cast events are broadcast on their homepage within the Fortuitous Finds box. “Our Fortuitous Finds box has a dual purpose. When it’s not broadcasting live broadcast events from our Tampa, Florida studios, it rotates newly listed items right on our homepage. In fact, our entire homepage is about selling our users merchandise” stated Fischer.
Can Bidjit compete in the current auction market? “I think there’s room for plenty of auction sites and those who offer the big bang without the buck, can make a go of it. The future is dependent upon the users and their decision to come into Bidjit and list their goods. Let’s face it, every site has a birthday and we’re just about to celebrate our first birthday. I think we’re in a position to make every day, week and month count toward a successful future, within a market that seeks calm, during turbulent times” stated Fischer.
