Watch out eBay (not really, at least not yet)

Want to buy a Mercedes C320 Sedan online or perhaps a six piece drum set? Well, you might want to head to SoldItLive.com. That's right -- eBay has a new competitor (as of April 3). And believe it or not, they're located right in Portland. To follow up their website launch earlier this month, SoldItLive.com, "the webs's hottest Online Auction and Virtual Marketplace site," just announced a new alliance with DropShipDesign.com. What does it all mean? They now have drop shipping services, which gives customers access to wholesale products, order fulfillment, order tracking, customer service, auction ad wizard, a customizable website solution.

This is a possible outgrowth of the tentative revolt of many eBay "power sellers" who are frustrated with rising fees, policy changes, added complexity, etc. Will it have an impact on the auction giant? Too soon to tell, but check out the news from SolditLive.com.
