What are the chances of AuctionWatch establishing its own auction site?
There are thousands of people out here that are totally fed up with eBay's responses to fraud, shill bidding, and other abuses on their site and have quit their site. There are many more who only stick with eBay because they are the biggest market area, but who would leave if there was an alternative. Just check out the forums on Ebay, which are probably only the tip of the iceberg as many people don't bother to leave comments.
I believe 2 statements can best describe eBay's nonresponsive attitude:
"The Root of All Evil is the Love of Money" (how can one expect anything more from a site who's sole purpose is to worship money).
"Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" (asside from a few law suits, there have apparently been no figures of authority to enforce changes on eBay, so one can not expect anything to change).
I certainly understand AuctionWatch is a business that exists for generating money, but yet there are responsible business practices to follow to insure proper moral practices. Take ActionWatch for example -- ActionWatch must being doing something right (unlike eBay) as I have not yet viewed a single negative comment about AuctionWatch in a forum anywhere.
So how about it AuctionWatch? Start up a new auction service by combinding the best of eBay, Yahoo, Honesty, and of course AuctionWatch?!
(P.S. Don't sell out to eBay once it becomes sucessful)

Have been using AuctionWatch to track my auctions for some time now, many times (like presently), the counters do not work. Takes extra time to contact customer service to resolve problems and miss out on actual counting. In addition, several times I found another's auctions on my auction screen. Have switched to Honesty, but not happy with results there either. Anyone have any suggestions of another tracking company you've had success with?

Tobby, You are right about Ebay!! I feel the same way. But, AuctionWatch is down for repairs almost everyday! This no a good thing! I am, like you trying to run a business, but how can I when they are down for repairs so much? But we are caught, what are we suppose to do? AuctionWatch is better than those other companys, they offer more services, but at the same time, they are down alot, we have no choise but to stay! I would love to see Auction Watch become the next big Auction Company! If they can stay up and running!

I THINK AUCTIONWATCH IS BEING SABOTAGED BY SOME OF THE COMPANYS THAT CHARGE FOR THIS SRVICE. AUCTION WATCH IS THE BEST AUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICE OUT THERE AND THE OTHER COMPANYS THAT CHARGE A FEE TO USE THEM ARE TRYING TO GET US TO LEAVE AUCTIONWATCH WHEN THE ARE DOWN. I REALLY DON'T THINK IT IS AUCTIONWATCHS FAULT. JUST MY OPPINION.
