I am looking at expanding the fleet. Was wondering, now that it has been a few months since some sellers have taken different avenues to move goods, any pros & cons about iOffer. That MR GRABBER feature looks "cool"....close 6,000 items on eBay and move to iOffer with one click?! Does it support the VENDIO photos and templates on transfer?

I was on ioffer until they changed their server over a holiday (Christmas before last). Thus destroying holiday sales and messing up the stores REALLY badly.
Mr. Grabber is sketchy. It may import duplicates, it did on me. It also imports closed listings so you can end up trying to sell something on ioffer that has already been sold. My templates were not a good fit for ioffer because I use my vendio store as a template. It works better if you have a plain template.
During the changeover iOffer was very unresponsive to those of us who had been there many years. They banned some folks who did not get the chance to grab their ioffer pages and those folks were very upset. Those old threads are on the power sellers unite site. You might want to read them.
The site used to be slow to load and had a lot of Chinese selling fake purses. I really don't know anymore.
You could always open your vendio store and all your ebay items will be automatically trasferred there.

Rather "park" them somewhere that DOESN"T charge for parking. Free public parking is 100% better then paying for parking in a Self(ish) storage unit company.

If you have the time to park the same item on every free site,more power to you!

iOffer is a great place to find fake Coach bags.
There's an eBay seller who has been hawking fake Carly handbags for well over a year. She buys 'em on iOffer from the lads in China. As far as I can tell, her cost is about $40 a bag. She gets $300+ for each on eBay. You do the math.
I really admire the serendipitous touches in her auctions, like the picture of the receipt that "proves" she bought several bags from Coach and her disclaimer that unless you buy it quickly someone else will get the receipt since she only has the original.
Naturally no one ever does.
But the best is the feedback, all variations on "I took this to a Coach store and the sales clerk verified it is genuine! Thanks!"
No one ever seems to snap to the fact that she sells the same five models of handbags over and over and over. And if she were actually buying them at retail she'd have lost thousands by now.
I think we can expect Coach to be one of the next companies suing eBay. What I don't get is why they don't go after iOffer.

Why sue Ioffer,it does not have millions,so why waste time suing Ioffer or Epier or AOL?
