Bidville

Bidville (www.bidville.com) doesn't charge insertion fees, but sellers can buy various listing enhancements, like highlighting or being featured on a category page. Final value fees (here called Final Success Fees or FSFs) begin at five percent and use a sliding scale.

Every day, Bidville's computers choose six sellers at random to list as Featured Sellers on the Bidville main page. To become a Featured Seller, you need to have at least 50 active auctions running (plus a little luck).

Bidders can't retract their bids on this site, so if you're shopping, think before you click.
