what exactly would it take to start a new auction site similar to ebay,but with more security?
I know that funds are an obvious issue,but I want to know what some of the other steps would be.this is something I have been pondering for a while now and I believe that I am at least going to research what it will take and see if it is something I and others could bring about.I know the market is there as there are literally thousands who love ebay but have been put off by some of there protocols,I believe buyers would come instantly with the right amount of advertising,is this a pipe dream?or is it something that anyone with the right amount of perseverance could do?
I welcome any opinions and would greatly appreciate any technical info etc.
it has been on my mind and I think its time for ebay to finally have a little competition in the internet auction realm.
thanks in advance,
steve
