OZtion Announces Recent Growth Results After eBay Forces Australians to use PayPal
Melbourne (PRWEB) April 25, 2008 -- OZtion, Australia's second largest online auction site (www.oztion.com.au) has today announced recent growth results since eBay Australia announced all items must be paid for using PayPal.
OZtion's online auction listings have grown by 22% in the last two weeks to approximately 580,000 simultaneous listings. In the same period, daily new member registrations have increased by 165% and daily new sellers registrations by 300%. OZtion's registrations are now more than a quarter of a million.
Site traffic to www.oztion.com.au now ranks at approximately 10,000, up from 15,000 two weeks ago, which is on par with traffic generated from sites such as Sensis's tradingpost.com.au and Fairfax Digital's drive.com.au according to Alexa Internet, an Amazon.com company that ranks Web traffic. OZtion said traffic has been impacted and has increased to more than 2 million visitors per month.
Philip Druce, General Manager for OZtion commented "The fact that OZtion has seen significant growth across most metrics shows that Australians are looking for alternatives to eBay and will not be forced into only using PayPal. Our internal data shows that 79% of buyers prefer to pay by bank deposit."
OZtion has taken a different approach with regard to fraud prevention. Instead of removing the freedom of choice available through the many payment methods offered, it has created a comprehensive range of identity checks for its members and has also partnered with Australia Post to provide the same level of identity check required to open a bank account.
Philip Druce commented "Many online fraudulent activities are only possible because sites make it easy to create a fake identity. When a crime occurs with a fake identity, sites that don't check identities just shrug their shoulders and hand the fake details to the victim. OZtion focuses on preventing fraud and has created a range of identity checks for both buyers and sellers, allowing Australians to shop online with confidence."
Background Information
OZtion commenced in 2005 when co-founders Philip Druce and Kelvin Yip decided to go head to head with eBay and provide Australians with an alternative auction site.
All research and development for the site is carried out in Melbourne.
All items listed for sale on OZtion are offered by sellers that have been security verified by OZtion's verification process.
OZtion has grown rapidly by offering Australians a safe trading environment, a simple to use site and beneficial cost savings due to its fee structure and localised sellers.

Need An Auction Bargain Finder? Get An Automated Finder For Misspelled Auction Bargains
There is a small army of bargain hunters (and finders) who patiently wade through thousands of online auctions, looking for misspelled auction titles. They do this because, more often than not, misspellings don't get much in the way of buyer traffic. That means that these items can go for a fraction of the price they normally would, since few people bid on them. Smart buyers who know this can clean up on auction sites, either to get what they want for personal use at a bargain price or to resell the stuff right back on the same website (with the listing spelled correctly).

Buying at the Foreclosure Auction
Buying at the auction is not for everybody, particularly beginners with limited funds. You require cash, and lots of it, to buy properties at auction. If you have access to a huge credit line or have a money partner, you may sometimes find real bargains at foreclosure auctions. Do not get too thrilled, though, because many properties also have too little equity for people to bother with, or have so much equity that a large crowd would show up to compete.
