Some alternatives to ebay are:
1. Niche auction sites – these are specialty sites that appeal to a niche audience of collectors and enthusiasts
WineBid http://www.winebid/ = for wines
Penbid.com http://www.penbid.com/ = for antique pens, pencils and books about them
LabX http://www.labx.com/ = for lab equipment, medical equipment, analytical instruments
Just Beads! http://www.justbeads.com/ -- for beads, jewelry, stones, beaded bags
Pottery Auction http://www.potteryauction.com/ - for pottery
Sedo http://www.sedo.com/ = for domain names
IronPlanet http://www.ironplanet.com/ = for heavy machinery, asphalt, trucks
Playle http://www.playle.com/ -- for vintage postcards
Bid4Assets http://www.bid4assets.com/ = for high ticket items such as real estate, cars, jewelries
2. Yahoo! Auctions http://auctions.yahoo.com/ = eBay’s largest competitor
3. Overstock http://www.overstock.com/ = Skews towards females and their best selling items include women’s shoes and handbags, fashion jewelry, small electronics and cell phone accessories. Overstock’s customers are typically affluent yet value conscious.
4. Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/ = While Amazon.com has an auction component, it is better to sell via their Marketplace which allows sellers to piggyback on what Amazon sells.
5. Liquidation Marketplaces – ideal for sellers offering hundreds or thousands of inventory items
UBid http://www.ubid.com/ = sells brand name merchandise for hefty discounts with bidders prequalified before submitting a bid (they need to provide credit card information)
Liquidation.com http://www.liquidation.com/ = the largest surplus marketplace not intended for sellers offering single items
6. Local Buyers – for big and bulky items you want to sell, or if you prefer local buyers instead of the global marketplace
LiveDeal.com http://www.livedeal.com/ = allows buyers to search by location; allows buyers to make offers to sellers
Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com/ = a free classified ads local directory
Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/ = free classified ads for most household goods
Newspaper classified ads = millions of people still read the newspapers’ classified ads section
7. Live Auction sites
Bidz.com http://www.bidz.com/ = connects you to sales of items on a “last minute basis”
8. Your own website – instead of selling through a different auction sales channel, you can opt to create your own e-commerce site where buyers can directly purchase from you.

The only other auction I know of, or have had experience with is Yahoo Auctions. I used to buy a lot through them, but haven't in a long time. I prefer Half.com or eBay.

I use Auctionaholics.com The auctions are video hosted and there are classifieds and storefronts too. There is also a live Chat. There is also threadflip.com which is pretty cool, but there is more trading there.

I quit using ebay cause they charge fee's and you can't compete with ebay stores that have the whole page with their listing.
Try craiglist.org and classified.com neither charge anything for listing your items and sold everything within one month period.
