Hmmm... I'm not sure if it's the same crowd, but years and years ago, before eBay had the monopoly, there was an Irish site called eBid.ie. It worked well for a while, but then descended into a pool of scams and cheats, most of which couldn't be caught due to indifference on the part of the site and lack of a refund/dispute system like PayPal's. The reason for this I don't know, but it went downhill quite quickly and I, along with most genuine users, moved to eBay.

Maybe it's a different company, maybe it works a lot better now, and is a worthy alternative, but back in the day (I guess around 2001) it wasn't to be trusted...
