New auction website

I would like to introduce a website I'm working on, part of the website use an auction software similar to Ebay, once you are registered (free) you can start listing cards (free) auction style, you are allowed up to 5 images per listing.

Although it is impossible to beat the giant I hope I can get enough members to make it a viable alternative to the other website.

I listed a few cards that I have and I will list more as time permit, I would like to invite you to do the same, obviously don't expect to make great sale at this point but if you do have some cards that could be used to try it, please do.

What I'd like to do is get you guys involved so I can make the adjustment required to make it the best auction site available strictly devoted to cards and related items.

I'd like to get as much feedback as I can on every aspect, for example the registration page ask for a lot of information do you feel more secure knowing the website gathers information on you and the people you will be dealing with or do you think it is to much?

I can setup the auction to extend if somebody bid in the last few seconds, good for the seller not so good for the buyers, what do you think, good or bad?

I took a quick look, and didn't see a mention of listing or selling fees...are there any?

Not at the moment and not for an extended period of time.

My goal is to build an auction site strictly related to card collecting either sports, non-sport, postcards etc. as an alternative to the giant.

I will spend the time and the money to advertise it but I need your help to get it to fly, I need as many sellers as I can get to build an "inventory" so we can attract buyers, like I said previously don't expect great sale at the moment but if you could list some cards that you would not spend the money to list on *bay, if you could also list some better cards that you are not in the rush to sell that would be great.

Because the sale will be slow until I get enough members I would suggest that you list your cards at a price you are comfortable to sell, so if you get only one bid than you are not loosing money.
