Ebay Alternative Site, Tweba, Launches Improved Marketplace
Imagine eBay without the fees and Craigslist without the creepy factor, and you'll get Tweba 2. Tweba's blog details the revised version:
No longer do you have to give out your Ebay Store, Bonanzle Store, Tweba Listings, etc…. You simply show everyone your Tweba feed and then they can choose where to buy your stuff from. a central place for all your needs.Tweba also allows as well as standard buying and selling but also new ways to get stuff. On Tweba you can also Ask for something and then a seller can make you an offer by uploading a description and photo, etc of their item. You can then acceptor reject it.
The original version of Tweba was created by Paul Rawlings,when the site was known as Tweebay. Copyright lawyers at eBay noticed the similar name, and Tweba renamed and relaunched its site to provide a Twitter-style marketplace. 
To register, you must have a Twitter account and follow Tweba, at twitter.com/tweba. At login, you'll request a tweba passcode, which will be sent as direct message to your twitter account. Once you get the passcode, you're in.
You have 240 characters to describe your item and every time you post an item for sale,bid or make any type of transaction on Tweba, you'll receive a Direct Message on Twitter to confirm its you.Items can be sorted into 27 different categories, ranging from antiques to video games.If you've got a Twitter account, put eBay on hold and take the new Tweba for a test drive.
