CQout Reaches New Literary Heights
CQout, the UK's second largest online auction site has reached new literary heights with over 200,000 new and pre-owned books, comics and magazines listed.
The auction site which was launched in 1999 by three London Business School graduates has grown to become eBay's closest rival in the UK online auction market by establishing a reputation as a safe, secure and trusted auction site and now has over a million individual live listings.
The company's dedication to ‘going the extra mile' to help its users is a major factor in CQout's continued growth in a market that has seen auction sites come and go. A recent and typical example of that help was CQout's response to a request by online bookseller ‘Justabookshop' to provide an ISBN search facility and other search and listing tools.
“I'd had discussions with two other leading online marketplace about listing my inventory, but they just seemed to big to care: their attitude was that it was up to me to reformat my entire stock control system to match their very inflexible listing requirements,” reports one major CQout bookseller. “What was so refreshing about CQout is that they obviously wanted my business and were prepared to work hard to get it. And what I've ended up with is the listing interface I wanted, with the added benefit that CQout doesn't charge for listing items- so I'm paying commission only on what I sell, which makes it a highly cost effective solution.”
That ‘no sale, no fee' policy on standard listings is one of the things that has always set CQout apart from its better-known rival, as is the one-off registration fee that CQout charges new users as part of their highly regarded security validation process.
“One of the reasons that we've survived so long is that we take a rigorous approach to security and the creation of a safe trading environment for all concerned,” says CQout MD Siamak Bashi. “But above all we've recognised since day one that most small businesses and sole traders are busy people who want to make their online presence as simple and hassle free as possible- and that's why we're prepared to ‘go the extra mile' rather than expecting them to work it all out themselves.”
With online sales continuing to rise in the UK, it seems that CQout will continue to be a page turner! And if you're a small business or sole trader who wants a ‘no sale, no fee' sales channel for your goods, CQout will be glad to help you add them to the 3/4 million live listings it currently hosts.
