I always use EasyLive wherever possible!

I always use EasyLive rather than any other bidding platform as their charges for online bidding are far more reasonable and for higher ticket value items their £3.00 bidding flat fee is fantastic and potentially saves a lot of money compared to their ‘rip-off’ rivals!!

It usually works well

It usually works well, occasionally glitchy but it is frustrating when you spend the £3 fee & don't get anything, even more so when you don't spend the £3 & end up buying something unexpectedly only to pay more for the same thing. It might be better to make it totally free when you log in & pay a (say) 2% fee for any purchases made on this platform, this would make you more money & also fairer for hobby type purchasers to get better value for their purchases.

No contest.

No contest.
I always opt for the single prepayment option for all auctions I intend to bid on and listed with Easy LIve.
Easy to register, follow and bid with no additional fees if successful.
