Quicksales (formerly Oztion) is an online auction site based in Australia, and the second largest auction website in Australia. According to the site there are more than 750,000+ items available for auction or purchase and as of 15 September 2009 there are over 430,298 member accounts.
Listing, including up to three pictures, is free but sellers are charged a commission when a sale is completed. vShops are a unique OZtion version of online auction shops. They allow sellers to have a searchable store, and include information about their business on a separate page. Owners of vShops are charged $5 per calendar month for the privilege.
At least one form of verification is required to become a seller. Forms of verification available are: address verification, credit card verification, photo ID verification (drivers licence or passport), telephone verification (only after one other form of verification has been completed) and Australia Post verification (which adds address and photo ID verification as well). As of 2007 only residents of Australia and New Zealand are permitted to sell on OZtion (sellers from other countries registered prior to September 2006 are still allowed to sell). A major difference between OZtion and more dominant auction sites is that OZtion allows non-electronic verification (for example, eBay’s verification system involves credit card or phone, while its payment system, PayPal, involves bank details).
