Ecrater is the newest site to make the top 5 auction sites. It has a simple, but limited store setup. The listings are clean and simple. It offers free membership, free listings, and free stores. It seems to be hot kid on the block right now. It remains to be seen if it will continue to grow or just be a flash in the pan.

For buyers, you will find an easy to read item page with clean simple design. The membership is free. Item prices are competitive. Their selection is more limited, but growing.

For sellers, you can have a free store, get free listings, and all your items will be listed on Google Base. The store design is easy to use and very simple and clean. You get 1 free image per item.

This is a very easy site to use for both the buyer and seller. You do not have much choice in the design of the store or items. For serious store owners, you may find that Ecrater's design features are too limited.
