Comicconnect.com has just opened to the public and is charging no sellers' fees until September!
The guys who put it together said they'd heard enough complaints about other auction sites and comics trading sites that they decided to shake up the model a bit and see if they couldn't do it better. Sellers can get their items graded for free and buyers can get a 3rd-party to verify the condition, as well. There are no buyer's fees and the site says that even once it starts charging seller's fees, they will not be exorbitant.
There are a lot of good auctions on there, too. I saw an Amazing Fantasy #15 (1st Spider-Man), as well as Batman and Daredevil #1 issues. There are also a lot of other, obscure issues and titles for a lot less than those are going for.
It's definitely worth checking out, but the only problem I have is that it only accepts credit cards and money orders. I don't see that it allows PayPal or personal checks, but you can probably work something out with the individual seller and/or buyer.
