BarterBee.com Introduces 'Web Free Point O'

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- BarterBee.com, the largest online trading site for CDs, DVDs, and video games, has announced it will no longer charge any transaction fees for trades on its site.

"Our growing membership, low operating costs, and ability to monetize our traffic through advertising and envelope sales have given us the ability to no longer charge a transaction fee," said BarterBee.com President Robert Alvin. "We like to think of it as Web 'Free.0'."

Founded in 2005, BarterBee.com has become one of the fastest growing online trading sites of its kind.

At BarterBee.com, members join for free and receive a free CD, DVD or video game of their choice to try out the site. Members list items for a point value without a fee or commission. The site automatically creates the listing that includes free photos, content and reviews. When another member acquires the item, the points are given to the listing member. Those points can be used to get new items on the site, again without any transaction fees.

BarterBee.com is unique in that the site carries CDs, DVDs, and video games, and members can cross trade between categories. (i.e. get rid of a DVD to get a CD or game)

BarterBee.com also offers members the option of purchasing special media mailers that insure the member against loss or damage.

"We've focused our efforts on building our company the right way: by listening to our members and constantly refining our product. The enormous response we continue to get validates the need for BarterBee.com and reflects the even greater value we now offer," said Alvin.
