The short answer is no -- not if you are talking about most things. There have been numerous attempts to compete with Ebay in "general merchandise" auctions, but Ebay is just too big and none have been very successful.

In the case of certain special fields, like movie posters, there have been several outstanding alternative on-line auction sites develop and flourish outside of ebay: movieposterbid.com, emovieposter.com, heritage.com are the big ones.

There is at least one alternative for comics, pulp magazines, and similar stuff that I know of: http://www.comicbidz.com/

If you want to check out all the auction sites that are out there trying to be alternatives to Ebay, start here:
