EBid Not helpful for selling at all. EBid Not very good at all. EBid really terrible. ( Just ebay best one.)

Ebid has no place for customers to report fraud.
I bought Baratza encore coffee grinder on Sept. 13 of 2021, a few days later I suspected that the seller is a fraud and I emailed him, few hours later I received an ebid notice that that auction had been closed on August 28. Though the seller continues to sell till Sept 13th.
The seller had disappeared from ebid page.
I can't understand how that happened.
It seems that ebid is just interested in getting seller fees to start selling and care less about nothing else.
I will get the money from Paypal.
I will never buy anything else on ebid.
It is another fraud.

Do not recommend, if you want to buy something best to buy on ebay or Amazon. EBid is designed badly.

I have listed a total of 225 items on ebid, i also bought the seller+ option. What a mistake, not made one single sale. I contact ebid and was told am not selling it properly! And wont refund me the sellers+ money.
Well i decided to sell those same items on ebay the exact same format and guess what, yip so far ive sold 53 items in one month. Ebid do not market there website, they make there money conning people and selling advertising.

Ebid is a Scam. Stay away! They scammed me out of 69 dollars plus listing fees and zero purchases. I advertise on other sites and do well. Ebid is a scam.

I've been a seller on Ebid for many years and the platform has grown organically over that time.

Fees are low (or free) but do not expect Ebay levels of sales.

Ebid seems to have certain categories of items that sell regularly and if you offer goods in any of those categories, you will see regular sales.

The one off payment lifetime seller option is so comparatively cheap that you will most likely make back the cost in savings in your first year particularly if you sell regularly or run a niche business - it's a going to be much cheaper to set up a store front in Ebid than hosting your own website.

Ten years of being a Seller+ member, I find that eBid is the top auction site to join. The selling fees are much better than other auction sites and in most cases, free listing. You can also have your own store.

Paid for lifetime, listed several items, no sales, no views, false advertising, should be refunded my money.

Sorry E-Bid pals today I decided to switch back to e-bay after nearly a year of trying to sell my stuff on E-bid, nothing moved seems like either no-one see it or perhaps no one trust or know this web site. I have to admit that e-bid website is a lot easier and more user friendly to add stuff but what is a point if stuff is not selling. I even paid a premium price for a year to have maximum visibility, lost money on it.
Sorry to say but I do not recommend e-bid again feel bad for those guys but this is a truth.

Recently returned to Ebid after several years.
Needed to change username to start afresh. Customer Service promptly dealt with my request offering a more personal service rather than the automated response from other well known rivals.
Listing is very easy and fees very reasonable compared to other online auction sites.
So far so good.

I joined Ebid 10 years ago and have found the site easy to use with low fees, no chopping and changing the rules, and the service from the support staff is second to none. Friendly, efficient, helpful people who will always try to go the extra mile!

CS is good they don't take long to reply
I like the sites layout, usability and low fees

The main issue is traffic which needs a major boost, people want to use the site but also want to see sales so they can escape from the larger sites but so far its not giving people a reason to invest more time on the site.
They used to have branded Tape etc which is how I found the site, even a small form of advertising will increase the traffic by a large percentage.
I am still using the site since I do see the odd sale now and then

Been on the Site for 10 years Paid the £50 Lifetime Membership, and earned almost nothing. Keep away from here it is a waste of time!
In Fact list an item first see how many hits you get it is laughable.

I only discovered this site because I was searching for something online. That was probably 11 years ago. I paid about £50 for a lifetime seller + membership. The only thing I ever sold on ebid was some very good quality handmade cards for a ridiculously low price to mainly 2 people, but then they started only buying things in the ydc auctions, the highest starting bid at the time being 99p, and usually ending at that price, if the item sold at all. There were never many views.

After a gap of many years, I recently tried selling some popular items that sell on ebay and usually have a lot of views from the first day of listing on ebay. I just deleted them from ebid after several months of getting a total of between no views and maybe up to 5 views and no interest and no sales. I deleted them because I didn't want to have to remember to go there and delete what I had sold on ebay just in case somebody ever did see the items on ebid and decide to buy something. My prices were lower on ebid as well because the fees were lower and when importing the listings from ebay you can set the prices lower automatically if you want to.

I liked what seemed to be a lot more fair fees and policies than on ebay, but when there are so few views and no sales that doesn't even really matter. If I hadn't discovered them by doing an online search for something back then, I wouldn't even know they exist. That is the only time they have ever come up in an online search, and on the occasions when I have gone there looking for something, nothing has ever come up in a search of ebid. I really don't know how they continue to exist.

I have been an eBay member since 1996 and a member of eBid for about a year. I sell as many items on eBay as I do with eBid. The only difference is that eBay charges about 10% plus listing fees and eBid charges 3%, no listing fees. Over the years, I have watched eBay decline in sales, increase costs and make the rules so complex it was no fun to work on eBay any more. It used to be great. Now I am working on both platforms and find that eBid is about the same in terms of complexity. Now I do working at cultivating customers and guiding them to my items. If you do not do that, neither will work.

Overly complicated listing system.

No sales, no views, waste of time as a seller. Promotions? Lifetime sub? Forget it.

As a buyer the payment system is very strange and hard to navigate. Why does one have to check paypal and the purchase several times, add extra details and then check again? Why would anyone bother? This is the answer as to why this place will never take off.

It doesn't deserve to. It only rakes in sub fees from sellers who are fed up with other platforms, nothing but a scam with outdated design.

Signed up for lifetime. Figured even if I sold nothing it would spread my name on the search engines... Nope, does not even do that, they are so far down on google and others as to not even make a ripple. Listed about 30/40 good selling items that sell daily on my site and ebay and I have yet to sell one thing. Saw a message about poor sales and needing more listings a month or so ago saying they would kick me off... I figured BFD... Now they are sending me bills for 67 cents and sh*... Laughable company. They did find a niche though, screw people by charging so little that people just write it off as a bad decision... I actually forgot I was on there, total waste of time and money... All that being said, if you have 50 bucks to waste you might as well waste it on ebid.
