“Selling on ebid”

Richard F.
7/29/22

On ebid for 1 week as a seller. 13 listings. About 18 views on each listing, no sales. This site has great potential for sellers and buyers due to the very low cost compared to the gouging we take on others. I offer much better prices on Ebid due to lower cost. Test Google Search results And my products showed up first page. All sellers should give this a try just don't start on Ebid due to low traffic for now. They are a little difficult to navigate and need to improve this.

“They close life time subscriptions for no reason, its a scam site”

Simon c.

They close lifetime subscriptions for no reason, it's a scam site. They charged me £49 for a lifetime subscription then they suspended it and asked for my driving licence, and proof of address, so I sent them the front and back of my driving licence and a bank statement that was just over 1 month old. Then they kept on asking me for different paperwork until they asked for one I couldn't produce because I'm not the homeowner. ONE BIG SCAM keep clear eBay has 100 times more traffic even in 2024

I opened ebid when ebay was requiring me to edit all my pictures to a larger size, so I edited all my pictures. I then found ebid and loaded all my pictures and auctions there as well.

Good thing I did. Ebay loses pictures after 90 days if an item isn't relisted. Ebay raised their listing prices at that time with no free listings anymore. So when you have 5000 items there is a good chance you are going to lose a lot of pictures. Ebid doesn't so at least I have a great storage system for all my pictures with an easy way to find the exact picture by searching for my listing.

Plus I get a couple sales here and there.

Not bad. Still haven't gotten the free tshirt (not that I really care but this is THEIR advertisement that I would be wearing anyways)

I have been selling and buying on http://uk.ebid.net/ for 7 years and find it very good and easy to use. Its much smaller than eBay.

Despite the problems I note here, I continue to maintain a quality store on eBid.net and remain hopeful for the future. EBid is great in all ways but one - NO SALES! And, if there are no sales then all the other aspects of their service are moot. I am able to sell these items on feeBay without a problem, but all I get are lookers on eBid, and not that many, really. Not even one sale, or question or offer in 4 months, and I offer most items worldwide! EBid refuses to advertise, so the future prospects are just as bleak. It's a real shame for those of us trying to exit feeBay. FeeBay execs must be laughing!

For sellers eBid is a close second to feeBay when it comes to their site sophistication. Listing is a breeze and their search system works nicely. I'll keep praying for better customer traffic.
