GBHow to Grow and expand eBid since I mainly deal with stamps and a few coins, it would be nice to see eBid take out an advertisement in both Linn's Stamp News as well and Coin World, and Maybe place an ad with American Philatelic Society in their monthly journal. I recently did a mass mailing to all my past buyer from THAT OTHER rip off auction site, and the response has been very good. So now I have begun tailoring to their previous purchases. It so far seems to be working.

GBI've been using eBid for since 2010 and… I've been using eBid for since 2010 and I can honestly say that I have had nothing but good experiences with it. It is far cheaper than eBay to list items, the final value fees are cheaper and the customer service staff are faster to respond and are far more helpful in general. The downside is that eBid is not as popular as eBay with less users but this should change over time. Also, eBid does not have the flexible, multi-variant listing tools that eBid has. Overall however, I would recommend eBid. In general, I think it is pretty good and I have sold many items through it.

GBnew seller - already saving on fees Just started selling on eBid and once you get used to the layout/interface, it's super easy. I thought it would take a little more time for things to sell than on ebay because of the smaller traffic but I'm already selling well and saving on ebays extortionate selling fees ! I went for the platinum membership for lifetime free or low fees and I'm already saving money compared to if I'd sold on ebay. Not only that, having the ability to have an item auction start on first bid is gold ! Great stuff so far

GBI've been using Ebid for some time I've been using Ebid for some time, and it's a much better platform than eBay, for both buyers and sellers. The more sensible fee structure means sellers on Ebid can charge less than on rival platforms, listing's simpler and the search engine actually works. Plus PayPal is included in the payment options. So it's cheaper and easier to sell on Ebid, and easier to find what you're looking for if you're buying. And PayPal ensures that transactions are safe and secure.

GBDon't touch them unless you're on PayPal! Ordered a software package, duly paid for it through PayPal, then got directed back to the seller only to find I was being asked to "Buy" it all over again. I contacted the seller through eBid AND his PayPal email, got nothing. Thankfully the PayPal Resolution process refunded me immediately!
