I'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.

Don'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!

Wrong item delivered, no resolution Ordered item and was shipped the wrong item. Contacted seller who initally responded and then lost interest and has not rectified the sale after four attempts to contact. Contacted ebid who responded to say "We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers." Take care, you clearly have no rights, limited redress and ebid themselves disassociate themselves from their business. Edit - in response to ebid's reply... Yes you did ship me something, but the trick is that should be what I ordered, not some other random box. The reply nicely illustrates the point I'm trying to make in this review.

Faultless Faultless. genuine, reliable, prompt delivery,unbeatable price, so five stars

I'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.
