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!

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.

Great Value as a customer and seller As a seller I have been enjoying using this service. I had low expectations but its more than paid for itself. Hopefully over time it will become a little more slick but the import function from ebay is invaluable and its really been worth the money. I also recently tried MadeMe.uk and NuMonday as selling platforms and had zero sales in a year.

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.

How 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.
