Ebid not making the most of its resources
I think when you sign up, for the seller option only as well as the seller plus option. All auction items should be up loaded to Google and should also include a buy it now price. I am de-cluttering in order to move. My hobby was electronics, over the years I have collected thousands of parts which I list on this site and others but not Ebay, in one year I have sold only one item on Ebid compared with several hundred on other sites. I am aware that if I pay I get greater visibility and greater options it is also fine if you have big tag items with a large profit margin or a damaged item where you want several photo of the damage. I tend to look at the item and contact the seller and get the full picture rather than look at a few photos and a brief discription. Whose going to write a pictorial thesis on a small value item?
I look at it in the light as a seller only I only pay when an item is sold and the more I sell on this site the more Ebid makes and the less inital capital I hxve to lay out even if I do get a free T shirt.
If Ebid does not maximise all sellers’ items and they just sit on the site week after week it might be good propaganda for Ebid to shout out how many auctions they have running but it would be better to shout out their turn over.
For me I will still use Ebid as it is another string to my bow although for me it has been a waste of my time and their bandwidth , as it is more of a back of the shop venue rather than a front window display
