Bringing my inventory from the other site
Hi All
I am coin and currency seller on the other site but I don't know how many more "Spring Seller Updates" I can withstand, so I am posting all of my fixed priced listings here also. I would love to hear from any other coin sellers on ebid, tips, experiences etc. I would really like to see the other site have some competition

Hi.....Glad you are here!
One tip I have is to remove the links to eBay in your listings.................not allowed here. We are promoting eBid, not sales on ebay.
Have you clicked the help button at the top right of any page, and read the FAQ's on the left about selling? Gives the do's and don'ts, and lots of good tips.
Re: Bringing my inventory from the other site
What Her Majesty said. A few tips:
7-10 day auctions with auto reposts move items to the tops of searches, RUS items tend to stay at the bottom of searches.
Add a BIN price to listings to have listings uploaded to Google shopping.
If you're selling auction style, it's a good idea to list items at the lowest prices you'd be willing to accept as there aren't a lot of bidding wars at present.
Oh and don't forget Plug Your Auctions section of the forum (1x per 24 hours, remove old plug before adding new one) and social media websites to increase your exposure as well as telling former customers on other sites and everyone you know about eBid.
Welcome to eBid. :)
Good luck and best wishes for many sales to all,

Hi and welcome to eBid. :)
Posted this (selling suggestions) to another thread but it might be helpful here as well:
1) Offer international shipping whenever possible to widen your potential customer base.
2) If seller+ use your 5 free stores to organize your items.
3) Use BIN prices whenever possible (in addition to auction style if desired) to ensure your items are uploaded to Google shopping.
4) Use Plug Your Auctions section of the forum (1x per 24 hours, delete/close old post before adding new one) to advertise your items for sale.
5) Use social media sites to advertise your listings.
6) Add a signature link to your forum posts so members can click to view your listings.
7) Check out the Help pages and Astral's FAQs page (info. about signature link on Astral's page), lots of good info. here.
8) Tell everyone you know and meet about eBid, including former customers on other sites.
9) Use MaO if it's your thing or offer combined shipping or similar to give buyers more incentive to purchase from you.
10) List as many items as possible to give buyers more choices.
11) Use 7-10 day listings instead of RUS to ensure your items move up searches.
12) Participate in the forums and eBid activities (as the monthly YDC charity auctions if it's your thing) so members get to know you.
