eBid reported in eBuyer magazine in UK
This magazine, although supposed to be about all auction sites in the world, tend to be very biased about eBay - around 90% of magazine dedicated to them. However, they did mention eBid briefly...
"eBid - (http://uk.three.ebid.tv)
Relatively new, but eBid has clearly learned from the master, while picking up a few tricks of its own. With great gimmicks like an LCD countdown to closing bids, its own payment gateway in the Paypal mold, and the promise of zero commision to sellers (at a time when eBay is cranking up its fees), this could be a serious contender if more peopleknew about it.
Verdict - obviously much smaller than eBay, but definately one to watch. (5/5)"
Out of QXL, Amazon and eBid, it was eBid that came out tops. Just a shame that this was one paragraph in a magazine other wise dedicated to eBay.....
eBid in eBuyer & Online Seller
Hi there
I'm the editor of eBuyer & Online Seller, and you'll be glad to know there's a 4-page feature on eBid coming up in the next issue of the mag - issue 75, on sale 9 June 2005.
I think saying that 90 per cent of the mag features eBay is a tad unfair - I'd put it at about 60 percent. We *are* trying to feature as many different auction sites as possible - but there will always be stuff on eBay, as that's where the millions of people are. Hopefully some viable alternatives, such as eBid, will take the fight to eBay, which will be good news both for my mag and for the general auction user.
Thanks!
