Re: Ebid Car Parts Enquiries?
Hi--I am new here and was just reading the forums...I am wondering since this forum ended on July 15th 2010...has it gotten any better on here for selling car parts and also on the potential buyers sign in process to view items? I have had several views however no questions or sales as of yet. The google search engine does pick the listings up fast thou.
Re: Ebid Car Parts Enquiries?
I think the market needs to develop. In order to develop it needs to have committed sellers. We purchased the life time membership, good advertising. I think it is a great way to widen your web presence. It not not a direct replacement for "the big boy". More of a store hosting spot.
From what I have found this may be one of the reason for Google being slow. When your titles are in all caps (a preferred on some other site) Google doesn't like all caps - ebid converts it to make it Google friendly and in the process characters are placed before your title. I converted all of our titles to "Title Text" in word. Google picked them up right away.

it may make life easier if people can simply ask a question without having to register but it would need to be made clear that no transactions can be carried out outside of ebid, pose the question to gazza and see what he thinks

No idea on car parts specifically. However, for any area to improve then sellers need to make a commitment to provide the range of goods to attract the buyers.
If all sellers are going to sit and wait for someone else to do the ground work and then return to reap the benefits of other's efforts then nothing will improve.
Vehicles and car parts, which are relatively expensive items, are cheap to sell here. Whatever the end price it will cost you a maximum of $1.00 to sell if you use a Featured listing - as there are no FVFs with that.

Great Tip on the Featured Listing... Didn't know ;)
Re: Ebid Car Parts Enquiries?
I've listed a far number of car spares etc over the years.A total waste of time,never sold a thing.

What you doing wrong then? I've only ever listed one car part (for a P4 Rover). Sold it almost immediately.
Re: Ebid Car Parts Enquiries?
What I think I did wrong was list them on here in the first place.After giving them an airing I put them on ebay and they all sold for more than I was asking here.

Very well said.
And surely if people priced their car parts well and they get seen on Google, then sales should follow.
