It's possible that the 'strikethrough' means that their account is not yet validated - it's possible that they'll be OK buyers.

Then again, the strikethrough may well mean that eBid are...

All threads that you take part in are auto 'subscribed'.

Go to 'Quick Links' above, then click 'Subscribed Threads'.

Works for me anyway.

I don't know Linda, but I'm sure you realise that a request is different to a demand - requests need to be considered along with eBids other business needs, and it's just great that we're able to...

Hi again youmeus - I have tracked the member growth with interest, and I see it growing steadily every day as I've suggested.

I fear you know the answer.

There is no way that I can see.

BuyNow is available on Platinum Auctions, I don't think it's available on Standard Auctions. We'll see.

I'm lovin my website and must get it completed soon - I've got a subdomain that points directly to my eBid listings too :)

My Buyer paid fairly quickly, and then I noticed they've actually filled in their 'All About' page, which is often a good sign from any newbie.

So that's nice :)

Yes, I see some bargains, but I think you're wanting to be a Seller, not a Bargain Buyer?

You've got some exciting items there; what are you doing to promote yourself online and offline may I ask?

I don't know. Never accept it, it is used exclusively by people who want to send money to family members, and by internet scammers. End of. Period.

The fees are self-evident, PPP to PPP is free, of course if you don't have any funds to send then you should be aware of Card use charges.

I'm glad you know the costs are on the front page wembly,...

You get five stores for free once you sign up as a Seller+; I'm just a 'Seller' so I don't have a store yet.

eBid has a simple system IMHO - perhaps too simple at times, but it's better than being overly-complex and restrictive. I don't expect eBid to become more complex or more restrictive, only refined...

Fees are on their front page; all payment systems cost in some way; PPP can be cheaper for Sellers than PayPal - PPP was set up to compete with PayPal, and so they attempt to be cheaper.

I can say that it's around 300-400 new members per day, it's fairly stable growth at the moment. We can't say how many become 'active' buyers and how many just let their accounts languish for months...

I think it may be instantly in your 'Google Checkout Account' then of course there's the standard transfer time to you bank, which may be 3, 4 or 5 working days I imagine.

'Wanteds' are soo under-used and under-valued - are they value-less I wonder? A waste of the poster's time? They seem to raise false hope :(

Your idea would give them real value.

Don't know what that means. Making me aware of a site is recommending it, which is promotion.

Unless you'd like to know about a bad, dull site I know? Try http://www.videosoniclab.com/ it's badly...

It could be that eBid's email server has the wrong time on it (DST?), or, if your email is one of the popular webmail services it's possible that their email server is out of line with your local...

I've got a personal website, and I've put a subdomain into it to point at my listings - so http://ebid.xaos.org.uk shows my eBid listings nicely :)

ah, OK, thanks for the clarification. I believe Windows Prefetch is designed to speed up the opening of common programs, so it seems best to leave that folder alone.

Hi Jewel,

can I ask for clarification on clearing the 'prefetch' folder please? Are we talking about the Windows Prefetch folder, or one's Browser's Prefetch service?

(Explanation: The Windows...

I wouldn't mind knowing the answer,

*bump.

I just used it, and I don't really understand why it's quicker than doing it yourself. It doesn't allow you to do multiple searches, i.e. you can't search all four sites simultaneously so it's not a...

Well, as you've found, checking on the forums can answer questions for you on the same day! eBid support work very hard; I contacted them today about a dodgy seller, and I got a reply very quickly,...

You can change the defaults by going into 'my eBid' and then 'my Defaults' - so that you can ensure that your defaults are not 'Featured Listings'.

Or you could ensure you take care to read the...

Worst of the six for sure, and I'm a big big fan.

Sounds good, let's hope I'm in for a good experience too then, thank you :)

I stupidly failed to check the date on a listing, and bought something.

After a several 'messages' and emails to the Seller, they replied today to tell me they couldn't get into eBid any more, and...

I don't know; it sounds like the seller is experiencing technical difficulties, and one would hope that they can get it fixed and look after you.

As the Seller needs to act, I'm unsure how eBid...

They liked it, from what I gather - ugh.
