I came here to say mostly this. PayPal now requires a mobile number to use their service in the US at least. If you are traveling and you lose your phone, or your mobile number gets changed, or you...

ebid does handle payments between the buyer and seller in any way, which is what ebay switched away from doing. So if you use PayPal on ebid, then collecting money with PayPal from the buyer should...

I was going to respond to a thread about advertising eBid, but with the number of ideas that I came up with, I thought it would be better to have them as an original post. Some of these ideas can...

Most people likely don't know what Cloudflare is. Have you ever had to solve a Capcha by clicking on images of cross walks or bicycles to be able to access a website? Then you've experienced what...

I had to end my listings due to travelling and being unable to be sure of being able to ship anything. Now it went past the 75 days or so and my listings are gone. Are they in some kind of archive? I...

I got an email from the eBid auction patrol which said that a buyer most likely has bad intentions. I don't doubt it. It was probably an email harvesting scam. The email advised me to cancel the...

I just had somebody offer me 99 cents on a $1 item, and then send a message asking for my PayPal email. The eBid Auction Patrol sent me an email that advised me to cancel the order. The user account...

What about Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup? Maybe you have to pay extra on Windows 10 for something that has come with Windows for free since Windows 95?

Thanks for the help. I just went ahead and paid it since the amount was so small. Then I was able to refund the fee and now I have a small credit. I would imagine that an expensive item may attract a...

I sold something and the buyer said it was an accident and requested to cancel. I send the two required payment reminders and then I was able to mark them as a non paying bidder. But now I own close...

When 801.11n came about in 2010, many of the newer devices had antennas built in to the device itself. This allowed MiMO to work, but it seemed to cut the range considerably compared to the older 11g...

Over on Feebay you can get bulk forever stamps (100 or 200 or more) for usually 10% less than their value. I just got 100 for $46. Prices will probably go up in a few days once the post office starts...

After cutting someone wide open to remove a body part, this surgeon is guilty of...

I think that keyboard could be very valuable to email spammers! Looks like nobody thought of writing Viagra upside down.

That's a good one!

Yes, I fully understand the impact of not accepting PayPal. I'm not complaining about lack of sales due to that. This situation was about selling silver bullion, and you really can't accept PayPal...

I like the way you think. What bothers *me* is when a patch is free, and it is no longer available from the original source, and I can't find it. Nobody sells it because it is free, so I may not be...

Is there some kind of deleted listing section? I have heard about the "archive" but haven't been able to find it.

Will someone chop of your finger to use it for the finger print reader at your job or house...

It's already happening in a way with bank cards with PINs. They have to kidnap and torture the person...

I believe it's far better for the over all well being of eBid.net that items are made available for sale, rather than worry about a 1% chance that an out of stock situation will occur. Making it so...

Items can go out of stock at any time. It's unreasonable to expect people to check their email and get up in the middle of the night to update their eBid listings because something sold somewhere...

Yes, I call 4 years somewhat recently for a site that has existed for so long without it.

It's no wonder that cloud based services are so popular for those creating them, and online industries in...

The API allows manipulation of the listings for sale, leaving feedback, etc. An API is a consistent interface for using the site that is meant to be used by a computer program instead of a human. A...

If the URL of the eBay item is known, it would be fairly easy to check it every once in a while to see what the available quantity is. But such a program would probably best be independent of eBid,...

I would imagine that a very large number of items listed here are also listed somewhere else, and could be sold at any moment over there and go out of stock. If this site actually required and...

Just refund the buyer for the item not sent. The way I'm used to doing things, I'm not obligated to complete a transaction if I'm out of stock, if there was a mistake in the listing, or if I think...

I always give feedback, but usually not immediately. I saw some give a neutral "waiting for feedback" to the buyer. It seems like a good idea. I suppose I could temporarily ban a particular user from...

If I lower the price on my silver coins to encourage someone to buy and leave me feedback to build my rating, this buyer will snatch them up at a good price and never leave feedback. The 3rd time has...

Just giving users the option to delay feedback by 75 days is quite simple. If eBid ever gets more popular, it will likely develop the same feedback issue that eBay did, and eBid can be the first to...

There are two kinds of Capchas or checks. One just checks your browser to make sure it is one of the common browsers and not some kind of bot. If your browser is not one of the ones that Cloudflare...
