  1. Re: What I wanted to buy on ebid - but could not

    Yes I was just pointing out some opportunities for people to sell some popular items.

    Which has been done before

    Its not really ebid's job to do it. (But I do get Adrumi's supermarket analogy)...
  2. Re: What I wanted to buy on ebid - but could not

    My Dad was born in Hounslow!

    I am living in New Zealand so it would not be feasible for me to buy them from China or the USA and then ship them back to the USA or the UK.

    I do hope someone else...
  3. What I wanted to buy on ebid - but could not

    The other day I wanted to buy something online.

    I turned to our own TM here in NZ - nothing.
    then I tried ebid - nothing,
    Then I saw Amazon - lots
    Then I tried ebay - lots

    So I had to buy...
  4. Re: Why does ebid not have main stream advertising

    I just saw an ebid ad at the top of a Google search for ebid!

    Re: How to respond to ebay shambles

    But that also means that ebay is making a lot more money than ebid.
    Or put it the other way ebid is making a lot less money than ebay.
    So it will always have less resources with which to progress.

    Re: How to respond to ebay shambles

    mmm a lot of people have been asking for variations.

    I imagine that this would be a major programming job.
  7. Re: Why does ebid not have main stream advertising

    Whilst I agree that Main stream advertising for ebid would be great.

    I saw some figures the other day which said that internet advertising is now 50% of the total spent on all advertising. That is...
  8. Re: Positive observation. U.S. site 100k listings in 12 hours

    Yes, its the trends that matter.
  9. Re: Why does ebid not have main stream advertising

    Peter
    A very refreshing read.

    But your final summary is that people should do their own promoting.
    But the fact is that most new sellers just want to come here, list some items and see them...
  10. Re: Why does ebid not have main stream advertising

    Its all about the fee structure.
    If ebid had 10 million in the bank I am pretty sure they would spend some of that on main stream advertising.
  11. Re: Why does ebid not have main stream advertising

    The fact is that ebid have locked themselves in by promising seller + members free listings and only 2% fvf fees.
    So that probably does not give ebid enough money to advertise.

    Maybe new members...

    Re: How about a new tagline ?.

    A new tag line would be great.

    Joining and selling on ebid is/are not simple so they cant use that.

    A new logo would be great

    A new name would be even greater.
  13. Re: Why does ebid not have main stream advertising

    How can they up their prices when they have not yet joined ?
    And if they do join ebid they will not be paying ebays 9% or whatever it is.
  14. Re: Why does ebid not have main stream advertising

    I did not read it all as it was quite long.
    But well said.
    Ebid could start slowly, even in specialist magazines, cars, sewing, craft etc.
    And as you build up slowly.

    But i still think the key...
  15. Re: Number of listings shrink categories increase...........

    I think that most thinking people would not mind paying higher fv fees if it all went to advertising ebid.
    It would be better to pay say 3 or 4% if your sales doubled.

    But there are some dead...
  16. Re: Number of listings shrink categories increase...........

    Really ?
    Ebid only gets a couple of hundred new members a day! (so 4,000 sales an hour is not possible)
    The reason for the drop in listings imho is that people are giving up selling on line and on...

    Re: "Them over there" messing with fees again

    We all hope that ebay latest move will bring more members and sales.
    But as we alll know it never happens
    Ebay know how far they can push their users.

    The stats that matter are declining at a...

    Re: 100 Sellers Wanted

    More importantly ebid needs new buyers and sellers.
    And it needs it current buyers and sellers to buy more and list more.

    But how to achieve this.
    Because it is not happening

    Re: Overpricing items

    Wow - so,many people reporting over priced items on ebid.

    May be it is because it can cost virtually nothing to list on ebid so some sellers can just take a chance and if some mug buys their item...

    Re: 100 Sellers Wanted

    Well said,
    Lets face it an auction site is an auction site.

    There may be one small reason why not so many buyers come here, but I'll save that for one of my series.

    Re: 100 Sellers Wanted

    Yes the OP's idea was a great idea.
    And one that comes up about every month.

    The trick is finding a way to contact all the old ebid members (probably about one million of them) , and inducing...

    I love books
    And my Dad collects stamps.
    When have I ever attacked collectable sellers?
    All I am saying is that ebid needs many more listings of other categories to attract more buyers.
    There is...

    Re: 100 Sellers Wanted

    Very good maths but...

    How do you (or rather ebid) find 100 such people?
    And why would they want to list 700 items when they have not done so now ?

    That is the real question.
