Another example. I picked the phrase 'history of' for a search of closed book listings. Over 1500 closed book auctions were displayed, and only a handful, i think about 6, had ever sold and at very...

I have been selling here for 4 months and have 796 items posted, nice hardbacks, paperbacks, and some postcards. So far I have sold 1 postcard for $4 to a US buyer and 5 paperbacks for $1.95, $2.95,...

wembley - In over 3 months here I have sold 1 paperback for $2.95 USD (to a UK buyer). I don't think Americans go to eBid very often. Amazon/Alibris/Abebooks (recently purchased by Amazon) seem to...

klj - I have to agree with officeboy. Book buying customers are stuck looking at the large pure book listing sites where many many millions of books are offered (here we have only about 150,000 so...

Salus -- abe is currently owned by Burda, a German media conglomerate.

You will pay a monthly rent and a commission of 13.5% (8% commission + 5.5% processing fee) on the total amount of each sale,...

leapingcat -- yes, that is exactly the reason I too decided to try selling books at eBid. The standard fixed price book listing services -- Amazon, Alibris, and Abebooks -- are taking such a pound...

Hi SalusL - eBid is certainly not yet used by regular book buyers. As you probably know, online book sales are totally dominated by the big 3 A's: Amazon, Alibris, and Abebooks. Then there is...

The problem with adding picture has already cleared up for me. Go fresh into the site and give it another try. Hope there are no more problems for you.

I have also had trouble with adding a picture today, so it may be a temporary glitch. It usually works smoothly

I have previously only used fixed price listing services for books, and would be lost without the Run Until Sold feature. I would probably not be here if eBid did not offer it.

I do not deep...

Just wanted to THANK eBid admin for getting good Google placement of our auctions. This alone is an excellent reason to join up and list, a big plus.

raindropsies2 - thank you for a straight answer to my question.

Xaos -- your quick comments are usually less than helpful. Yes I had tried editing but could not see a way to do what I wanted to...

Once an auction is locked in as Free and later you decide you want it to be Gallery, is there any way to edit it over to Gallery without deleting it and starting again?

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for any responses to my question.

I certainly did not intend an 'arrogant' answer here. That was definitely a misinterpretation by xaos. I was simply answering his question and...

I suggest you change the category

No, I am not simply curious and I am a Lifetime seller+. I would like to create a data feed to Google Base. I did manage somehow to...

How does one use the 'Export Listings' feature ? I can click on the link and I see two choices in blue letters, one bulk listings and one Google, but neither of them is clickable. It just doesn't...

Gazza -

Can you add the following:

Books : Nonfiction : Medical
OR
Books : Nonfiction : Sci & Tech : Medicine

Yes, I second the motion for Social Sciences

Thanks

I signed up as a lifetime seller about a week ago. The 49.99 was an offer I couldn't refuse. I sell only fixed price and have up about 66 items so far. I just don't see how it could not 'be worth...

I also will add my voice to those who do not want the Floating Preview. I would prefer the two static buttons at top and bottom of preview.

Yes, I discovered eBid because of the PowersellersUnite forum.

I signed up for the Lifetime membership a few days ago and am happy I did. The software infrastructure here seems very good.

Jimi - I list with a couple of the large pure book listing sites, but sales there are slowing and they are becoming expensive for what they offer, a la feeBay.

I tried selling books without any...

eBid probably does not have a really good ISBN database like feeBay or Amazon because they don't have the money to buy what is necessary. There are probably no or very few sellers using the ISBN...
