Ebid Item Search Limitations

[parcelcode]

I've noticed that the ebid search facility seems to miss items out that would have been shown on ebay etc.

Eg. I've listed a product of known title description but can only find my item if I search for variations in the title words.

Eg. a product say a mail box or parcel box or mailbox parcelbox can only be found if say one searches for a mailbox rather than a mail box.

Similarly you need to be specific eg. a parcel box rather than a parcel box, - on ebay etc. either would turn up results.

This makes ebid appear to have fewer listings than it really has.

Get this one fixed guys !

I suggest you get your listing fixed as well.

You have your own E Commerce Web Site address showing.

This is not permitted as per eBid rules.

Yes, they are. There is a thread about this (common search misspellings/variations) that has many additions, you may want to check it out.

Oh and welcome to eBid.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
