    Default How do items sell on eBid?

    I have been listed on eBid for many years . I am registered as a "Seller +", I I have on average 80 items listed for sale. I offer return and refund policy. My items are listed at rock bottom prices (any lower and I would have to pay the buyer to take them), The items I have listed are all genuine. My question is WHY HAVE I NOT SOLD AN ITEM??? I would be interested in knowing what I am doing wrong. I am beginning to wonder if eBid is really an alternative to eBay where at least similar items listed do sell to buyers domestic, in UK, Europe, USA and around the world.
    If anyone has an answer I will be grateful to them.

    Hi,

    Your auctions look new or recent, they are carrying the purple logo. If you recently started listing that might be the reason you have not sold. Your auctions are also in RUS (run until sold), so at bottom of heap. Should list 7 to 10 days, with repost x10. You have very nice items.

    Also "Your About Me" page has no details.

    P.S. You have 13 positive feedback that are all from eBid as a seller. Am I missing something?

    What you appear to have missed is the most recent feedback from a buyer is from Fri 06 Aug 2010

    so maybe that is what is meant by the post (they haven't sold anything in years)

    [QUOTE by OP] My question is WHY HAVE I NOT SOLD AN ITEM??? If anyone has an answer I will be grateful to them. [UNQUOTE]

    They sold at least 13; and the auctions running now went up about one month ago. That is not years ago.

    Fair enough...you work out your dates in a different way from me.

    August 2010 was years ago ....I don't see what later auctions have to do with when the seller last sold.

    The seller has very nice items, and stated he sold them easily on the Bay. I looked at his auctions here and the start date is there.

    He sold easily on eBay…well…let’s see what is going to happened in here….in the next 365 days more…’’of course’’ after he set :
    Good description for all items …
    List many as you can…
    Set own items on 7 to 10 days with auto repost 10 times
    Promote your items on eBid thread (Plug you auction)
    Offer ‘’cheap’’ International shipping…
    Tell everybody you know for about eBid…
    And tell your previous buyers from eBay too…
    And ‘’of course’’ visit social threads on eBid and in that way someone can buy from you or you can buy from him…(The money doesn’t matter if you sold something and next day spend that money back and buy something else in here, you will not make profit from that but you will support this site and you will support members in here and other members will support you)…
    And in the end if you not move much in the next 365 days at least stay on social threads and from that you will have very nice and fun time in here…I can guarantee you that a 100%...
    Well...that’s all…’’for now’’…
    I wish you good sales in here……....

    I never thought I'd say this but "Wot Dzambo said"

    + create an eBid shop (or more if you have other types of item)

    complete your about me page.
    Madelaine

    4 shops for Cats Protection & Prospect Hospice
    My Postcard Shop
    BK Stamps for Philatelic listings
    & Yarnalong for craft patterns
    and
    Lotzabitz -anything that doesn't belong in one of the other shops.
