utility bill validation request

[JewelleryGirl]

Hi,

I've been asked for utility bill my name and address that is 3 months old but don't pay any bills at home as I'm a stay at home mom. Is there another document I can submit instead of utility bill in addition to copy of my passport?

ie. credit card statement, bank statement?

I would think a bank statement would be fine if it's got your name and address on it. Email support@ebid.net and ask.

Agree with Cornish.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Should think that any official document that has the relevant information would be fine. I would scan it and eMail it in with an explanation that you do not pay the utility bills.

thank you so much, that is very helpful indeed. Also thanks to everyone taking the time to reply so quickly, much appreciated.

I hope you get it sorted. I would offer them whatever official paperwork you have which has a recent date, and your name/ address on, let them choose. Are you able to also offer a letter confirming the details from the person who does pay the bills if that is needed? Basically offernig as much as you can shows your willingness to sort it out

There are five levels (excluding admin posts) of forum poster.

Level	Number of Posts
Newbie :	1	to	49
Lurker :	50	to	399
DieHard :	400	to	1,499
Master :	1,500	to	2,999
Saint :	3,000	&	Over

The various levels are based purely on the number of posts made to the forums and nothing more should be attributed to them.

Yes, best to read the forums and the help pages and Astral has a couple of good threads as well.

We are all looking at ways to increase our sales on ebid.

One of my top tips, is to buy a couple of things to support previous ebid members ad to see how the buying process works.
And to get some feedback of course.

Besides, techincally, it would be "mistress"... *grin*.

On a serious note, with regard to selling tips,
I agree with Juliebabe25. I know it sounds like a sales pitch but it's true. Back in my early days on feepay I didnt get sales until I had some feedback for buying first, and when I came here to ebid, I had the same experience here.

As for other tips, these are the ones I use, and they do help..

- Publicise your ebid auctions via any ebid, or general auction related social networks groups (or local "selling" pages on Facebook as well). There are ebid and general auction promotion social networks on Yahoogroups, Livejournal, facebook, Twitter, etc. Some people have also found success on pininterest as well.

- If you sell on ebay, pop a flyer in with each ebay package, letting your buyers know about your shop here on ebid.

- Make sure that your prices on ebid are comparable to those on ebay.

- I have been advised, as I sometimes list arty things and photographic prints, things created for fundraising by our members, for my theatre group, to explain as much as possible about each item as you can - size, format, how produced, etc. Are they artist-signed? Are they one-of-a-kind?

- I have had a look at your jewelry listings and they are lovely! I will be reccomending to some friends who use jewelry like that to suppliment thier bellydance costumes. I also do bellydance but tend not to use jewelry myself. My only criticism, would be to add what carat the gold plating is (if known), and to add information about your sales policy. As in how quickly you post items out, and by what postal service? What is your returns / refunds policy?
I would add the sales policy to both your listings, and your "about me" page.
