How NOT to sell on eBid....

[starion72]

quote [If you do sell elsewhere do NOT send a flyer or any information at all with your sale to show your Buyers the way to eBid ~ especially if your items are cheaper due to lower fees. (thanks, EmpHolisticGifts). And DO NOT use eBid tape or labels on your parcels ~ you don't want to dispel the myth that things don't sell on eBid do you? (thanks, Knit_Wits_Vintage). Neither do you want pesky Buyers following you everywhere and building up your Customer base do you?]


This is something (a flyer) I have been considering, If I sold a item on the other site. However a flyer to say shop at EBID and slap the person in the face you could of purchased far cheaper on EBID.

Will either bring them to EBID or get me Negative feedback on the other site as they will be p***d off!

I personally don't sell there any more but I should think a touch of diplomacy would work wonders on a flyer.

Even a statement as bland as "I hope you will also check out the other items I have for sale on eBid and thanks again for your purchase" might be enough?

Hey Ken, have you not applied for your FREE T-shirt after sign up???
Just send eBid support an email request & shirt size if not.

OP, I agree with the above comment.

List stuff as Run Till Sold and not answer any requests for an invoice/information.

Happening to me at the moment. Didn't pay immediately as wanted to see if the seller was active and looking after his eBid listings - apparently not

Sounds like classic #20, #21 and #27 syndrome.....

Defies my understanding! it really does....

I've just looked at a newbie Seller making some classic newbie mistakes so I'm bumping this thread.....

Not sure whether this is on the list.......

W h e n t h i n k i n g o f c l e v e r w a y s t o e n s u r e t h a t y o u r i t e m s c a n n o t b e f o u n d t h e n y o u c o u l d a l w a y s u s e t h i s t y p e o f s p a c i n g i n y o u r t i t l e s.

Makes the items safe from keyword searchers as well as making the listing look like it has been compiled by a very bored 5 year old.

(there is a seller doing this.....)
