I just wanted to give my observations about eBid as a seasoned eBay Powerseller of some 10 years who has recently discovered eBid.
What you guys have done here is fantastic. Everything is spot-on, from the eBid auction site itself, to the brand, down to the way the service is offered and the fees. The website is far far easier to use than eBay's. You have clearly thought of many ways to make selling as painless and easy as possible.
When you consider the outrageous fees charged on eBay and their Paypal payments monopoly, plus their unfair biased buyer policies, it makes eBid a very attractive alternative marketplace for sellers such as myself that sell low value items in volume.
The only problem is it seems that eBid is just not yet popular enough and doesn't have the established marketplace eBay enjoys. Hopefully given time that will change. As far as I can see, that is the only thing which makes eBay successful, the fact they had a head start and have so many members. When it comes to comparing eBid and eBay, eBid wins hands down.
Perhaps we as a community (and particularly higher profile sellers on eBay such as myself) can do more to encourage buyers here? It would be good to see the community grow and the marketplace flourish so that it becomes a real alternative to eBay.
