Hi all,
I just joined ebid and listed 3 items to start with. I am an ex-ebayer and I'm glad I found this site as a viable alternative. I have a feeling with recent changes to the bay there will be more sellers following me here.
I have looked at several options but ebid seems to be the most user-friendly of all and I will recommend it to all my friends (already sent some emails).

Keep up the good work ebid! May you live long and prosper ;-)

Hey, I'm new to eBid as well, and I have to say it is more friendly than the other place I auction (I won't mention any names, but I'm sure you all know where I'm talking about).

I have opened up my store on eBid as well and I have had lots of hits but no buyers, yet. I sell 100% Coach items and other authentic goods, and hope to excel on this auction format.

So far, eBid has made me feel very welcomed, it's user friendly and I hope that more people will join and become a part of eBids community.

I have big expectations here on eBid and hope that everyone will give me a try. I wish everyone well and a happy & prosperous sell!!!

http://auctionchex.com/escrow-s.html escrow service for higher priced items USE IT ESPECIALLY BUYERS

escrow fees see here http://auctionchex.com/efees-s.html

remember you need to do this to get your items onto google
Google doesn't accept items that are auction only, they have to have a BuyNow price,but they can have an auction price as well.

eBid upload ALL eligable items to google products 6 times a month,

To qualify for uploads items need to be:
1) Legal
2) have a BuyNow price
3) Have at least 7 days remaining OR are On First Bid OR are Run Until Sold at 5am on the 8th, 18th and 28th of each month
i use mostly run until sold with bin price

combining postage on multiple buys
if you go to send invoice it will ask if you want to add the other item tick this and then reduce the amount for postage charges on either one ,
you can add your signature to emails using your buddy point link
(from myebid) click on buddy points , scroll down and copy paste to your email signature
also add the buddy points signature to your auction descriptions has someone may click your link through google it will give them incentive to join and buy tell them it is free to join

good luck from dave & all others who compiled this list

Hi to the newcomers make yourself at home and just shout if you need a hand , there are plenty of tips about selling on here.

[TiasTreasures]

I have to agree, this is a great place to move to! I'm also a refugee from you-know-where. Just getting started, and it's going to take forever to move 400 items, but I think it's going to be worth it in the long run.

Also, I really want to thank whoever added the newest helpful feature. I just added a bunch of pictures to my gallery . . . . and it copied the titles from my computer! Typing in the title for each picture was time-consuming, especially when adding similar items, so I really appreciate this.

for exporting fb use http://auctionfb.com/

I would suggest http://www.repatoo.com as an alternative to that. Looks to be more useful if you sell on more than one site.
