EBID on the up!

[PCPO]

Hi, all how are you? so what can i say, im currently a powerseller on EBay, and since they thought it was a good idea to introduce the seller not allowed to leave negs or neuts, and put on a crappy search everyone is complaining, there are masses of EBay powersellers making thier way over here, theres actually a 5 page thread on it on the powerseller discussion forum about it, and the amount of people making the move or planning to is unreal, pretty much all the pages are people saying they're going to move or asking about EBid etc

hopefully there should be alot more to choose from with alot more buyers, personally i've just got my first cd on here and have listed, aswell as included a crafty link on the EBay auction to the EBid one offering the product at a lower price!

I really hope you execs don't bend us over like EBay did for making your business a success!

Hello and welcome,

I joined after moving from thiefbay 3 weeks ago and have had 13 sales:D

Best move I ever made, people are really friendly and helpful:)

[cornishmaid1961]

:D Hi Jon, A warm welcome to eBid. I made the move across at the end of February. Was only a small bronze power seller but every listing helps here to make Ebid flourish and prosper ! The choice of items here has got much better over the last few months. With the new search system over there mucking things up yet again I hope the buyers will soon be flocking across!

When you have settled in put a signature link to your listings so everybody can have a nose. This thread will help you.

Hi Jon, welcome to ebid we are really on the up with all the newbies coming in plenty of sellers who are also buyers best of luck to you :)

[merlin]

if your serious then don`t make the mistake of most who join
take time to read how to promote your stores
promoting yourself is the key to sales here

[maggielou]

Welcome Jon.
Everybody here is very friendly and helpful.:)

[redmerlin777]

Welcome Jon
Another refugee here and yes you are right. Although my sales havenot been galloping in yet I have noticed the numbers of people viewing my items more than doubling in number since I started listing 3 weeks ago.

You are right, this is a much better proposition and everyone is sooo friendly and helpful.
I hope we see you and everyone else going from strength to strength.

What is so wonderful here is the sense of freedom and optimism.....I am really enjoying selling again.... even listing has become less of a chore.

So once again welcome and here's to a bright future.

[techystar]

pretty much all the pages are people saying they're going to move or asking about EBid etc



you must be reading a different thread from me

[millhousesilks]

Hello Jon & Welcome to Ebid.

I've only moved here 3 weeks ago, The people are Terrific here, great advice and they answer your questions and concerns within the hour. I'm working on building my store from the bottom again but see great potential in this site and those who run it.
I have a lot to learn but at least I know I'm not alone and their is so much information and step by step instructions that i'm sure it will all come together.

Again Welcome and Best Regards
sherri

[soulscape100]

Hi Jon and welcome.
I moved across about a month ago and have been busy learning the site and getting my store and listings started.
I will be emailing my feebay customer base in the next week or so. I think as soon as we start converting our customer bases to EBID the cracks will really start showing at that other place. We built it, we can boll*cks 'em up.

[kengillam]

Hi Jon and welcome, as already suggested there are plenty of tips about selling on here, overcoming the zero feedback is the first problem, buying a few things can get you kick started. Also fill in some info about yourself on your About Me page, I know this is probably trying to tell granny to suck eggs, but it can get overlooked. Any problems just shout.

[redmerlin777]

Just to demonstrate that ebid's on the up, people are moving over and Merlin's advice on working hard promoting your stores.. ..

I have had a bid from one of my darkside customers this afternoon and an email from another about another of my items....

Such sound advice from the "Old timer's" here, take time to listen to their advice, read the help boards for "How to..." & "Where is it?".....advice and Mither everyone you know, family, friends and customers.....:D

It WORKS!!!!:)

Hello OP I'm from warrington too and it's raining :mad:

[SalusLibrorum]

Lets hope the weather stays up there then, it's been bright and sunny all day today. ;) .

[Lush_Designs]

Rained all day here in west yorkshire, hope the weather cheers up for the weekend :(

I read a funny thread on the other side a little while back, someone was promoting eBid and the feebay possy squad were straight on the thread as usual, saying are they still buying off each other over there, or something to that effect, and generally making out that nothing sells.

Just made me laugh! What exactly do they do over there? Buy off each other by any chance! Durrr :confused:

[merlin]

:Dposted twice so deleted first one

:D:D

[merlin]

well i have had plenty of zero feedback buyers so i guess them from there must be here buying pmsl cos nowt left to buy over there unless your lucky and hit the please find me a item i don`t want button and it gives you something you do want

type in jag on there now

and it gives you a man dressed in drag clothes

[deesignerstore]

Hi Jon, welcome to the nice site.

Good luck with your sales, I've had a couple of sales but need to get the business moving a bit better. Hopefully I'm going to start spending a lot more time promoting in the next couple of weeks and will see where it goes from there.

BS getting told off *I'm sure he's used to it* :D

I was simply stating a fact

there is only one thread that matches the OPs description

and it doesnt read to me the way it seems to read to the OP

Masses would be a huge overestimation

Having a different veiwpoint put on here will do the place good.

[jeweleffects]

Hi, all how are you? so what can i say, im currently a powerseller on EBay, and since they thought it was a good idea to introduce the seller not allowed to leave negs or neuts, and put on a crappy search everyone is complaining, there are masses of EBay powersellers making thier way over here, theres actually a 5 page thread on it on the powerseller discussion forum about it, and the amount of people making the move or planning to is unreal, pretty much all the pages are people saying they're going to move or asking about EBid etc

hopefully there should be alot more to choose from with alot more buyers, personally i've just got my first cd on here and have listed, aswell as included a crafty link on the EBay auction to the EBid one offering the product at a lower price!

I really hope you execs don't bend us over like EBay did for making your business a success!

Jon

Hi Jon! Welcome to the family! Our motto is: There is no such thing as a stupid question, so feel free to ask all you want, there is always someone here to help you out. We are a persistent lot and genuinely want everyone to succeed here. The more sellers that join, the more items we have available, the more buyers will come. And as you've already noticed, even the site's owners pitch in at times. If you have any serious concerns that you feel can't be resolved on the forums then just contact support@ebid.net and they will do their best to help you out (yes, you read correctly, they are real people with real responses, no canned carp). Also remember, sellers are buyers and buyers are sellers :D

[ChameleonSystems]

Hello Jon and welcome to eBid :D
Lots of good advice on these forums. There is a whole section on promoting your listings. Sales have picked up here and that is due to lots of buyers coming over, from ex-feepayers customer lists. So list loads, set up your pitch and email all your feepay customers. Make an offer of cheaper items over here, you can't fail.

Gazza: thank you :D We all like a nice friendly forum, presents a positive image. That is something we all like about eBid.

[PCPO]

oh god, i walk in from work and theres 4 pages to get through


ok, ok, not masses..to whoever said its an overestimation, currently theres 5ish pages, thats not including all the people that have said they're moving in different topics or moved already

thanks for the welcome everyone, its much appreciated, as for the getting over the first feedback thing, well thanks to my crafty link right at the top of my EBay auction, i sold one of my items today for 37GBP! and none on EBay!

Fantastic news lets hope the second sale follows soon. You have the right approach! It's different to greedbay as it's a smaller site and promotion is the main thing to help your sales. Good luck.

[PCPO]

it is indeed, when i get a spare moment i will update my info and sig etc

the best thing about the product i sell for Ebid is theres lots of mums buying it for their children and as you will know mums always want a good deal! i just hope 5GBP off the EBay auction is enough to encourage them!

[maplegin]

welcome Jon, hope you will do well, its a very helpfull & friendly and theres always someone who help you out on the forum

[Lyndasgems]

A big Welcome to Ebid Jon :)

[jeweleffects]

PCPO who are you 'over there'? would like to see how you did it :D

[PCPO]

ill message you, id rather not give my username out.....there might be EBay insiders on here, who may report my auction for having an external link....not that id ever do that! *cough*

Hi Jon

Welcome to eBid - although it looks like I am a little late, as many got there before me.

I was on the Dark side today :o :o :o (Sorry but couldn't find what I wanted here!) and I was checking out peoples feedback before I bid and Boy 'o' Boy is there a lot of negs being left. One chap had 52 negatives last month alone! :eek:

[PCPO]

exactly! thats why people aren't happy, and what makes it worse is EBay arn't listening to all the complaints! well they are, but on the powerseller board, they're avoiding it:rolleyes:

[CrowlasCrafts]

exactly! thats why people aren't happy, and what makes it worse is EBay arn't listening to all the complaints! well they are, but on the powerseller board, they're avoiding it:rolleyes:

Trouble is you just don't know if the buyers who are leaving the feedback are really telling the truth or porkies, I must admit it put me off bidding on their items as I wasn't sure if I would lose my money or not.

The star system didn't seem to show that this particular seller was that bad - but the feedback was terrible. :rolleyes:

[PCPO]

too true, i really don't know what they were thinking when they introduced the whole sellers can only leave positive or no feedback, they must have drank some strong stuff, personally i only had 1 neutral the whole time i was on there, in the last month i've had two neutrals and one negative, but my star rating is equal to or in some cases well above EBay average:eek: but until they fix it people will either lose thier status or get so much bad feedback they wont sell anything and will just come here, the rest will just get annoyed at EBay and leave, i don't think EBay are aware of how many people will be lost in such a short time until they're monthly profits are worked out;)

[PCPO]
