I have crossed over from the darkside.

[FallenDarkAngel]

Hi everyone. *Waves*

It's a bit more lively over here these days isn't it.

So how many of you have crossed over from the darkside?

*Wonders if she knows anyone here*

[Vonz]

Hi Fallendarkangel

Me! Me! Though to be honest it's been a while coming since I got hit by some keyword spam report monkey's over a year ago, and have been annoyed with fleeBay ever since.

Buy the Seller+ Lifetime, it's a steal!

I really like it.

Hi Fallen Angel best of luck.
I still use the darkside but things are moving along nicely here.

[merlin]

i`m known over there but i`m not allowed to mention them because they get disgruntled and very defensive

[FallenDarkAngel]

Hi again everyone! *big smile*

I think I know one of you at least.

Well more of a seen you around kind of know.

Where are the smilies hiding on here?

Hi go to the top here and click on CP, scroll down to settings & options choose edit options scroll down to the bottom miscelaneous options choose enhanced interface then save that should get your smilies :)

[FallenDarkAngel]

Thank you Minx.

[kittyblackcat]

Hi..yep I was over on the darkside

Staying here now..its much nicer

:D

[kengillam]

Hi FallenDarkAngel and welcome, the more the merrier, :) I left the Darkside a couple of years ago, OK to help you get started add a signature link to your posts so us nosey lot have an easy link to your items whilst reading the forums, read this thread http://helpdesk.ebid.net/showthread.php?t=100959 then fill in some info on Your About Me Page so people know about you as a seller. Perhaps buy a few things to kickstart your feedback over here, always looks better than a zero, ( I have some nice cheap prints ;)) have a look at my listings to see how I dealt with the zero feedback problem when I started.

Then email all YOUR (not Greedbay's they are a venue, they keep telling us) customers, and tell them where you are, give them a link to your listings. Grab the records while you can and from paypal records as well. That should keep you busy for a bit, and shout if you need a hand. Additional body parts incur a small fee ;) Oh and finally read the forums there is a lot of useful information on here.

These threads may help opening a store.

Thanks for your help Kengillam.

[FallenDarkAngel]

Well, this was short but sweet.

I'll catch you again soon.

Thanks for all of your welcomes.

[marmalade8a]

I'm a darksider still but the way my sales and traffic is going over there it won't be long before I start spending my ebay fees on google adwords

[Lush_Designs]

Hi I'm mostly over here but still over there, gradually getting more stuff listed here. But still need to sell some bits and bobs there regretfully.

I'm in the process of making us an MSN group up too to help promote our shops within the MSN community, so keep an eye out for that to enter your shop :)

It's coming along very nicely so far :)

[cornishmaid1961]

A warm welcome FallenDarkAngel. Hope you will soon feel at home here. I was over there but came back to eBid full time at the end of February. It's a great site and coming along in leaps and bounds now. If you need any help just give a shout on the forums there is usually somebody around to give some words of wisdom ! :D

[Spyder1942]

i was over there for 8 years.happy here now.best of luck op.

[TexasAda]

Welcome, FallenDarkAngel, from another eBoy ship jumper, and i don't mean a rat leaving a sinking ship. This place is so clear and clean compared to the Titanic. Hope you enjoy your time here and thrive.

[brightmount]

Hello, I'm new. I have just jumped ship and joined you over here. I hear it's a much friendlier place. My username over there was different to this one. Got to navigate my way around a bit and get a feel for things, but hope it will soon feel like home.

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

i am updating this as much as i can when finding things so please be patient and follow all thats on here already

[photopheline34]

Hi darkangel.... I too am from the other side!

Have been on ebid for about 6 months, but only created this buying ID yesterday. It's doing my head in over there, so here's hoping ebid comes on in leaps and bounds.

I know a few people (well, 'know' of them) here that I recognise from Q&A.

You won't recognise me, cos this is a different name completely! ;)

[mcstudioart]

Hi there me too, (had a different user name there though) hopefully selling here will be a happier experience !!! cheers K

[fudgeheaven]

Hiya.
I kept the same user name for obvious reasons. :)

Welcome and fingers crossed this place takes off.

[kaylacrafts]

Me too fudgey ;)

[bluebedouin]

.....
Have been on ebid for about 6 months, but only created this buying ID yesterday....
If you've been on eBid with another ID and created this one as well, it might be a good idea to delete one.;)We would hate to see your account suspended before you've even started.:eek:

[ChameleonSystems]

Hello FallenDarkAngel and welcome :D

Hope you enjoy your stay. Get yerself the seller+ and list as much as you can for free, watch you choose the right listing options in your defaults. I use gallery mostly now cus it looks better for the buyer and the fee is only 2% fvf :D

Sales rely on you promoting yourself, so read all the info on promoting your eBid stores/listings. Also offer an incentive to all your feepay customers. Its cheaper to sell here, so you can afford a small discount to people from over there.

[kengillam]

Crumbs all these new people, welcome , when will I get time to look at all your listings!
