Good morning Pastime,
I did think about the possible cost to ebid and either on the "GS" thread or another I mentioned this and inviting The Management to comment. They didn't, so I assumed that...
That's great!
But from what I've found, if you don't keep 'nudging' GS it will forget you and you'll be replaced by someone else who uses GS more often or who gets more views on their ads.
I've...
Have you started to use the PYA board to increase your visibility yet?
I don't know anything about the computer parts you sell but have you searched GS for some of them and made your ad. titles...
Thank you for taking the time to do that, it's good to know that my stuff can be found on other google sites. I've concentrated on Google Shopping because that's where ebid uploads our ads. too. ...
Everything I list is also "exempt", and my items appear on GS. I thought that 'exempt' just meant they didn't need a Bar Code and by adding it got around the requirement for one in order to be...
Neither do I Bill, @ FortesMentum made a good point when they said on the "I've returned to find..." thread, "...the US market is bigger than the UK..." (roughly).
When I realised that the numbers...
@FortesMentum.
To add to the previous post. If you think you've got GS working for some of your listings, how did you do that?
Did you try anything from the "GS" thread?
Anything that you'd...
Well that's a good start and something to build on, as I said above and in the "GS" thread, if you want GS to work for you, you have to do some work to get it to do so. If you ignore it and never...
I hope it helps :)
It's something everyone should do IMO and I do it all the time. If my items aren't visible but other similar are I look at their titles to see what I've missed !
@FortisMentum.
Hi, we've spoken on the other site in the past. Yes things are slower here, to be expected IMO because the site is much smaller and traffic slower, but since Lock-down I've been...
Yes, that's true we've had an unseasonably cold northern wind for weeks so Spring felt quite Wintery. Now people are getting out more my sales have stopped.
You say you can find quite a few of...
A pretty little multi-faceted salmon pink trinket bowl. Originally from a dressing table set and probably of European origin.
It's now May '24 and I'm still viewing a couple of my items twice a week and still seeing "Ebid - theElench" on the "Art Deco Glass" search on GS and on a few related searches like "Bagley Glass".
...
Sadly that seems to be a common theme on all the boards I post on.
Obay.uk allegedly has millions of buyers and sellers, their boards used to be busy with replies posted minute by minute. Now...
I think you're right and isn't this part of the minus numbers of listings 'problem' ?
@mintec should consider themselves lucky. At least the summary panel shows Computing and when a would-be...
I must say I find that very strange. IMO the search on ebid is excellent, not distorted by Promoted Listings, key-word based and very intuitive. I often say on the obay boards that the reason I sell...
I think that's very true Bill.
When I started listing glass regularly every week-end it didn't seem to make much difference until I reached about a hundred listings. After that sales became more...
It also helps if buyers can see your ads. on google shopping. Have you read the "Help" pages on the criteria for getting them uploaded? Do they comply? and can you find them?
If you can't find...
But you're replying to a seller who joined this month and I've seen questions from a couple more recently, plus a few more returning after long breaks. There are probably even more who haven't come...
Just my guess but as it's so regular it could be something to do with auto-re-lists ?
I just searched for "Art Deco Glass" and all the pictures seem to be there.
I did this weeks listing earlier, checked it had gone live and all my photos were as they should be.
Then I did a new...
It moves up and down between about 2.8M and 3.2M quite regularly but I have absolutely no confidence that it's showing anything like accurate figures.
Look underneath at the categories. I sell...
Hi Marie,
I've tried to send you another PM. I've never been able to fathom how ebid's PM system works, it seems fiendishly complicated so you may well not have received it.
Dave.
Good morning Marie,
yes, I saw it last night and it had one reply already. Apparently first made in 1936 up to the 50's. I'll leave it until this evening to reply, GMB goes all round the world so...
What a truly stunning lamp !!!!
Do you have any further info. about it ? I've never seen one in purple and rarely seen other pieces in that colour. Any idea of its age?
I think you should put...
When it goes quiet I also click on a few of my listings on GS. Since I replied in February with "a good start to the year with 4 sales in Jan." Well on the way to my target of 30+ by years end,...
Yes, in your own time. You can always come back with more questions when you're more familiar with the boards. I'd recommend "The Kitchen Table" and "Plug Your Auctions" to start with :)
Hi and welcome to ebid.
There has always been discussion about bots inflating views on ebid and no-one really knows the answer. One thing I can tell you is that on my "Plug Your Auction" (PYA)...
Quiet yes, but not a ghost town. I'd describe it as being calmer and more tranquil than the other one I go to and only last week I added a couple of replies to a discussion that had meandered onto...
I agree, can't fault them when it comes to resolving technical problems quickly. But categories are something else, still only 3 visible for glass on the Home Page "Browse Ebid" panel.
