    Exclamation Start Auction Immediately vs. On First Bid

    I am fairly new to eBid and have been reading through "Meetup" and have heard some negatives about using the option of "On First Bid", because ppl assume that ppl just post an auction and then leave. I haven't done that and I also use the logo that Kimbo created that shows the current month. Could you give me feedback for or against the "on first bid" feature. I thought it was more cost effective, maybe I am wrong.
    Kindest Regards,
    Ginger

    I think it comes further down the search list than standard "X days" listings, but before Run Till Sold.

    Actually comes right at the end of search results after RUS.

    The way it goes is:

    X days til end of sale
    X>first bid
    RUS

    My opinion (for what it's worth)
    Is list it for a set time with bid & BIN & put it on for a set number of days.
    That way people 'WILL' see your auction!

    The BIN also gets you onto Google!
