Make an Offer
We will be launching our "Make an Offer" system in April. It is a major enhancement to the eBid site and will bring with it a whole new dimension to selling online.
The premise is that together with your BuyNow price you will be able to tick a box on the listing form that will allow a potential customer to make you an offer. It will be completely optional, some sellers will not find it useful whereas some will benefit greatly. Really depends on the goods you are selling.
Keep a look out on the Site Update Notifications forum thread for news when it goes live. |
Easter's coming
Naturally Easter means different things to different people. It can be a time of religious contemplation or a fun festival of bunnies and too much chocolate (can you have too much chocolate?), or something that doesn't touch your part of the world except as a word on magazine covers. Whatever it means to you, it's coming soon and if you will be taking part, don't forget to check out eBid items for great ideas on how to get the most out of your Easter. |

Charity Auctions
Every month on eBid our great buyers and sellers promote fund-raising by running a selection of charity auctions in the Your Donation Counts category. The auctions run from the 24th to the 28th of each month, and thousands of pounds are raised every year for a variety of great causes. March's deserving cause was: Fisher House Foundation. Check here for the latest YDC auctions later in the month, and join in the fun? |
Until next month,
Gazza & Mark
