Hi and welcome!Originally Posted by Capitalphones
Things run a little slower here on eBid than on greedbay but be patient. Tell all your friends, family and previous customers where you are now.
Add your signature here so we can all take a peek at your listings. Just click on User CP (top left corner on the top blue bar) then click on Add Signature (or Edit Signature, can't quite remember the wording) follow the instructions to add your store url. Remember, commercial website links are not allowed on the forums, me page and listing pages.
Good luck and I wish you well!
Hi. Many buyers are wary of buying from zero feedback sellers - especially those who are new to the site and who are selling high value items. i notice you have put a little info on your about me page, however i would expect to see a lot more information from someone trading as a mobile phone company business- including details of where i could check your feedback.
Have you tried purchasing on ebid yet? If not i would recommend you do so, not only because it will help you get your feedback started, but because there are plenty of bargains to be found here!
Finally, ebid and feebay are very different so you should not expect to get the same number of sales by doing the same things. ebid has the advantage of being free to list, so you can gain maximum exposure by listing as many items as possible ( either individually, or for identical products- as dutch auctions). ebid also allows you to accept alternate payment methods such as google checkout- no need to rely on the unsafe and expebsive paypal!. Finally ebid will upload all your listings to google products for you - free of charge (so long as you list for at least 7 days auction length and include a BIN) so the more professional competively priced and attractive you can make your listings, the more likely someone googling for an item will be to buy from you
New too
was funny seeing someone call Ebay greedbay LOL to that...
I dont know how to link or do anything here but wanted to say that I hope this site isn't like Ebay, had the worst experience there, they suspended me for saying I was posting a fake when in fact it was real with serial numbers what a horrible feeling....
any suggestions to that here?

29) What items are banned on eBid (eBid Auction Posting Rules)
Below is not an exhaustive list but you should be aware that you are ultimately responsible for making sure that the buying or selling of an item is legal in the eyes of the law. The following items cannot be posted on eBid. It is at the discretion of eBid if a user is deemed to have broken these posting rules. If so their account will be held and ALL auctions deleted. Please ensure you read through this list, it will save you and us time in the future and answer alot of users complaints similar to "Why have eBid deleted my auctions for no reason". Auctions are NEVER deleted for no reason.
eBooks or any auctions that are selling information only.
Any eBooks or emailable information will be removed.
Items with brand names not associated with the product in the title of description
Eg. Do not mention Nike or Adidas in the title or description if your product isn't made by them.
Multiple listings, please use Dutch Auctions
It is not fair on other members to show row after row of the same identical item.
This has an adverse effect on the entire community.
If you want to list multiple identical items please list as a Dutch Auction.
We currently allow one auction, be it a normal or dutch auction, to be placed in a single category. Do not place the same item in many different categories.
Ads/Promotions, Get Rich Quick Schemes, Do Not Bid Auctions, Email for Details, Selling of Links
Listings that are wholly or mainly intended to divert buyers away from the listings themselves.
Listings with links to another website and/or where you are offering the same item for sale

Listings that require bidders to participate in raffles or lotteries.
Listings that ask users to purchase information on how to receive products.

Incorrect Categorisation
Placing auctions in irrelevant categories is not allowed.
Recopied media
Copies, dubs, duplicates, or transfers of books, music, videos, software, images, etc., are prohibited. Just as you cannot sell a photocopied book without the author's permission, you cannot sell copies or duplicates of videos, music, video games, software, photos, etc. Likewise, you cannot sell transferred media--whether laserdisc to video, CD-ROM to cassette tape, or from the Internet to any digital format--unless explicitly approved by the author
Music
Recopied music in any format is prohibited. Bootlegs, unauthorized live concerts, unauthorized soundboard recordings, unauthorized merchandise, etc., is not permitted
Television programs
Copies of television programs, including pay-per-view events are prohibited. Commercially produced and licensed copies of television programs are permitted. Unauthorized television programs and programs never broadcast, unauthorized scripts, unauthorized props, and screeners are prohibited.
Movies
Copies of movies (VHS, DVD, etc.) may not be sold. Also, movies that have been transferred from one format to another are not permitted. For example, NTSC to Pal and Pal to NTSC conversion are not permitted. Unreleased/prereleased movies, screeners, trailers, unpublished and unauthorized film scripts (no ISBN number).
Software
Software that has been copied or duplicated in any format is prohibited. Additionally, academic, OEM, back-up, fulfillment, promotional, beta (prerelease), unauthorized freeware/shareware, and "softlifted" software versions are prohibited
Video games
Recopied and transferred video games are prohibited. Mod chips, Seller disks, video game emulators, Sega bootdisks, game enhancers, unauthorized video game compilations, and accessories are also prohibited.
Offensive material
What we deem "offensive". eBid may at its discretion, remove items and refund listing fees. eBid reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of listings posted to our site. There can be cultural differences and sensitivities. Please be careful to post items that are appropriate for our global community.
Adult
Adult listings must be placed in the WHATEVERS LEFT > ADULT section
Various legal statutes exist regulating the sale and distribution of pornography and adult material, and by listing any such item at eBid you indicate your intent and ability to abide by all applicable laws
In the UK any material which is in breach of the criminal law, including material judged to be obscene under the current interpretation of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 cannot be listed under any circumstances
R18’s or unclassified titles cannot be listed under any circumstances. See http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ for further information if in any doubt. R18’s can only be sold in specially licensed cinemas, or supplied in licensed sex shops, and to persons of not less than 18 years in the UK
Real estate
Real estate laws and commission structures differ dramatically from state to state. Because of the legal complexities regarding the sale of real estate, real estate is not permitted for sale.
The sale of alcoholic beverages
Alcohol is highly regulated in the UK and US. For example, sellers of alcoholic beverages must be licensed, and must take steps to ensure that they do not sell their products to minors. Due to the many difficulties inherent in Internet alcohol sales, eBid UK will not permit the listings of wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages on its website.
There may be instances where the particular collectable container is unopened and still contains an alcoholic beverage.
The sale of collectable containers will be permitted as long as the following conditions are met:
The value of the auctioned item is in the collectable container, not its contents. Thus bottles of wine are not permitted because their value is based on the wine in the bottle, and not the bottle itself.
The auction description should state that the container has not been opened, but that any incidental contents are not intended for consumption.
The item must not be available at any retail outlet, and the container must have a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of the alcohol in the container.
Sellers should take steps to ensure that the buyer of these collectables is of lawful age in the buyer and seller's jurisdiction (generally 18 years old in the UK, 21 years old in the US).
Buyers and sellers must ensure that the sale complies with all applicable laws and delivery regulations in carrying out the transaction.
