Guardian readers ahoy

An ideal chance here to get the Ebid word out in a national newspaper: the Saturday Guardian money section has next week's Personal Effects question up, and it's about whether it's viable to make a living on Ebitch.

Perhaps some Ebidders might want to mention Ebitch's recent massive fee hikes, 'glitches', rule changes, payment restrictions, payment holds, FVFs, seller exodus, falling listings/shareprice/sales, in comparison to Ebid...

I'm just sayin'...

The email addy is personal.effects@guardian.co.uk

But.....it is still possible to make a living over there, and making the comparisons with ebid could just backfire............quite easily

Oh, I'm not suggesting to say anything that isn't true or make misleading claims - just to get the name and word out there, increase brand awareness. Probably a lot of people reading won't even be looking to make a living as such - just peeps who sell the odd item when they clear out their home, and aren't even aware of Ebid in the first place. Can't hurt!

I do agree with you is there any chance you could supply a link to the original peice that featured that, Im bored at work and wouldnt mind a gander

It's here, but it's only four lines right at the bottom: they answer last week's question then set the question for next week. So all the huffing and hoo-hah and palaver re: E*** will be next week.

I think it's good just because to a lot of people, E*** is the only option they even know about - still! Doesn't hurt to let them know there are other options out there.
