On eBid today there are just three, but that’s in a category spammed with toner and chips!

Tazbar is just as bad with none! :shock:

However, the issue with eBid as far as I am concerned is that there are NO BUYERS. If you can find me half a dozen sellers who are making a full time living on eBid, I will happily move some listings over there and try it for myself. <s>Oh, I won't. You don't yet have a French site. </s> No, strike that, it's the curse of eBid's weirdo URLs. Their French site is at http://fr.ebid.net/ . And it's apparently in English.

My husband was an avid Ebay seller a few years back until it became too expensive.Fees are far less at Ebid.The site is very easy to navigate and finding what your after is a painless and quick process. I just wish more Ebayers would switch over or at least give Ebid a trial run Ebid in my humble opinion, is far superior in comparison with Ebay nowadays.

Lot cheaper than the big site. As for more sales on the ebay site, for some sellers this is no longer the case since UK/US visibility by default was removed in Feburary, continous tests, changes, glitches. clustered sales. ( items going to certain geographic location both in the UK, Internationally. Buyers are also complaining that they find it more complicated to search out the items. The off ebay advertisements take buyers away from the ebay sellers items. The difference with Ebid is I do not pay high fees over & over for re-lists that have very little chance of a sale due to the above changes. There are some good ebay sellers that have moved to Ebid to sell their items. Items on Ebid are often offered for sale a lot cheaper than on the bigger site. Ebid do really need to push forward with a big advertising campaign, while there are so many disgruntled ebay sellers, buyers. Ebid is now getting a lot easier than ebay to list on.

Number of auctions is meaningless if nothing is selling. I think, speaking from experience - I used to try to sell on Ebid myself - that DOUBLE the number of sales may indeed be 2 x 1, which is why its unpublished.
