nothing strange about it, I started with ebay almost 6 years ago, lost the will 12 months ago, now I only list a few items on the cheap listing days, with links back to ebid,
its a win/win for me,

and I dont sell a lot, per numbers, but value is quite high,

and with regard to NEEDING on ebay, to sell on EBID,
I dont, I already had feedback on EBID before I Implemented the link to my ebay feedback,

all it does is show peeps I am not NEW to internet auction sites,
I am also a member of tazbar, but dont use it,
not enough exposure in my line,

looked a Amazon , same there,

so I can only talk from my own experiences,

ON EBID I run 4 stores and not paying through the nose, to keep them there week after week,

LESS fees, more profit, and by the way things are going, I expect there will be more peeps along the way,
