I think Ebid is a great place to sell on line, i have been selling on Ebid for a little over a year now and i think its a great auction website, there is an Ebid on line auction site for most countries in the world.
The main reasons why i like Ebid is because the fees for selling are much lower which is a huge plus as it means the sellers make more profit for each item they want to sell.
You can place a basic listing on Ebid with one photo for free and then Ebid take a small 2% or 3% fee only if your item sells.
I think Ebays fees are very high which means the seller makes a great deal less which i think it unnecessary as Ebay have so many sellers and this puts people off selling things on the site.
On Ebay you have to pay a fee to put an item on which can is usually pretty high, you have to pay a fee for when your item sells and you have to pay another fee for if your buyer pays you using Paypal which is a company run by Ebay. Once you have the money in your Paypal account from your buyer you then have to pay another fee to withdraw the funds into your bank account and at the end of all this you end up with very little for your item!
I also feel Ebid seems to be a more friendlier website, for instance when you contact customer services you usually get a response usually within 24 hours which isn’t just computer generated and is always very helpful.
I think the website design is fairly good and i think its easy to find your way around, there are lots of different categories so you can sell almost anything you can think of.
One thing i wasn’t too happy with about Ebid auction site is that its a little more complicated and unnecessarily long winded when placing an auction but this is something you can get used too and also i think more could be put into the general look and design of the website as its not as modern as Ebay.
Ebid is the second largest on line auction site and i think its definitely getting much more popular every day, i think this is mostly due to the fees being much lower than Ebay and Ebid do not have so many strict rules and regulations unlike Ebay.
I know about 20 people that have had their accounts suspended from Ebay and they didn’t even think they had done anything wrong.
Once you have your account suspended on Ebay its extremely hard to get your account back up and running, Ebay request you fax a letter stating you will not list items that do not abide to their rules and regulations again and that you send copies of your passport and lots of other things before they consider that they can reinstate your account, you also have to wait weeks to get a reply back from them, on Ebid you simply have to send them an email to say it was your error and that you will not list that item again.
I think Ebid is a really fantastic site and i would recommend anyone to look into selling on there.
A great site that i think soon will have more members than Ebay.
