(and why I remain here since 2008):
If you create a website from a company ie GoDaddy, you are given the tools to create your pages. The company does not advertise your website, you have to go out there and work at it yourself (all the time paying a fee for your website on a monthly basis) which becomes quite costly if you are financially on a tight budget. Plus you have to make sure you make enough sales to cover the website costs.
Ebid, depending on your membership ie Platinum, (one time payment for lifetime) give you all the tools you need to create your 5 free stores with unlimited listings and up to 15 images per listing, for free, your choice of shipping options and payment options, your selling terms and conditions etc. Basically, everything you really need to sell with a 2% FVF on items sold. That's it. For me, it's akin to having a website (almost) but with some very plausible legal/liability restrictions in place to protect the Ebid owners, plus they are not constantly bombarding us with new stupid rules every 5 minutes and restricting us in our selling. I treat my membership as if it was my own website and I have to go out there in the big WWW and advertise my goods (which can be a lot of fun for me as I can pick and choose how and when) and I don't have to worry about any monthly website fees.
Now, if you want Ebid to advertise, which countries should they do it in? Just the UK? or just USA? What about Canada? What about all the other countries taking part in Ebid? It is going to be very costly if they involve multiple countries. So now the question remains, what are you willing to pay Ebid to advertise for you/country? Listing fees? Higher FVFs? Monthly store fees? What about investors who will eventually want their share of the loot? Do we really want to go down the eBay route or Etsy route where once, they were successful bidding and/or handcrafted selling sites but now bombarded with a gazillion companies listing cheap outbidding/craft items pushing the small businesses out because of higher costs.
For me, Ebid is perfect, it gives me all the tools I need, they leave me alone (as long as I don't break the rules), I get to decide when and where I advertise. Plus their customer service is really good. Just last week I had a problem listing a new item, I notified them and within 24hrs (it was about 14hrs) they got back to me and fixed the issue. I know Ebid is not a high-falutin mega technical site, but it is a good solid site for my needs. I don't sell much, but that's ok for me. I can park my listings on Ebid for as long as it takes and not pay an extra penny to do so.
Frankly I am puzzled. The rave acolades Ebid speak of compared to my own experience and that of friends simply do not stack up.
Having some years ago shelled out the initial £50 (but never received the tea-shirt!) I optimistically ventured forth having been a devotee of Ebay for years.
There was a trickle of sucessful sales at first and I still continue to plug Ebid in every Ebay sale - aprox 12,000 100% feedback. But now nothing on Ebid. I am reminded of the definition of an idiot - 'one who keeps repeating the same task hoping for a different outome'. One of my Ebid listed items (with offers) claims to have had over 600 hits - but no takers! As a wager I even listed a brand new £200.00 item for a pound for a short time, I did not lose my bet!!
So, the concept that UK based Ebid is a quasi-scam looms large in my mind again. Statistically, having sold almost 1,000 of just ONE item on Ebay but not a single one on Ebid does not correlate with logical common sense. It is a near statistical impossibility.
So I rest my case. If someone out there can persuade me otherwise, I would be interested to hear from you.
Whether buying or selling online, Ebid is your friend.
I have found Ebid to be an easy way to sell and buy. Buyers will effortlessly find items they are looking for. Support from customer service is second to none . I recommend to both buyers and seller.
Bad service. Products not as described, never ever buy from this company again. I find another ebid store and it's really like ebay company better then this old ebid.
I purchased an item that wasn't delivered. Ebid did absolutely nothing. The supplier didn't respond to messages, I had to get a refund through Paypal. I will never purchase anything from Ebid again
Excellent site. Great support team. Low fees no listing fees. Friendly place to sell on, with far fewer scammers than eBay or similar websites operating. Fair pricing and postage in general offered by sellers.
I paid the beginning fee to get free listings for life a few years ago. I go through fazes listing on ebid as I have never sold anything on this site. Everytime I have questioned it, i get a reply 'your items are on google shopping', i've never known anyone that goes on google shopping. I think not many people know of ebid as they don't advertise, like ebay and vinted. I have sold loads on ebay & sold stuff on vinted within a couple of weeks of opening an account, but am not keen on vinted. Now ebay have dropped the 1000 free listings to 300 per month, I will have to go back on ebid & hopefully sell stuff. It is easy to use ebid, but until I start selling, the £69 I paid for free listing and 2% selling fees is a waste of money.
I paid my platinum membership
fees £69.99 over 2 years ago on ebid and imported over 600 listing from Ebay to ebid.
For more than 2 years, I managed to sell just 2 items on ebid. I also bought a few items too to get the necessary feedbacks.
Recently I couldn't log into my account. I was in contact with ebid constantly to resolve the problem. My feedbacks and my listings have been deleted and my account has been initialised ie zero listing, zero feedbacks. Ebid is demanding another once in a life time membership fees of £69.99 from me again. Not even deciding to express my experience with ebid on Trustpilot made ebid resolve this issue.
Is it worth paying the platinum membership fees if for more than 2 years, I was able to sell just 2 items after listing more than 600 items on the site?
Now the only thing left for me to do, is to get a proof of my payment to ebid from my bank.
