We are still seriously lacking items though there are only so many hand made cards etc that people want, eBid does not yet have many items, for example only two Canon DSLR's and a couple of Camera/Lens kits and they are seriously overpriced. I daresay others could point to similar examples. Until these matters are addressed what is there that is going to attract the buyers. If an extensive advertising campaign were implemented the buyers may come, look, leave dissappointed never to return. You normally only get one bite of the cherry at this sort of thing.
