Thread: EBID? How many auctions do we have worldwide?

    Pink, the true worldwide figures are on https://www.eBid.net not https://uk.eBid.net

    I cant see why anyone would restrict themselves by not doing so - regardless of weight.

    If someone sees an item and wants it bad enough, cant get it in their own country, they will pay for postage and purchase from overseas.

    No harm in listing it that way - you just never know.
    That's ok for light and small stuff.


    But a lot of stuff is bulky and heavy. EG I have a book Grays Anatomy - It weighs 1.060kg gross packed weight.
    There is one on offer from UK appearing in US listings P&P is £11 (Price of book is not the issue but it's £34.00)
    Same/similer book in USA listed at $15 P&P is free.

    There's my reasoning right there.
    You can't compete with the domestic market for run of the mill stuff!
    Unusual and unique products are fine. Nothing out of the ordinary is a waste of effort. IMO

    SO I SAY AGAIN!
    WHAT IS THE TRUE NUMBER OF LISTINGS WORLDWIDE?
    WHAT ARE THE TRUE NUMBER OF LISTINGS BY COUNTRY?
    No Craig was correct he showed the 'worldwide' figures from the non geographical home page http://www.ebid.net/ which is the total listings from anywhere in the world.

    The U.K. home page is here showing the U.K. figures http://uk.ebid.net/ which also include listings being offered to the U.K. from other countries.

    I'll say this again as it seems to have been missed:

    I list everything worldwide regardless of weight and let the buyers choose. I don't see the point in restricting visibility. Even if a buyer doesn't want to pay the postage on *that* item, they could browse from there to something more affordable. Why would you want to restrict your audience?

    Worldwide Figure = 2,642,493
    UK figure = 2,071,897
    USA figure = 2,137,677

    So in the out of the worldwide figures 570,596 listings are available to the Uk from other eBid sites, from the worldwide figures 504,816 listings are available from other eBid sites.

    Also I would quite like to add that I don't quite see where the word 'effort' comes into it ???! All you have to do is type in a postage rate and pick up a roll of CN22 and airmail stickers from the post office ! My last feedback just come in is from an Australian buyer so well worth the 'effort' I would say.

    I cant see anything in your reasoning at all that would produce a figure of 80% of listings on ebid not being available worldwide.

    If you go to www.eBid.net write down the number shown, then go to each eBid site and write down the number of each it will show how many listings are available to each country/continent. Then minus the amount shown from all the eBid sites, I think it should show the correct number of listings that are officially live for each country.

    However the number shown on www.eBid.net is the correct live auction numbers from around all the eBid sites.

    Not quite...

    That shows that of the 2,642,493 items listed on eBid world wide, 570,596 (23%) are NOT available to UK buyers and 504,816 (19%) are NOT available to US buyers.

    Around 80% of listings on the UK side of eBid ARE available worldwide.
