Good Morning Crackers!
You have had quite a few responses to your grand entrance. Save yourself some time/energy if you wish to reply to everyone by using the multi-quote button rather than replying to each/any separately. If you don't know how to do that, or which editor you need to be using, then you will just have to ask (nicely) won't you?
I always enjoy these people who know it all without taking any time to see what is happening here.
Relax, friends, Crackheadprices won't be here long.

Lotzabitz -anything that doesn't belong in one of the other shops.
That's the problem Madelaine, more's the pity, people come in expecting instant results and then just disappear again without putting in any effort. If everybody had a bit of sticking power and was prepared to do a little work to make the site work for them then eBid would have a huge selection of goods on offer to attract more buyers.

I agree, it's a chicken and egg thing, many must look here and not finding what they're looking for don't come back, so someone starts selling it and no-one buys so they give up.
How many times have I looked for an item I need and the search returns 0 results, like a few weeks ago when I needed a new U.V bulb. I sell mainly Art Deco, it's a niche area and my taste is not the same as other peoples but I realised last weekend that all by myself (with 80 odd listings) I make up two thirds of that category.
Buyers want variety and as I'm only selling off what I don't want from my collecting I don't have it, so what is there to draw a buyer back to that category?
Things sell differently on different sites and have said on the other places forum that sellers moaning about their stuff not selling should try it here but it falls on deaf ears. I'm sure sales for everyone would improve if there was a greater choice of goods on offer.

The main thing we can do about the range of goods available is to keep listing. The other thing is to remember to search here just in case when we want to buy.

As a USA citizen, I would like to apologize and mention that most of us do not use "crack" and are offended by that and would not buy from anyone with that in their shop title.
Being offensive in the forums does not win many friends so we might need to reread our comments before pushing post.
I have received many helpful tips from others in these forums and am grateful for that.
Many sales in the future for all of us!

The choice of moniker is just as repellent for many in the UK, I think. There's no way I'd consider buying from such a seller, even if they knew how to post in a friendly fashion.
Why wouldn't I? Well, it might be an amusing choice (for some) but it shouts that the seller is utterly clueless about how such a moniker may be perceived.
Top it off, the irony of having no business nous, yet waltzing in and dumping their 'wisdom' about how "it kinda sucks so far" and "It looks like some scam website". Yes, everyone should listen very carefully to Crackhead.
Crackhead: just cool off for a few days, come back (preferably after changing your moniker) and see if you can make a fresh start.

Sup. Welcome to the hood!
I've been in this neck of the woods for a moment. If you decide to stick around for awhile, yull find the place to be on the up and up.
The place is full of great sellers and great buyers. It needs more boots on the ground buyers. I paid for the life time membership soon after starting. Did the math and it was the only thing that made sense to me. Have gotten my investment back multiple times over. Not making a living here though.
Suggestions: Start with platinum listing @ 5 cents each; at least you will have access to needed features. This will give you an opportunity to test the site without breaking the bank.
Fill in your "About Me Page".
Forget special features; have not found it cost effective. Start some listings as 7-10 day listings; and most as RUS. Because you will pay each time they relist.
If you are serious about selling here, would recommend a name change. Get around in the forums; ask for help if needed; don't be too quick to judge the place. Reach out to support, they are the best. Real response from real people.
Hope your sales levels work out for you.
