I don't trade very much but have a few thing to sell and thought why not offer them on ebid as ebay are way too expensive. Anyway there are a couple of issues with ebid listing proccess that might require improving.
After pictures description the next stage of listing is postage. Why is this stage postage. Surely it should be the price of the item. Postage is a formality, price is a neccesity.
The selling options / price is way understaed. You can almost miss the buying price option as it is in a line of options and doesn't really stand out. I think the selling options should be presented much bolder and clearer.
Back to pictures. It shows the option to upload 4/5 pictures in the listing page but at the end of the listing it says pictures at 3p each. If yo are alloewd 4/5 pictures then it should say so in the pictures box that 4/5 pictures are free. After that each addition picture is 3p ( if that is the case).
My final gripe goes back to postage. Why is the postage included in the final price?? for example I have a Laptop for sale. I would prefer collection, but have offered postage for those who cannot collect. The final price, including postage, does not reflect this so i suggest that postage be renmoved from the final selling price as peaple can suss that out for themselves. Mybe a fair postage policy can be implemented to ensure excessive postage is not an issue.
I have been a member for years and used to post regularly but lost interest in ebd as it wasn't moving and i wasn't trading. I hope it remain and improves to be a real contender against another online auction site.
