    eBid May 2018 Newsletter


    News from Gazza


    A warm welcome to our latest newsletter offering. First off I would like to say a huge thank you to the beta testers who have been helping us out with our brand new product variation system. We've been adding more and more product attributes over the last month and are pleased to announce that nearly everything has gone to plan. More and more of your favourite categories will continue to be enhanced over the coming weeks and months, if you have a category you would like to see upgraded sooner then let us know.

    Some enhancements to our website have just been uploaded, a few design and layout improvements that we hope you like. eBid users who have larger screens (monitors or laptops of 1080p or more) and also those of the smaller variety (mobile phones) will see the biggest differences. More real estate is now used on larger screens bringing with it more search results and bigger photos. We've added an automatic redirect to your own country's homepage when entering the www.ebid.net URL now, skipping the extra click. Changing countries can now be done via the top right-hand corner.
    As mobile use is increasing every day we have been spending a lot of time improving the eBid mobile website, making it smoother, faster, easier to view and also focusing on ease of use when using touch instead of pointer or mouse. Point your phone's browser to https://www.ebid.net/uk/ and check it out for yourself.

    April saw us introduce the latest version of the eBid Ninja Lister (v2.13). If you are one of its users then make sure you update to the latest version, there are some speed improvements and also some fixes for importing from Amazon data files.

    Over the years we have sent out thousands of eBid t-shirts to our SELLER+ Lifetime subscribers, we hope you liked them and wear them with pride when you can. From this month onwards we will be swapping our free gift from an eBid t-shirt to an eBid cap. Just sign up to our Lifetime offer (follow the link near the top of this email to get yourself a discount) and we'll get one off to you asap.

    More and more people are making use of the eBid API to handle their sales on eBid, thousands of new listings are started everyday and even more current listings are updated with prices and quantities. Many thanks to everyone who has helped us get it running as smooth as silk. Anyone interested can head over to our developer centre at https://ebid.3scale.net to find out more.

    Privacy Changes and GDPR


    You've probably been receiving a few emails from other online platforms referring to the new EU rules and regulations that are coming into play later this month. At eBid, we strive to make our policies in relation to privacy as clear and transparent as possible. As part of this commitment, we'll be updating our Terms and Conditions and also our Privacy Policy to handle the change that will be coming into effect on May 25, 2018.

    The main gist of the changes provide a clearer understanding how we communicate with you, what information we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use and store it, and when and with whom we share it. We are also adding the ability to access, download, and request deletion of your personal information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
