    Welcome to our July 2018 Newsletter


    News from Gazza


    As the World Cup hots up with the end of the group stages so does the weather, we hope you are all keeping cool and enjoying the great matches coming out of Russia. We've got some great signed game worn shirts from the official US Soccer teams that are ending very shortly if you wish to make a bid. See the section below.


    We're proud to announce eBid has been given the BEST VALUE ONLINE AUCTION accolade for 2018. Many thanks to everyone who has helped us to grow our marketplace. Don't forget that you can take advantage of our newsletter offer for SELLER+ Lifetime upgrades for just $49.99 currently.

    Our Aussie users can currently take advantage of a special offer for users coming to us from Quicksales.com.au who have announced they will be closing down soon. Sign up for our SELLER+ Lifetime offer for just A$20.00 for the next couple of days.

    June has been the best ever month for the number of visitors generated from paid-for shopping engines, most sellers are now seeing their items uploaded after getting to grips with the requirements including BRAND and BARCODE values when listing items for sale together with a BUYNOW price. Your items are being promoted hundreds of thousands of times a day now on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping. Many thanks to everyone who allowed adverts to be shown when browsing eBid after we mentioned last month how it helps us promote your items more and more.

    We've had to make a few changes to the payment providers that can be used on eBid. Changes to Skrill and PPPay availability have been made this month. We still advise everyone to use PayPal where possible.

    Some new hardware has been added in the last couple of days to help with the millions of images we are now uploading every week. Apologies for the brief down-time we experienced with image uploads recently. I'm glad to report we are now back up to full speed with an even higher capacity.

    Updates this month :

    UPDATE - Extra PayPal checks added. Sellers removing PayPal address from their account will no longer show checkout to buyers
    UPDATE - Extra PayPal checks added. Errors will show for eBid Spreadsheet and Ninja Lister uploads when no PayPal address is present and option selected
    UPDATE - Added "Reposted" column to Listings I Ran to help with clarity when processing reposts and deletions
    UPDATE - Main product attribute used as a subcategory to some categories. "Music > Vinyl" & "Video Gaming > Video Games" as examples
