Use Ebay to Advertise EBID!

[ColesArmySurplus]

We have just joined with ebid and are pumped about it!!!! We average about 50 items a month on "the other site". I can't afford to close down the store I have there so this is what I am doing: I put our business card with a note about "our other auction sites" in with the item that I ship. Just a "If you like what you purchased this time, check my auctions at EBID.com" and I list our store name. I figure its just one more way to get the name out there. We do have several loyal, repeat customers who might like a change of pace. Most of them are sellers, too.

The fact is, ebay is big, they get a lot of traffic, and you can find just about anything for the price you want to pay. It is going to take a while to fully get away from there. Chances are, it will always be here wether we like it or not, (just look at Wal-Mart!). But it does not have to be the only place to buy or sell. I think there is room for improvement.

I have actally lowered my prices to list here because I don't have to pay all the fees associated with ebay. There are some items I can take a hit on just to get people hooked here.

The more we let our customers know about the options, the better off we'll all be.

We're glad to be on board.

Hellooooo Donna & a huge welcome to ebid

Putting flyers into parcels is one of the tried & tested means of bringing our customers over here

There are loads of other "scheming" ideas around the forums.....think most of us use more than one

... check my auctions at EBID.com" and I list our store name.

Bzzzt! I sure hope you DON'T send them that!

It's ebid.net. Ebid.com is owned by someone in Florida.

Don't feel bad about it, lots of people make that slip, but it's something that really has to be watched for.

Welcome to eBid!

Hi,
Although I have closed my Ebay shop I do still list postcards on their 5p listing days. I am listing quite a few postcards today which will be promoting Ebid through the wording on my listing. This is what I am putting on my listings. The wording is very big and bold and it is hoped this will bring a lot more people across to Ebid over the next 10 days.

70,000+ POSTCARDS TO VIEW & BUY ON ANOTHER POPULAR AUCTION SITE.


CONTACT ME FOR THE WEB ADDRESS (or Type in the word 'auctions' in Google and look for the 4 letter auction site that reads 'dibe' backwards.

AS JUST ONE SELLER I HAVE 19,000 CARDS ranging from 25p upwards. WE LIST HUNDREDS OF NEW CARDS EVERY DAY. COME AND JOIN US. DON'T MISS OUT ON THAT ELUSIVE POSTCARD

The postcard sellers have real photo's, topographical, subject, foreign, modern and lots of vintage postcards.

New postcard dealers joining all the time

Mos - they might even last 24 hours before getting pulled but well worth the effort.

Thanks Bluefincircle. I have done this before and not one of my listings got pulled throughout the 10 day listing. I only had about 5-10 listings then. This time I already have 150 listings promoting Ebid. Not all my listings are promoting Ebid because if the others get pulled I will still be able to pay for those listings that do. I am a great believer in that if you don't make the effort you don't get anywhere.
Based on the last time I did this on a much smaller scale I am confident that quite a number of people will take a look at Ebid and the obvious opportunities that awaits them.
All the best
Mo.

Not if I can't sell anything, I won't!

And so far, it ain't looking promising!
