Hi folks,
I just registered with ebid. I am a top rated/power seller on ebay with about 70-100 sales per month (roughly $700-1000 monthly gross sales). I am tired of ebay FVF and yesterday ebay announced that as of April 19, the FVF will also include SHIPPING COSTS!!!!!! That did it for me.
Here is my concern- and this may be good- no one else is selling what I sell (law enforcement related accessories).
I don't want to shell out $50.00 for the lifetime seller offer w/o knowing if I will get buyers here. Yes, sellers will flock to ebay alternatives, but what about buyers? I can see the future may belong to ebid if marketing is done correctly, but right now I won't be able to compare sales if I only use the free version- due to limited features.
So I f I only try the ebid "free" or "7 day" version, I won't have a true picture of how my products will do, but I don't have enough faith/knowledge in ebid to invest $50.00 bucks!

I would love to hear any thoughts or suggestions.

Believe me, it's worth the $50 just to have the satisfaction of paying for your membership via PayPal. I'm sure someone at eBay must pay attention to that. What's more, $50 in fees on eBay won't cover $500 in sales. You wouldn't have to sell much to break even.

I just came to Ebid because of all the money it was costing me on E-bay for the same service or better. I sell mostly Harley Davidson parts and I see this as a pretty open market place. I was really having alot of problems with E-bay with people reading things into my listing and asking for there money back, or filing disputs to get there money back, and E-bay standing behind them the buyer with no feedback against me with over 4000 feedbacks. Seemed that they just didn't care anymore, got to big for there own good for me, besides all the money I was paying them each month they where eating up all my profit. Will recomend Ebid to everyone I know over E-Bay any day.... Doobee46

With E8ay's proposed new fee structure, you will make back your joining fee even quicker.
See HERE for the low-down.

I have not got the time to check the top-end figures, but I sell a lot of sub £50 stuff and in some of the cats I will be worse-off.

Hi there
Welcome to ebid
We are getting lots of new members lately.

As most of you are Seller+ members, you now no longer have any listing or shop fees.
The best deal is to go for the gallery pic for which you pay only a 2% fvf (if it sells!)

Things are slower her on ebid than ebay of course, as we don't have as many members or as much traffic, but if you let your old customers know you are here, we may all get some more buyers !

And don't forget to use the Plug Your Auctions forum thread ! Up to once a day.
