At least not as yet.
I thought that maybe Google search was leaving me out and in fact the situation is very much the contrary as i do have kistings that appear at the top area of this search.
So, everthing is in place here.
I also like to use the platinum auction facility as it does provide the Google shopping inclusion and i don't feel happy not having a Thumbnail. of course you are offered the Buy it now with the make an offer feature, which in the past the ebay equivalent worked well for me.
There is a thread that talks about including a flyer in all ebay sales promoting Ebid, but i have been doing this since around August or so and it would appear that this is not providing any buyer traffic to my auctions/listings.
I suppose if it promotes Ebid in general and works towards the greater good then i am happy, but ....on the other hand is it effective.
Earlier this week i had an enquiry from a potential buyer in Luxembourg regarding one of my Ebay listings that they indicated they would like and asked me if i would accept a certain sum for.
The amount that they stated was too low for the ebay item, but i informed them that on Ebid i had what they wanted at the price that they had in mind or less if they use the make an offer function.
They said that they would buy from here....so far .... nothing!
I can offer the sare rare item at the price they want to pay, the same service that i offer to ebay buyers and accept paypal and they have not come over here.
What more can you do?
