AuctionBytes Launches Ratings & Reviews...

[astral276]

what are you referring to?

It was a response to a rather less than polite reply (which suddenly vanished) to my post at #7 .

I agree, Astral. Auction sites or high-street stores are just like people, if you ask me. They all have good points and bad points, and most everyone can find one or more to suit them. Don't complain about the ones that aren't a good match....just move on.

Couldn't agree more, why spend time kvetching when there are much more pleasant things to do, like eating chocolates?

I want a free pencil, too.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Probably need to keep an eye on how that develops - auctionbyte's anti-ebid stance is well-known. (

I watch Ina's site and I have not noticed an anti ebid stance from them.
They have asked for press releases and they are always publishing anti-ebay letters.

Now Tamebay, they are very anti ebid (or any non ebay site)

Juliebabe, I totally agree. I have taken Ina's newsletter since 1999 and she has never been anti-ebid, quiet the opposite. She regularly has articles on ways to break away from eBay.

In fact she a few months ago, Ina had a article about how spectacular of a job the customer service at eBid is and how it is above the rest. I have heard about Tamebay, but have never been to their site.

Sorry then, it's entirely possibly I've muddled them up!

A thought... which is the site that refuses to have a separate ebid forum and insists all discussion goes into one thread? That's the one I was thinking of. Makes every discussion live under a bunch of old posts full of old, inaccurate and negative rubbish. Which site's that?

That's Powersellersunite.com and there is another one which is seriously anti-ebid, run by a couple of people who almost appear to be paid by the other place. Name escapes me. I just can't be bothered to fight online when I can spend the time listing here.

P.S. However, I do have Powersellersunite's chart of lot counts bookmarked and I see we are firmly ahead of everyone but the market leader.

Ah that's the kiddy! Thanks, Madelaine. Apologies to the site I misremembered.

A lot of the members on the PowerSellers Unite have asked repeatedly for a separate forum listing for eBid and the management has refused ever time. Don't understand it myself. Don't understand how auction sites that are now longer in business like Bidville get one that has the most recent post of January 2011, and they will not give one to eBid. Just seems strange to me, why they refuse to do it; even after countless members have asked for it.

[Juliebabe25]

I read somewhere that they are going to redo their site sometime this year.

So it may pay for us to start posting as much as we can on there about ebid.

But it is crazy that the second biggest site on their OWN chart does not feature its own forum.
