    Not necessarily wrong but not a good idea is to list the same items on greedbay at the same price.If you want to take advantage of the lower fees here you really have to work at it.Give buyers an incentive to buy from you here rather than there.You could greatly reduce your item cost here & still make more profit than on greedbay.
    eBid provides the platform for you to sell your items,it's up to you to get the customers to look at them.

    The most important one being removal of your contact details from each listing.That's against the rules.

    Did you build your business on eBay to its current level in 4 days from placing your first listing there?

    Good to see someone on ebid selling unusual stuff.
    Ebdi is not know as a place for car parts.
    But it does need more of them.
    So hang in there and it may work for you.

    You have had lots of good advice.

    Thanks everyone for advice and will reduce prices a little bit over next week or two. With help from youmeandus i will first get shop up and running and then go through each item to make any changes needed etc. As you say it takes time.
    Anymore advice of course gratefully received.
    Thanks Philip

    I am new as well, just signed up yesterday. everyone seems really nice and chill here, I am also looking for any advice on selling, I am too from another bigger auction site and thought I would give this one a try. so far it seems if the traffic was higher it would be way better than the other evil pit of despair. feel free to check out a few of my items.

    Easiest way to reduce prices is using the Bulk Edit. My own thoughts are to reduce by 5%. That leaves you 3% better off than eBay on your margins and in addition you are not paying store and relisting fees. A further saving is also made on Paypal fees as you are paying fees on a lower price, it al adds up.

    Lower prices can help drive viewings as many people who use a search engine will search on price with cheapest first and that could be particularly true of car parts.

    Hi Adam

    Welcome to eBid I hope that you sell well on here, it takes time but persevere. Word of advice, bad move to import your feedback from the darkside.
