    Hi and Welcome to the Forum. All my Feedback is from eBid so yes things sell!
    But everything is different here to other sites. Each site is unique in its own right. It takes time to get to grips with how to make a new site work for you.
    There are lots of threads about this in the Forum.... look them up....

    Here is a link to Astral's very informative thread for New Users ~ you will find some great advice and pointers in it:

    There's more advice/info/FAQ's/video's if you click the Help button, top right...

    Great! Don't lose heart..... it took 2-3 months for me to get going & if I can do it anyone can! Opening stores & listing lots of varied items did it for me..... just take your time & come into Forum - everyone will help you as much as they can.
    Good to see you here.

    Great link thanks. Answered a few of my questions especially why I lost 12 of my listings. Duplicated titles!
    I will dust myself down and start again.

    Couple of things that might help.

    Put something in your About Me.
    If you have a discount for multiple purchases then mention it, especially for stamps where you can send loads for the same price.
    Most sales come from Google & Goole Shopping. To get uploaded to GS you would need a BIN price. With stamps that can also lead to multiple purchases as some sellers do not want to wait for several auctions to finish, they just want to buy what they want and get them all shipped together.
    Set up a store, you might need one eventually so the sooner the better.

    The sales can be made, and there are a few stamp sellers who feature regularly in the Hot Sellers list so stick with it, learn a few tricks and enjoy yourself.

    hi
    All my items are buy it now with make an offer option and all my feedback is from ebid.
    tell all your buyers you are here, plug your items on the ebid forum,Join pinterest, facebook, twitter, multi user blogs etc locate any other relevant info you can find on the forum, the more you can list the better.

    Ebid needs a handbook for newbies/and the rest of us in a prominent place
