Some ideas for ebid - No 3 - Target Large sellers

[sidthelamp]

When I test for placement, I pick a keyword for items I offer. This generally works for most keyword categories. Of course featured items will be at the top. What I have often seen is a long run of a few seller listings clogging up pages 1 - 2 in the search, then 1 of mines might show up by page 3. How is that treating all sellers the same. Sound "correct" but in reality, it is just not happening. Test it out for youself.

you only offer 20 items to the uk i picked one title and searched on the uk site its good key words its top of the search results

the difference is joe has 50 products he wants to try selling on ebid EG standard discount applies if fully signs up within 24hrsmr big seller has 100000 products he wants to try selling on ebid EG super duper discount applies free holiday to a choice of ones own destination with no fees what so ever to sell,guess what joes thinking !

Not sure what Joe is thinking, but incentives do not mean no fees. Incentives might mean reduced fees, and those reduced fees could potentially swell eBid's bottom line, and increase their ability to do some essential advertising and marketing. That would benefit every seller here.

I offer 273 to USA. When I did searches for some of my coins, that is when I noticed the skewed searches. Not very cool. PS: This is also the same category that I notice certain sellers have high visibility across multiple fields Does not look like an equal seller playing field to me. Hope to see some changes.

reduced fees come on man its really already very cheap to sell on ebid the business platform is very competitive , as far as advertising goes we use the biggest search engine google need to advertise there shopping site ive said this before very few people i ask know of its existence were as every one knows standard google search engine, if you want a change and advocate lobbying google il back you all the way

That's what I have been saying for the last 2 years.
Not many people actually know what Google Shopping is.
And if Google can't be bothered to advertise it and promote it with all their billions in the bank....
I don't think an email from two ebid members is going to swing it.

As I have said watch for Google shopping to either change its name again (fro the 4th time), or to be dropped entirely.
Along with Google+

I hear what you are saying in your replies, and agree with some of your points. But when I do search for my stuff here I search broad keywords. For example morgan silver dollar, franklin half dollar, indian head pennies, etc. This gives a more accurate search placement result among other listings. Especially if they are in a popular category.

Fully agree with your comments concerning google. Unfortunately do not have enough time or energy to take up lobbying activities. Just looking for ways to increase my sales levels, like a lot of sellers I suppose.
