Where have all the Pinterest boards gone?
What have I missed?

eBid done away with them, sellers can no longer pin to eBid boards.

They've been replaced with "Inspiration" boards http://www.pinterest.com/ebidnet/

BUT the Charity Auctions group board is still there - http://www.pinterest.com/ebidnet/cha...tions-on-ebid/

hanks Annie.
How do I get to pin to the boards?
None of them are showing up in my drop down menu

You can't pin to them anymore only the charity one

Streuth! As if selling wasn't hard enough already.

Which bright spark decided that?

I second that.
The Pinterest boards were much better as they were, when we could pin to them.
Good way of advertising our items.
Why get rid of them?

The only reason I can think of is they are cost prohibitive for eBid. Perhaps the Inspiration Boards are free or less cost prohibitive. I do not get the impression that eBid is pleased with having this happen.

My largest concern is that we can not post to the boards; only eBid can do this. So eBid is selecting seller(s) items that will be featured on their pinterest boards. I had some concerns about that before (visibility), about what I saw on Pinterest and via eBid search here.

But a seller can have their own boards. I need to look into the Pinterest issue when I have more time.

Pinterest is FREE.

I personally like the way it is now - the eBid board needs to be effective for eBid and a seller needs their own board to be effective along the lines of the items they sell. Under the old system neither was being achieved - I certainly didn't bother posting to the eBid boards because I didn't see any benefit in doing so.

On your own Pinterest boards you can effectively target relevant customers quite easily - something eBid could not do. eBid should target their own audience - easy for them to do and yet something they are still not doing. Baffles the hell out of me why they don't

I have my own Pinterest board. I'm not sure how well it is serving me though.
