    Default What have you done to eBid

    I've been gone for a while. CAme back to try again on eBid. WHat have you done to this site? So hard to understand & work with & so sparse looking. Everything seems so hidden. Are you really interested in assisting buyers & sellers or that $49 lifetime seller fee? YOu need to go back to the much friendlier easy to navigate site ... I left in 2014 & other than Quicker photo upload, the rest is terrible. Sorry, I know you guys are nice & responsive, but this setup Is awful and totally uninteresting. ARe you actually selling anything in the USA? ANd NO, I'm not related to Mr TRUMP?!i and

    You may have a point there.

    Could you focus your experience as evidence, such as a picture of what is hard to understand, or what is hidden, so it it gives the guys something to work on.

    Keep the opinion to a minimum as "awful and totally uninteresting" may make folk defensive and doesn't give a handle for what to change.

    Hi my name is John I used to be on eBid and had a store but things did not sell so I left I thought I would give it another try but one thing I have noticed is that you can never find out what other things have sell for is there some way of finding that out

    You can look at completed items for any search but it is a bit like a needle in a haystack as many things go through unsold. The advantage of eBid is just that - you can afford to keep relisting obscure items until the buyer appears.

    Unfortunately eBid had to comply with Google demands that sites should now be compatible with mobile devices. It was a shock to us all when it changed and a pity so much of the old eBid character was lost right down to the bland orange blob logo !

    You still can't beat eBid for it's value for money and I would really like it to succeed so I shall stick with it and hope that some day they will get some artistic inspiration to put something eye catching back into the place.

    Isn't there a 'sold listings' in the search?

    Goes off to look

    Have to agree with Becky, I'm not at all convinced that regular re-branding achieves anything. There was massive rebellion when the site was launched, but once the glitches and gremlins were sorted, things settled down.

    Having a website such as this constantly evolves so input is (I guess appreciated) by the management.

    Lol, just a sprinkle of the old green and purple would do. I can't even bring myself to bid my buddy points on a new eBid T-shirt they are so bloomin' boring I wouldn't want to wear it !
