Hi to all.

I've decided to try out ebid after tiring of the competition (where the customer is always wrong).

I restore antiques, mainly clocks and automatons, and turn over a couple of grand per month on auctions. I have so far only listed two items on ebid (of around 200 waiting) and find this web site extremely slow and cumbersome - probably need to find some listing tools. Where do you set all your standard defaults to be repeated on all listings, e.g. postage, returns policy and excluded counties?

Also, aren't you supposed to be able to import from Ebay somehow?

Also, five pictures is completely inadequate for the items I sell - 12 is a good number.

Anyway, I'll give it a go - so far not impressed.

Go to my ebid

If you need extra images use photobucket although i agree 5 images including gallery is probably not enough for some items.

This is not ebay all auctions sites are different and have their own ways of doing things nothing ventured nothing gained ive only been selling here 2 - 3 years follow all advice given http://uk.ebid.net/help_selling.php

Season's Greetings eBidders!

After more than a decade of buying and selling on eBay, I've now (at last, I hear you sigh!) seen the light and have signed up with eBid today.

The fees charged by eBay are blatantly EXTORTIONATE. And after years of eBay pressing Sellers to reduce Shipping Charges, I've just realised that they recently changed the Rules (in their favour, of course) and now charge 10% Final Value Fees on the Shipping costs too. As far as I'm concerned this is THEFT and exposes the true scale of the greed in that organisation

Frankly, it's a disgrace. The Directors who made this decision should hold their heads in shame. Mind you, treating people like that will come back to haunt them and they'll find that they can't buy happiness and health, no matter how much money they steal. I've no doubt that their serial dishonesty already infects the whole breadth of their miserable and unfulfilling lives.

Rather than simply moan, however, I've taken immediate rataliatory action and have signed up for a Seller+ Lifetime subscription with eBid.

With grateful thanks to all those who had the sense and faith the create and support eBid from the outset. I'll do my best to ensure that my association with eBid will result in win-win solutions with all future trading partners.

Best wishes to you all.

Welcome to eBid winwin! Had a peek at your listing and all about page...two suggestions:

1. Put some info on your all about page...people will feel more comfortable after "getting to know you" a bit!

2. Your listing...try to avoid using RUS (run until sold) as your listing(s) will literally sit at the bottom of the category pile and never move up for better views by potential buyers. I run my listings 10 days with 10 auto-relists...that gives me 100 days before I have to mess with them to do a physical relist! Also, as you are a seller+ your listing(s) would be uploaded to Google Shopping automatically by eBid if you put a UPC/MPN number and manufacturer in them...just FYI.

Wishing you all the best and again, welcome aboard!

Should Astral's guide be in a more prominent place?? and is the guide up todate?

[goldprospector58]

I cant seem to post a listing
so what am i doingg worng

[ourdadsstamps]

I totally agree winwinsolutions.
I have done the same thing after ebay sneaked in the new terms about postage fees. Whats more if you offer postage discount on multiple sales, as I do, they still charge you for each individual item. So it now costs me to send if I combine five items.
I've just joined here on the Seller + lifetime subscription too. It seems such a bargain.
I've been selling stamps on other sites for some time so hope that this site will prove successful.
