Would you recommend eBid?

[Gothicina]

And the Forums.....well why not get rid of all the Forums and just have the KT? It seems to be the only place people go to talk filth!

I for one resent that comment, there a a lot of people who spend a great deal of time on the forums answering queries.

I take it from your other posts that you're not happy with how long it took you to get an answer for your questions, considering people had been viewing your posts.
Lots of people view posts & never answer, some may not know the answer, MOST of the people who do post answers on the forums are in the UK, so you need to take the time difference into consideration.

As for your two questions, you cannot use gallery pictures because you have silver membership, to use gallery you need to upgrade to gold.
You question about buying stuff based in Australia, If you click on the buy link at the top of the frontpage, you have the option to search by the location in the search there.

If you leave a response of 6 or below please leave a one sentence answer as to why you wouldn't.
"Please do not discuss responses on this thread."

As it says above thanks

I can understand that comment made about KT, rather than being a forum for sellers and having the KT as a relaxed zone, its seems to becomming the KT forum for posting crap (for want of a better word) and just happens to have some selling topics as well.


However budd in respect for gothicina, i can understand her being upset, ask a question and if she knows the answer you can guarantee she will be first to reply to any ebid selling/buying etc topic you have, and the answer will be relevant to the question in hand. A couple of other users too are the same, dont let the KT forum tarnish all users witht he same brush

I voted 8, but I'm not so sure now that the views counters are reset to zero whenever my items are auto-reposted. There is a nagging doubt in my mind that the updates to eBid are being rushed in without adequate testing. If I had a 2nd vote it would currently be about 5!

I for one welcome the view counters being reset to zero on autopost...I find it gives me a much more realistic idea of what interests people.

But then....you can't please all of the people all of the time...and I think the boys are doing a FANTASTIC job....and obviously listening to the views of the majority.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for progress, but, in this case, it's 1 step forward and 2 steps back. By resetting the views counter when the item is auto-reposted all the previously collected info is lost, so the counter is only useful a very short period before the reset. It really depends on your use of the counter: I use it to measure average daily hits over the life of an auction (and to compare each item with similar items in other auction sites), others may use it to tell bidders how popular the item is.

Without knowledge of the reasons Gazza has received to change this functionality, I can't decide whether it's right or wrong!

Its not necessarily right or wrong ...its right for some people and wrong for others...you just have to deceide whether its right/wrong for you. Garry and Mark will do what they think is right for the site and the majority of users.

I personally just welcome the fact that my own auction views are no longer included in my own auction numbers

And if they are including the total views in the AA email than surely that will give you the figures you are looking for.

I think that is a good compromise..

I welcome the new changes available to platinum sellers but have to seriously question why the invoicing and item combining are not available to ALL levels of seller .... after all, they are the basic requirement for any seller's after auction admin.

i wouldnt recommend e bid. I have been with them about 6 months now. I make on average 1 sale a month and half of these sales are never paid for. I certainly couldnt make a living from this site. I think if e bid introduced listing fees many sellers would dissapear as i'm suelike myself there are plenty of sellers but no buyers. There seems to be no system in place to deal with non paying bidders. I have left neg feedback for 3 of these and they have responded with the same neg feedback. Now i find my account has been suspended and they are still on e bid with no action having been taken. E bid support dont commenton this. Does anyone else have this problem. The other side may be more expensive but at least i have numerous bids on my auctions and plenty of sales, I'm going to stick with feebay until e bid get their act together.

[jarremachine]

Well I'm fast losing patience with eBid, pulling my thread in the KT which was a joke about another auction site

AND ignoring requests about getting the counters reset to zero.
