I was pleased to find a product that i've been searching for here on ebid available through one of your sellers. The listing came up in google's 'shopping' results along with a couple other sites. Im currently an eBay seller and long time web developer and i'm excited to see eBay alternatives pop up and hope this continues to grow into a viable competitor to eBay/Amazon.
First suggestion... A real pain in the ass to me was after I located the item I was searching to purchase I had to register with your site (not the problem) the problem was after registering I had to go search for the item I wanted to purchase all over again.
Seriously, fix this.. When a user adds an item to cart and goes through the hassle of registering, activating, etc... Display the item the user came to your site in the first place to buy, before anything else. Before trying to get them to purchase your selling upgrade or whatever it is you're trying to sell. It's very frustrating to users to have to double search the items they intend on purchasing.
The site design is cluttered and very unfriendly to users. I'm sure once you get use to the layout it's less confusing but your users shouldn't have to get use to the way you have organized your site. You should adapt your site to new users.
Also, I know it may be expensive and I think it should be illegal for people to do this... (but they do it anyways) Buy ebid.com! if you're going to compete with eBay and such (or at least steal a small portion of their market share) you're going to have a hard time doing it with ebid.net. I have found reviews for 'your' site and the reviews even list it as ebid.com. You guys are losing a lot of juice there.
People are searching for eBay alternatives. In the past decade of dealing with them and paypal I can guarantee this. There are many sellers dying to find another online auction giant to sell with. Although after dealing with eBay and such they are definitely hesitant and you're site lacks legitimacy.
I still considering creating a seller+ account on here and may do so after further research.
Hope this post makes it to the people that it needs to and hope you guys can continue growing.
