Get rid of the buddy points system and concentrate more on advertising.
I want to keep on earning my buddy points & purchase items when I have saved enough points.
I don't care either way.
Very irrelevant to the discussion at hand
it is my response to a very cool site; and is why he is 100 times more effective
Jimbo
You do a smashing job advertising Ebid and helping others,your web pages etc are amazing(I wish I had an ounce of your knowledge ............to show you what I mean I can not even work out where to put my buddylink on the work you posted below
If any one wants wants to use this code or mod it feel free, just switch to html and pop it on the end of your description just remember to change the "BUDDY LINK" in the code to your own and start earning more points from your listings.
Code:
<!--Start buddy code by Jimbo--><br><br><div class="boxit-only t40 b10 clear auction-description"><b>Need to Register?</b></div><div> <b class="green"> Haven't registered yet? </b> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: small;font-family: Arial;"> If you like this item and would like to buy or place a bid you need to take a few seconds and <a href="http://BUDDY-LINK-1-HERE">Join</a> eBid. <br><br>Go to the <a href="http://BUDDY-LINK-2-HERE">Register</a> page to set up your free eBid account today!</span><br><br><br><br></div><!--End buddy code-->
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you could highlight where I actually have to put it would help an old man out

You should put it as high up the listing as possible. The best arrangement is picture, then description followed by link. After that comes everything else.
Mine are like this - see the first green panel - http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/vintage-...n-69490949.htm

Oh, OK, different theory. MIne is based on the very limited time people spend on a page before they back out or click onwards, Lower down the page is less likely to be seen.
I have been tempted to put the link below the photo and above item description.
Interestingly I had thought of adding the word 'safe' to the 'quick, easy free' part of the text but I was worried that any changes might make it work less well. Although I've dropped off the leader table for ages now I'm still getting a trickle of buddy points from new listings that do have working links so it still works as is.

Thank you Jimbo. Can the code be bulk edited into existing auctions, or added via default section?
