Help pages? Who reads them. I have used ebay and other selling sites. They are self explanatory and straight forward. Why can't ebid function the same way?

Only recently on Review Center there are few more positive ones. When I first came across the site there were mainly negative feedback.According to Review Center only 70.6% people recommend ebid. A bit disappointing as I am looking for an alternative to ebay.

Ok, thanks. You are answering my question. The thing I cannot bring my head round is the card verification. I don't like giving away card details and why is it needed??

I, for one, read help pages. Especially if I am having a problem. It's is amazing what information you can find.
