What are members actively doing themselves?
I have been a member here for over 7 years on and off my choice, but this time I want to stay here and make a real go of it, so I have listed several different category items to get bigger audience I have been active on the forum, bought items from other sellers and contributed to the charity of the month auctions this not only raises money for the charity but raises awareness of me and my items for sale, that is just on the site away from that I have told my friends at work again about Ebid while I was still active on the other site I sent a note with every parcel to say I was moving over here.
All business have slow periods its not about Ebid not doing enough , its about what people want to buy and when and how we are promoting ourselves on here to the outsiders.
Maybe if we show some willing and start bringing people here to stay , Ebid may look into more advertising and promotions, but we have to make an effort and show some willing too.
