I started using Ebid at the start of Jan 2018 after being told to try it
I had sales now and then which i expected from a site no one had heard of even though it had been around for years but those sales were still sales which is always good
Sadly I had started eBay not long after and within a short period of time ebid was totally forgotten which is a pity
I decided to come back and try it again in the hopes the site had gained some popularity, I even thought about paying for the seller + but from what i can tell its still the same site with maybe a small increase in business, I did think with eBays latest changes etc sites like this would gain a large influx of business but the registration probably isn't helping
I did hope some things would have been changed by now -
There's no branded supplies anymore like the Tape in the past - A clear thing any business should spend on to get the name out there and i'm sure all sellers would love to send their items with branded tape, boxes etc
The registration is from what I've been told still god awful with most buyers being confused thinking they need to pay £49 to register - This must be losing a ton of people joining
I have seen no advertising anywhere
Its clear that this year many sellers and buyers are looking for alternative sites especially after last years issues with sites like eBay
So anyway I'm back to try again already started listing some items and my questions are -
1. It does look like people are selling more, how is it working for you
2. Will it be worth upgrading to seller + and is the importing from eBay simple and straight forward
3. Will we ever see branded packing materials? The power of branded packing is amazing for generating business
So anyway good luck all on your sales and lets hope the site grows this year
