Maximise your eBid Stores

[theElench]

More puzzling stats. from Ebid.

Looking at the "Browse 4,814,502 items on Ebid" as UK listings they're up 5K since yesterday.

But if your USA and Canadian listing numbers come from similar boxes on their sites the total comes to nearly 13M. Not the 5,627,254 given on our Home Page for World-Wide Listings.

When I used to look at the number of UK listings regularly I always assumed that the UK figures were right. Most ebid listings in the UK with much smaller numbers in other countries. Something I began to doubt when looking at GS. I came across several US sellers on GS.uk with "Ebid - username" with huge numbers of listings, far more than any UK seller in that particular set of search results.

From that I concluded that if GS showed an Ebid seller on its Side-Bar, it was the one with the greatest number of listings visible in the UK, not just UK based sellers.

I thought I would regularly post some stats from nations that pop up on the forum on a regular basis, although the USA appearances have dropped off recently.


I don't get time to have time to delve into the basis of the figures, I thought I could leave that for others.


Australia and NZ have been left off, never ever seen a comment here, or sold anything to either country, but I may add Germany next time.


Be interesting to see the rate of change over the year with the numbers of Platinum sellers, sort of indicated by store increase

I see your point about the time it takes !

I agree it will be interesting to see the rate of change, thank you for taking the time to post any figures at all.

Perhaps the numbers are not, as you're interpreting them, the number of listings by users from those countries, but counts of how many listings are visible from each country. And presumably that means plenty of them are willing to ship abroad.

Personally I think it's as fruitless as counting stars in the sky. More important is whether we get sales. My stats are that I made no sales last month on *bay, and one here. So ebid is infinitely better on that sample!
