Look whos laughing now eBay :p

Hey Dsouth,
Thanks for the link, i am checkng it out now.

No prob.

I am about 1/2 way setup over there so far.
I got about 250 of 500+ items setup so far.

I made 3 sales so far and one of them was a large amount. I sold a 2,200.00 coin this weekend and my final value fees were a big fat ZERO on that sale!! Feebay would have taken about 87.00 in FVF on that one.

Yeah it is looking pretty good over there so far. They been in the US market place less than a month and they already have 1.3 million US listings and growing fast.

Because of http://ebid.net I think ebay is going to get some "PAYBACK" for its actions in the past and present.

eBid is now the 3rd ranked site beating out eCarter in the listing ranks.

I JUST joined EBid.

eBay pissed me off by rejecting a historic photo of Hitler Youth as "promoting hatred".

eBay might want to pretend the holocaust never happened, but denying history only dooms us to repeat it.

I have the item on http://us.nine.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?auction=1228077101-14064-3&mo=auction EBid now - we will see how the bidding goes.

Signing up was painless, and the price to post and have a featured auction was only $1. No hidden fees. This will certainly be handy when I try to sell other "questionable" items such as German WWII artifacts.

Wow - I am so happy your sharing your experience with us! Good to know and I will venture over to the eBid sight.
Just left ebay and others are correct when they say they got very tired of trying to keep up the "Power Seller" rating. It didn't do any good having that next to my name. Feedback was the most important thing for us sellers.
Waiting to hear about Auctiva Commerce. I have been using them for pictures, etc., for two years now and love everything about Auctiva. Hope they don't get money hungry like ebay and run us all out of business.
Hey, thanks for your input. I am looking into it now.

Looks like ebid is taking off pretty good at this point. My first and only sale for the year so far was on the 1st and it was 500.00+ sale that took place at ebid.

My final value fees on this 500.00 sale at ebid was 0.00, ZIP, Notta, Nothing!

If ebay isn't running scared at this point they are dumber than I figured!

Hey Dsouth,
What is your user Id on ebid.
I want to check out your auctions.
I like Coins, Precious Metals etc.
Thanks

Is anyone really selling anything on ebid? I just checked out several categories and not a single bid on anything. I like the site but seems like a lot of work when there aren't even many viewers.
Thanks.

Yes, I believe there are sales and a great deal at that! I too checked out ebid - asked a seller if their sales were good? She replied that she had 200 sales in the three months she has been on. Can you guess where I'm going?

I went back to ebid and checked several categories. There was not a bid on anything. I wish they could become a viable venue, but....

Did anyone ever doubt eBay would fail miserably after last year's insanity?

Unfortunately, eBid doesn't have a good category for my items yet but I did check it out & it looks promising in the future. I wish it well.

Meanwhile, I'm on www.Etsy.com that is a site for handmade arts, crafts & what not, including vintage things & craft supplies. It's super simple to use & set up a shop in no time flat. They only charge .20 per listing & listings last three months. I can't recall what the final fee is but it's not bad at all. For anyone selling art, crafts, handmade goods, vintage jewelry or clothes, etc. it's a very friendly place. Mostly women buy there though. It's like going to a nice upscale arts & crafts fair without ever leaving your house. LOL

But I really want to try Auctiva Commerce too so I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket.
