I sell on both ebay and ebid, well, sort of sell on ebi, actually had my first sale this morning after a few weeks. The thing with ebid is you cant just write your listings and expect them to magically sell, as many do in feebay... ya gotta work hard at it, advertising at every oppurtunity, leafleting your ebay customers, mentioning it in forums.. It is not viable at the moment to only have ebid as yor source of income but I think for sellers who sell collectables etc. it seems to be getting there.. and the current unhappy sellers climate is a positive negative for ebid.. yes many sellers are moving over but they are not bringing their buyers ifykwim... I am an optimist though, and think by paying the 50squids for lifetime, it is not so much to loose, I have lost the same amount relisting on feebay..... all huge multinationals eventually have to face up to the fact competition will rise.... it may take time but it will happen.. all the policy changes and designs to make ebay a super mall will help other sites like ebid take a large chunk of the online auction market, might not be this year, or next, but i think it is coming... but then as i said i am an optimist who hates the way feebay is treating the people who have put it where it is today!!
