Default Ebid

Does anyone here sell on Ebid? Do you think its better to sell products on there than on Ebay? Less competition on Ebid but less potential customers as well. A lot of the products im selling are also on Ebay but don't really seem to be on Ebid.........

You will have more hits on Ebay. I found that once I received seller feedback on Ebid and gained trust, it did help pick things up a bit. Ebay will still give you more traffic though.

Ebid would possible be decent for a side project for you. You just need to build seller trust first, but as mentioned from everyone else, Ebay has the market cornered in traffic to you listing.

You need to look at it from a customers perspective. If you were a customer why would you visit eBid or Tazbar instead of eBay? You wouldn't. So the majority of the general public don't!
