Just wondering if anyone here uses eBid before, i am thinking of selling some unused stuff, but think ebay are way too expensive compared with eBid..
Any comments regarding ebid and comparison between ebid and ebay are welcomed..
Cheers

Never heard of them, and I think that would be the biggest problem, MUCH smaller market looking at your wares.

My 2p anyway.

That's the best rip-off of fleaBay i've ever seen

Might be a good place to pickup some bargains though as I reckon not many people know about it, therefore won't be bidding on stuff.

You heard it here first

I joined it when I joined eBay quite a few years ago, there's never been anything worth bidding on on it me thinks.

It doesnt matter if it's cheaper, because you'll almost certainly get a lower price than you would on Ebay... Fraid to say it but they've pretty much cornered the market just now. Just did a quick search of my usual ones on Ebay, usually you get 7 or 8 pages for "SV650" or SV 650", you get one hit on Ebid and it's for workshop manual CDs

Only 4 for GSXR, you'd get more than that searching for one specific GSXR part on EBay.

the advantages i see on ebid is that it is free for listing, which is a lot better then ebay if you sell a lot of cheaper stuff, downside i suppose would be not a lot of people know about it

I've been usiong eBay for over 5 years now and only heard of eBid on this thread. That must tell you something. eBay have sadly got the market to themselves in online auctions.
