    Advantages Advantages Single payment then free listing & no selling fees for store owners

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not all sellers seem to compare their prices before listing

    I began my eBid evolutionary journey as a casual browser when I was sent to explore this 'new site' in 1998/99, whilst working for a newspaper. At that point, we were all just getting to grips with the fact that we could buy and sell via the Internet, so the prospect of a UK based auction phenomenon was really exciting. Not only could I claim my online exploration as research, I could also suss out some bargains and explore the possibility of earning some lucrative extra income. Wholeheartedly, I marched into eBid, mouse in one hand, coffee cup in the other, and it was love at first sight. By ... more

    Advantages Advantages Free listings, bargains to be had, some nice features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many bidders, less choice of goods than eBay, high 'Security Subscription', PPPay integrated into the system

    I am an eBay addict, so what am I doing writing about a rival auction site? I stumbled on eBid by accident, being desperate for an item that wasn't available on eBay. I did a search on google for auction sites, and so found eBid. I have been using the site for a couple of years now. In case anyone reading this does not know about eBay either, both sites are on-line auction sites where you can buy and sell almost anything - from a pencil to a car, and from a pair of knickers to a stereo system. You have to register to bid or sell, and the URL for ebid is www.ebid.co.uk or www.ebid.tv. They have ... more

    5 Stars THE NEW EBAY 18/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages NO SELLING FEES

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A NEW SITE NOT MANY HAVE HEARD OF THERFORE NOT AS MUCH CHOICE.

    This IS the new 'ebay'. Many years ago, I discovered ebay and quickly became a devotee, having several times created and deleted accounts for one reason or another. Over my time on there I became more and more disgruntled with it. This is due, partly because of the new meanness of the buyers who seem to no longer delight in getting a bargain at a good low price, but who now seem to have devised buying strategies which include, watching an item until its last seconds and only then placing a bid thus ensuring that they only pay the starting price. All very well if you are a buyer, but if you are ... more

    Advantages Advantages Still undiscovered territory so stake your claim while you can

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's all so hush-hush!

    ****For Buyers***** This is a great site for buyers because so many buyers have their noses stuck in Ebay that they often forget that there are great bargains to be had on other auction sites out there! Since the Ebay fee increases, many Ebay sellers have flocked over to Ebid as it's free for them to list. And as it's free for sellers to list on Ebid, many of them pass on these savings to their customers. Just looking through many of the categories on the site, it's amazing how things that are often bid to impossible prices on Ebay, are still sitting at a diddly squat 99p on Ebid - and so many ... more

    Advantages Advantages FREE!!! And 100% excellent customer service!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages needs to make potential users more aware of it's presence

    As a keen eBay user, but SICK of the fees imposed on almost everything when selling, I decided to look for an alternative. I found all the usual ones, but none held any interest for me, especially as they were smaller, had way less buyers, but still charged fees. Then I found eBid. Which was 100% free to list items, with NO Final Value Fees. In January 2003 I joined and listed a few bits and pieces. I didn't really expect much to come from it at the time, as the site and forums were pretty quiet, although the range of items listed was very varied and interesting enough for me to place some ... more
