Anyone used eBid to sell anything yet??
Costs seem a lot lower but not sure about security, coverage, general use etc.
Not used ebid, but might consider it if they extend the auction if a late bid is received, which some auction sites do.
Andy
extend the auction if a late bid is received, which some auction sites do.
Yahoo used to do that - it's a pain in the arse for buyers and many just didn't bother with it, which meant the sellers went too
Ebay binned it when they bought them up
it's a pain in the arse for buyers
I'm not sure that's true. Being sniped is also a PITA.
Andy
If you're the type that increments their bid in response to another bid, then yes it could be a PITA
But no one in their right mind does that
You bid your maximum as late as you can, if you're sniped it's because someone was willing to pay more

I don't think we're going to agree on this. However, to my mind the fact that sniping is possible is a flaw in the design of eBay. If you go to a public auction, bidding continues until the true highest bid is achieved. I can't see why online auctions should be different.
Andy
Its snipe or be sniped. I love the fact that you can snipe at the last second to increase the chance of a bargain. If you dont like it, bid on an item that ends at a time which is suitable for you, or bid higher.
