A very well designed site, and far cheaper than the exorbitant charges you get lumbered with using ebay (believe me - I know!). However, I don't seem to sell anything on ebid, but I still sell the same items on ebay. If no-one buys it's a pointless excercise. Friends Reunited got noticed after appearing on Steve Wright's Radio show, being featured as the 'website of the day'. It made them - it's as simple as that. No site can sit back and expect people to find it using a search engine. Ebid badly needs to be promoted and got into the news in a similar way as Friends Reunited was, then it could offer ebay the competition it needs in order to bring seller costs down. It's still early days for me on ebid, but I certainly wouldn't stump up the money for life membership based on my experience so far. Listing is free, but without sales, so what?

I signed up with ebid to sell some things-no traffic.

I also tried to contact ebid but can't find an email address anywhere on the site.

I find the ebid web site is not user friendly.
Make sure you have plenty of time available if you want to sell things.
