There are alot of different things to checkout. For the seller there are FREE stores with no limit on the product. You get better exposure when you list in "Both" the auctions and in your store. The front page feature is ONLY a few pennies and when you sell something, in most cases it is only cost a dime. For more on Fees please check the "site Fees" which can be found in the top right hand corner of the site.

HiBidder Forum 

In the forum you will find alot of good people that will help you if you need it. It is also the place where to meet some that sell and buy in HiBidder. Normally there is atleast one contest or event going on each month and they are always posted in the forum. Great way to meet and sell through the contest, Weekend Challenge first of each month or the Penny Pincher which HiBidder has about twice a year. Or you just go in there to relax and play a game with someone, or just a simple Good Morning.

Buyer & Seller 

For the buyer, the prices are cheaper. They are that way because seller doesn't have to pay for listings. Great commucation is needed from both the buyer and seller. If the seller doesn't contact you, it is always good to contact them. Keep the commucations going and there are less problems. Please leave feedback when buying or selling. It is the only way the next person can tell about the seller or buyer.

Customer Service 

HiBidder prides itself in excellent customer service. There are different places through out the site to ask any questions. Please be patient with the answer. We aren't always online so we have to come online to answer you. Another way to find answers is to join the forum and at times your answer is already answered in the "Help Desk". Still can't find the answer, you will see a list of names of moderators on the left side of the forum. Clck on any of them and send a private messege to them.

.99 Fall Penny Pincher 

The .99 Fall Penny Pincher is a great time to clean out your closets, rooms, garage, or wherever else you may have extra items hanging around, plus any overstock or "last season" items that you want to get rid of.

The holidays are coming up fast and now it's the perfect time to get your items ready for our biggest sale ever!

We will be running the Fall Penny Pincher longer than usual this year so everyone can find something they have forgot they wanted.

The rules are very simple:

(1) All sellers can participate
(2) Starting price MUST be .99 cents (or less)
.......... (a) You can have your items listed for Quik Buy for .99 cents or less (fixed price)
.......... (b) For bidding, price starts at .99 cents (or less), but the Quik Buy can be priced higher
(3) Be sure to list your items in the .99 Penny Pincher Bargains category so we can all find your sale items

That's it!

Photobucket

Seller's who are interested in a little more promo can have me add them to our .99 Seller list I will be setting up soon. I will have the name of your store PLUS it will be linked directly to the .99 Penny Pincher Bargains category! This way it will make it easier for interested buyers to scan the Seller list and check out your HOT sales!

We have a bang every 4th of July. Come on in and find out what the next level is about.

Rain what is Good for? 

Rain what is Good for?

Why rain is good for us.It helps the farmers. Anyone living in a state that depends on it's farmers to do good then you will find a state that enjoys rains. It means money later. Things will grow and all in the state will be rich for it.

Just like an auction site if one does good it follows. But it isn't only up to one person but all members. They are the rain in the auction site. They help each other and make things better for everyone. When only a few are doing things to help out all then it will be lean year. For as a state depends on its farmers to do good, the auction site depends on it buyers and sellers to do good.

In the state everyone helps the farmer so the crop they grow will be abundt. It is up to the members to see that all are making the rain happen. If that is helping someone out in a auction listing or just dropping by the forum to say " hi how it's going". Learn how to advertise don't depend on others to do it for you. Learn how to talk to each other on any subject.

Be that rain that the auction site needs to grow. And with all rain every once in a while a thunderstorm comes with it. Try to be patient and have not many thunderstorms. Alot of wind can destory what you are trying to do.

Wishing you lots of rain!

Tips on Finding Customers! 

You can google on how to promote your store and all will say mostly the same. It is up to the seller to make their self known and what they sell. No one knows unless you advertise and no one can do it better than the owner of the store.

To make money online you first have to get traffic to your store. In order to do that you have to make yourself known. It's not only one thing but a few things together that will bring people to see your store. And it isn't something you only do once and hope people will find it. Atricles suggests that you make it a habit atleast one hour a day. There are many ways you can do that.

Online Adverstiving
Many are free like putting your banner to your store on your signature in your email and/or forums. Join advertising groups.

Writing an Article
Post it in your blog, lense, website or in the forums.

Offline Advetrtising
Business cards is a great way.

Newsletter

Word Of Mouth
Good business manners will be given from one person to another.

Joint ventures, strategic partnerships

Participation in online forums / discussion groups

Search Engines
Make use of the Mega Tags.
Write out a good description of the product you are selling. Keep it simple and clean.
(you wouldn't believe how many auctions I have gone to and no description only how they will take your money.)

Then there are places that will help you promote your store. They will ask you to surf through the sites that are already there.

One of the ways most people compete for the customers is the price. Take the focus off the money and find your own unique value and promote it from that. Your market isn't for everyone no matter what you sell. So target the ones that will buy from you.
