Why use eBid forum members when you're looking for a seller?

Ranked #6,184 in Internet, #295,418 overall

If you've been looking at any of my lenses, you'll know there's one thing I bang on about more than anything else...eBid. In case you don't know, eBid is the "alternative" auction site - smaller, cheaper, and less well known than the market leader. And those are only a few of its charms! Of course, if you're a buyer looking for items on eBid it has one great disadvantage, and that's "never 'eard of it!" So, if you're going to hand over your hard-earned cash to somebody on eBid, how do you choose, and who?

I've put together a list of top tips, that I'll include here, for safe buying on eBid, but there's one more toppest tip of all I'd add... buy from a forum member! If you've found an item you like the look of, as well as the various tips in my list, the best thing you can do is check in the eBid forums to see if your seller is a regular poster. You'll get an excellent idea of their customer approach, you'll know they're serious about selling on eBid, so you'll get rapid, attentive service. And in the extremely unlikely event of something going wrong, you know where to find them, and can confront them right there in front of the witnesses! (But do try the private approach first!)

What is the eBid forum?

All very well telling you to use forum members... but what does that mean?

A cuppa and some cake are the perfect accompaniment to the eBid forums.

When you're shopping on eBid you don't just need to constrain yourself to the buying pages. You can visit the forums at any time by clicking on the forums tab at the top of the screen (dark green menu bar). Or you can go straight there now from this link, if you want to have a try.

The forums are a place for support, help and general chat. Most of the chit chat takes place in the area called "The Kitchen Table", the rest of the space is intended for serious discussion. But, frankly, there's quite a lot of cross-pollination! :D

So why not drop in and see what's going on? You don't need to post straight-away... just see if there's anything that interests you, and pick up some useful tips for buying and selling along the way! See you there!

Who's my featured seller today? virtueandpraise sells "all kinds of" stuff, with a particular speciality in wedding gifts, so if you know someone with a big occasion coming up, take a visit.

Got a suggestion who should be my next featured seller? Propose them in the form at the foot of the page, and they might just find themselves top of the pops. :)

If you're buying on eBid, try these outlets. They can be links to seller's "all about me" pages, shops, or auction item lists. Just add your own, and vote for your favourites. No individual listing links please, an entry per item would get too cumbersome too quickly! But you can have any or all of your shops, about me or "other auctions" as you wish.

Buyers - why not use this list to help you take a look around eBid? You'll find there's a great variety of bargains to be had, and with my ten-point plan handy you'll be ready to browse and buy when you spot that great deal.
