I think the response from regulars responding on this, as someone dared to question a view, has been from one idiot accusing one person of making multiple posts,

when someone can only resorts to insults to win an argument, it's always a good sign :j

ebid staff or ebid seller, I don't think you realise the damage you are causing to ebid

This thread is getting boaring.

I don't have 'my own support staff'.
And anyone can give a different email address each time and open as many IDs as they wish. Unless you've given your name, address and proof of ID to MSE? I didn't.

Personally I welcome new posters who join MSE because they need advice, or they have something to contribute.
We may be getting one new poster every now and again, let's say this thread as a higher than usual number of 'new' posters, and let's leave it at that.

your quote is wrong you missed of "here" as in your own support staff here, not trying to mis lead anyone are you! so back to my original question to you if you email your own support staff here they can check if its the same person signing up here, your right no doubt one poster could sign up with a different email addy and user name, but why i asked you to do this is the support staff here can see if different IP OR ISPS are used witch would confirm or deny your aligation.

but why i asked you to do this is the support staff here can see if different IP OR ISPS are used witch would confirm or deny your aligation.

Unless of course, if the people/person in question has an internet connection that uses dynamic IP addresses, (as do the majority of ISP's), in which case checking this out wouldn't be of any use whatsoever.

Fair enough if the ebid seller made a mistake, but why remove the neg feedback?
After all, isn't the whole purpose of the feedback system to give an indication of what a member is like to deal with and how they conduct themselves on the site?

I also totally agree with what terra_ferma posted above.
By defending sellers who refuse to complete transactions (or at least explain to their customers that they made an honest mistake), you are showing exactly why people should avoid ebid.

There seems to be some sort of ebid campaign spreading round forums in attempt to big the site up. Whether its the owners or just loyal followers I don't know, but they are going about it all wrong and just making ebid look silly!

The same sort of silliness is being spouted on the wholesale forums by other ebid followers (in fact one of the usernames here is remarkably similar to one on the other forum!). They couldn't back up claims of high ebid sales numbers on the other forum (they just ignored posts asking for evidence) and I'm pretty sure they won't be able to here either.

As someone who buys on ebay, but doesn't sell, I'd just like to say that I won't use ebid as my impression is that ebid's policies are too pro-seller, and that there isn't sufficient buyer protection.

Reading the OP's experience just makes me even less inclined to use ebid. If what seems to me to be valid negative feedback is just removed.

Then we get the attitudes of ebid sellers on this thread, calling the OP a "Chancer" etc. If this is the typical attitude of ebid sellers, count me out.

Not that this makes any difference. When I search on the products I want on ebid, there are none.



Not just here that threads about ebid seem to feature new posters who praise ebid.

if you were a seller on a new site to you and came across this type of buyer then youd be calling them a chancer too,witch would probably be the case as you say yourself your not a seller, lets just hope you never make a mistake if you ever try selling, i also guess that my two new buyers who signed up this morning must be shaking in there boots as regard to buyer protection they spent £16.99 and £56.99 respectively or would they have confidence in buying because they used paypal ? confirmed posting addresses too so seller protection kicks intoo, seems to me your post at best is misleading and you seem very nieve as regard to the world of e-commerce,

and again another common argument you and others seem to use is

"

do you only want to hear one side of a story ? have you got something against new posters giving a alternative view? and if so why? are you paranoid that anyone who sees ebid in a positive light are liars/conspirators ?

ridiculous i know but thats what you are implying,

as far as you cant find the products you want thats a fair comment some things i cant find i want to buy on ebid others i can the products offered on ebid change every day just like any other venue dont think any one will argue ebid is a wonder one stop shop for all your needs its never pretended to be so,

there are a lot of traders on ebid who have supported the site for years who do offer a wide range of goods, myself i trade in a collectable market were its comsumable parts are also used in a few nich industries i do very well 70% of sales are from new customers who then turn into repeat customers,

theres the also the old argument should ebid advertise its site, there are two camps on this one, firstly the product advertises its self so from my own experience google uploads brings in my new customers ebid are "partners" with google products so products that qualifiy for uploads within half an hour of listing have a world wide platform and are much better placed in rankings than other sites.

ebid do not advertise in the normal percived sense ie in vast media campaigns, google products, face book, ect ect,is how ebid advertise, vast media campaigns cost vasts amount of money the site diversity of goods quite simply at this time would not warrent or substain such a campaign, although i do understand the frustration of sellers who would like this to be so. never the less growth of this site has been huge of the last two years ive been there, steady growth without vast expenditure on advertising,

RHemmings yes ebid do look after there sellers more so than on ebay but that is not at the expense of any buyers they do investigate all concerns they dont give automated responces to concerns they reply with personal emails direct to you directly about your concern the buying and selling logs on ebid [AAL] are directly linked to the buyer/seller transaction so any dispute ebid have direct acsess to the details the details in part are down to the sellers/buyers filling in the relevant details as they emerge, as for rouge buyers/sellers on the site go, false details when registering will get your account suspended till you explain/rectifie the problem in other words you cant trade till you forfill the registration process in full witch im in complete agreement with, 3 negatives in a row will also see your account suspended pending a investigation buyers or sellers, suspended means just that you cant trade! no one can forsee a bad exchange what ever site you trade on if your a repeat offender then your buying /selling experience on ebid will be short lived, personally speaking ive had two non paying buyers over two years, ive had over 500 positive FB and find the site going from strengh to strengh ive also bought on the site and never had a bad experience, theonly small niggle i have with the site is some of buyers dont leave FB they sign up buy the product they want and it really does not cross there mind about FB well thats google shoppers for you sign up and buy it does seem that the old ethos is changing and shopping habbits on line are changing, not something im over worried about!

nothing wrong with ebid followers campaigning if they want too if they want to attract customers browsers thats there progative its called being pro active theres nothing silly about it sunshine its called attracting interest/customers,

back up claims of high sales so in effect your asking for usernames so you can check them out! dont think so sunshine no ones going to give you a username by the biase tone of your post ive heard you before your another seller on another site who does not like competition so any chance you get you try to undermine the hard work ebid sellers put in! your argument is flawed of course its the product that counts and who buys it, no matter how much you try to knock the site you have no effect in your retric

You're the same silly poster on the other forum! Same tone, same grammar, same mistakes, etc!

I once considered using ebid seeing as it wouldn't cost anything to try but if its populated by people with your attitude then I want nothing to do with it.

I don't need to knock it - you're doing a fantastic job of that yourself!! You, your chums and your posts have done nothing but harm for ebid! I hope you are the owner because if you are not then he is going to be pretty p***ed off with you!! :T

same old retric what a joke you are! see theres just one slight problem with all you say the number of new members on ebid check out the figures on the site,

weve done no harm to ebid infact your tone/your post is soley anti ebid witch to anyones eyes is some one whos a little worried about there own sales, well my friend i will keep plugging ebid were ever i can when i feel like it.

" once considered using ebid seeing as it wouldn't cost anything to try but if its populated by people with your attitude then I want nothing to do with it."

see the above qoute this is were your argument falls down theres nothing wrong with my attitude i support a site that supports me and thats all i say i dont knock other sites like you do i may draw a comparison as a example. so a completly biased attack by yourself against ebid and my self and you feel the need to resort to bad language i think that just about sums you up, business on any site has nothing to do with a biased/percived attitude as you emply it has to do with what you sell and if you can attract customers, as you say you dont use ebid so again this is something you cant deminstrate, its rather patronizing for you to surgest that ebid is populated by people like me the more any one reads your post the more senseless it becomes,
