    it takes a bit for buyers to find your items - I have had two sales since I joined not that long ago - I do a fair bit of editing to keep the bots busy on my items

    I suggest you invest in your items by picking one or more to do a "front page" ad - I have taken the income generated by my sales to put back into getting them seen and thus supporting the site a bit more

    It also helps if buyers can see your ads. on google shopping. Have you read the "Help" pages on the criteria for getting them uploaded? Do they comply? and can you find them?

    If you can't find them, have a look at those that are there and try changing your ads. so that they do.

    You need to list more items on Ebid than you would on Ebay because there is less footfall.
    I get up to 500 sales a month, but then the number of items I list is massive.

    I think that's very true Bill.

    When I started listing glass regularly every week-end it didn't seem to make much difference until I reached about a hundred listings. After that sales became more regular and although I still list something new every week-end and have been doing so for a few years now, I've never got anywhere near 300 listings in glass categories.

    I also suspect that regular listing might help visibility on GS. If the date or age of a listing is something that GS takes into account when deciding which ads. to show, my scatter-gun approach gives me plenty of dates and ages for it to hit on.

    If I tick the "Ebid - theElench" box on GS it shows about 10% of my glass items in Art Deco Glass and rotates them regularly.

    I think you need to list at least 100 items, if not more.

    You also need to promote yourself using eBid's Plug Your Auction section
    or using
    Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and so on.

    If you sell on eBay, when you sell items, place a card that you sell on eBid and the ID you use, and that items are at a lower price.

    Really need to read and reread the help section, not only the Selling section, but all of the sections.
    You will be surprise some of the answers may be under other sections that will answer some of the questions you may have.
    I still go back and reread the help section.

    A month now, not a single sold

    I have a strong feeling that I won't be able to sell anything on eBid.
