HI Gary
Thanks for coming back to me.
In response to your questions:
1. Having spent a lot of time working on auctions with Ebay, instead of having to recreate the wheel, it would be nice if I could just simply click a button and pull the details from my auctions (such as item specifics) and the HTML code into EBid to give me the basis of my auctions...
2. What I mean with this one is, when I open Googlebase, I have the option to pull all of my auctions from Ebay into Googlebase - no need to create each item individually. For those users who use Ebid and not Ebay, and want to promote their products on Googlebase, this would be a good solution for them as the links to their products would be through Ebid... if you want some more information on this one, PM me and I can explain in more detail...
3. Good, looking forward to that one!
4. Best Offer is a great tool. True, there will always be a percentage of people who offer a silly bid, but Ebid could outsmart Ebay here by allowing the user to choose a percentage of the price where, if a user offers below, the offer is automatically rejected [wow, thats a good idea]. Any offers above can then be reviewed by the seller.
5. I have found on Ebay that it really helps in quiet times. Being able to reduce all items by a percentage suddenly makes people excited. Again, another option which you could offer which Ebay don't is for users to search for items on sale...
6. Cross-promotion - did you see that one Gary?
