New features I would like to see on Ebid

[ojleap]

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?

Hi Gazza,
You mentioned - "Googlebase or Google Products as it is now called is available to UK sellers who add a buynow price to their auctions depending on the closing date of their auctions."

Do you know how we can actually upload our EBid listings to Googlebase? Are the listings uploaded to Googlebase automatically? I think we need some specific instructions - the Googlebase instructions are not very clear and quite a few of us are unsure how to do it.

See this thread : http://helpdesk.ebid.net/showthread....229#post529229

I like the idea of a % filter on best offers, if we are going to have them. Personally, I would never pay the full price on an item with a best offer button so all the price is then is an opening position.

Uploads are automatic on the 8,18,28 of each month.

Why is cross promotions side stepped every single time?

[madelaine]

because it makes people cross?

It needs to be changed!

I think the cross promotion is a thing which does need changing, agreed.
