We will never claim to be the next eBay. We believe providing facts and not promises to be the best approach. There are far to many in this industry that will provide such empty promises... Which we do not want to do.
Our main goal is to keep moving forward. Providing updates to make the site more user friendly, increasing our buyer base, providing top notch customer support, and basically making the users experience (buyers and sellers) on our site as positive as possible. We have been in operation for a little over three years, and have continually experienced strong growth trends. We expect this to continue for the long term, but we are not going to tell you that we will have eBay's numbers next month, or six months from now... We can tell you that we will continue growing, and we would love for you to grow your business with us.
We are aware of the dissatisfaction of sellers on eBay, we see this in the growing number of referrals from the eBay forums. You say that now is the time to make a move on eBay. I am not totally sure what this is in reference to... Is there a specific route that you feel we should take? We started this move on eBay a little over three years ago when we opened our doors, and we have been climbing the ladder ever since. More recently we have started climbing even faster than normal, thanks to eBay's total disregard for its members. We are making our move... and will continue to make our move against this monopolistic regime, that many have come to know as eBay.
We are a privately owned company, so there is currently no stock options. We feel that going public would be a mistake, as we would not be able to run the company how we want to. As there would be stockholders dictating decisions and policies. We feel the only people we should have to answer to is our members. eBay is a publicly traded company, so their main goal is to keep shareholders happy by continually increasing revenue percentage growth. Which results in raising of fees when member growth base slows, such as they have just done again. We would rather not go down this road. A company can achieve and maintain profitability without funds from external sources.

Hi HTP41!! :D
We are so glad you are here and for your enthusiasm !
Admin and staff have very exciting things planned for us here, and WE as a TEAM, ALL of us
are trying to do our parts to get the word out to the OAC! Myself as well as many others, have
been working for several years in the alternative auction community to bring change, and move
THIS industry forward.
One of the very reasons that I care for, and believe in the Admin Staff here, is that they always
tell the TRUTH and 'shoot straight' with us. We are continually moving onward and upward. The
OAC sees us, believe me. The main focus for us at WEBIDZ is to always be looking ahead, and
never falling behind, (at least if we are able to prevent that from happening).
So long story short my friend, Get in here with us and help US at WEBIDZ to be part of the cure
and to at least claim OUR SHARE of this vast market. We are NOT ebay..we don't want to be.
All the best to you,
Lana

Hello All Webidz Staffs and Members
This is htp again/Buyers is alway in power of any market BUT if no seller or store presented than nothing there to buy/Advertise,Avertise with family orientation structure Webidz base on and in no time Webidz will be a serious contender to face with any online auction group,as this moment not many online auction sellers or buyers know much about Webidz(I just stumbled on Webidz by Search)/Base on the seller fees charges by Webidz it is a good bet many and many Ebay sellers will crossover,when Webidz have seller base structure inplaced than will see buyers moving in very fast/That is enough for now/BTW the Webidz home page kind a confusing,click on something it bring to advertise pages/Thanks

Webidz will never be Ebay!!!! I pray everyday that some of my items will sell,but none ever do,and probably never will.No one here buys anything,just a bunch of lookers.Ebay might be higher in listings and fees,but by golly they do buy things all the time.I came here from ebay as a seller,and after 1 more week,if nothing sells here,I'm going back.I know alot of people in here feel the same way.I can tell you that I know for a fact,if people don't start buying real soon,around 75 to 100 are leaving! I'm really disquested as are they,so why stay somewhere when you feel you aren't wanted?Yes,this could be a great site,but not when no onee buys anything.I'vr heard many times that feedback is what counts,sure it does,but how do you get feedback with no sales.The clicks stay in the click,and the heck with the rest of us.NOT FAIR by any means.I'm tired of going down the river without a paddle. Sorry guys,but it's true.

Just like any business, it takes time to build a base. For a seller to think they are going to come in here and have the same sales volume as they have on eBay, is definitely the wrong approach. Other than the $5.00 verification fee, it is basically free to sell on the site. So it is not like you are spending a bunch of money, and not getting anything in return. We are showing that you have 30 items listed and have had seven sales. So your statement of if I don't have any sales within the next week is very misleading.
I am not sure about the 75-100 people that you speak of, but this is news to me. There are a few people that complain of little or no sales, but most sellers understand that it is a growing process for all. We are making changes all the time, adding contests with cash payouts, and continually working on building the WeBidz site. If you are not willing to remain positive and work with us to build the site, then possibly we are not a good fit for you. We value and respect you as a seller, but you need to understand where we are at, and where we are going.
If you are profitable on eBay, we would never encourage you to leave them. There are quite a few sellers that actually still sell on eBay, while they are slowly building their business on WeBidz. If you want to build your business with us, we strongly encourage you to hang in there. If you decide WeBidz is not right for you, we wish you the best in wherever you may decide to sell.

As we are starting our 30th year in the sales business we have seen and heard alot! We know alot of sellers here and not one of them say there leaving!! So 75 to 100 people you talked to are you sure there on this site? We have been with alot of auction sites including Ebay! Sure we sold alot on ebay. but when you start to figure all the fee's and the fuzz on ebay we have found out we make more money after expenses on other auction sites like Webidz,Yahoo ect!! Sure you don't have as many customers as of now like ebay but you will as we do get more sales every week on here! The best thing to do on any auction site is have a mixer of items to sell for the whole family! Do smaller mark ups to start with to get new customers and have them come back again!! You can always raise your mark up back up later! Makes a big differance!
As far as M & J TRADING is concern out of 5 websites and 6 other Auction Sites that were on Webidz is still the best by the far on trafic, sales and most of all the Admin Folks that treat you like a person and not a $ sign!
Good Luck were ever you go!

Hello folks, I am a new Webidz member!! I have to say I was thrilled to see how well Webidz is ranking on the search engines for "auctions". I have been on ebay since 1998 with a excellent feedback record when I left.
Now, what I would like to know is...Does Webidz offer T-shirts, caps...any apparel with their logo on it? How about stickers or such for my truck? (I hate stickers on my truck but I would do it lol)
Another question. How long does it take to get verified? I applied for verification this morning and I'm anxious to get started.

htp,
We would suggest that you do not enter any WeBidz information in your eBay listings. eBay is already trigger happy in suspending sellers, and we don't want anybody getting in trouble for trying to promote WeBidz. There are probably ways around their policies, but we would rather you did not take the risk.
We greatly appreciate your ideas, but please do not do anything that could jeopardize your business elsewhere. You could add signatures in your emails, which your current and future eBay customers would be able to see.

We started thinking about promotional products last year, but have yet to act on this. This was mostly due to budget... or lack of budget for this. We just recently started running in the black, so possibly we need to start looking into this again.
Once we do get such products, there may be some that would be free. But most of the products we would offer through the site, would be sold at our cost.
Although verification is an automated process, it sometimes takes up to 30 minutes to complete. If after 30 minutes your account is not verified, please open a ticket at the below url. be sure to enter the ticket as a billing issues, and enter all the appropriate data.

I recommend you go to your PayPal account and look up the last years transactions. Each of those transactions will have the email address of your customers. It is easier than trying to get that information out of eBay. I am emailing each of my customers (except the crazees) :) with the link and information to webidz to come check out me and all the other rebels.

Basically I am responding to the post by gizzer77. Gizzer, I think you are probably a product of the instant gratification generation. Success takes time to achieve. Do you think that 10 years ago, you could list 100 items on eBay and have all 100 sell within the first week? It took ebay several years to attract the traffic it has now, but it was not just eBay, it was the ebay sellers being patient. If you open a business in a strip mall today, your banker and accountant will advise you to be prepared for 3-5 years before you really start to see growth and profit. I have been on WeBidz since the end of January. I have not sold anything ....yet. But I am sure it will come. I will continue to build my inventory and watch the registered users base continue to grow, and with it will come sales. And considering there are zero insertion fees and zero FVF's, why on earth would you wanna go back to ebay??

Hey Admin,
Just wanted to let you know I closed my eBay store about 2 hours ago, after 4 years over there. I had an announcement on my store pages that told anybody who looked that I was moving to WeBidz.com
Well, probably lucky I guess, but ebay never picked up on it. But here's the funny side. If they had, what were they gonna do, suspend me? When I am leaving anyway?
Glad to be on WeBidz and hope we all grow together.

Hello, I'm new here, and was reading what everyone has to say in here. I also have been on ebay for several years, one thing, I know that makes ebay selling, more profitable, is the fact they have groups, those groups have thousands of members, and those members buy from each other.
It would be nice if this site could also have groups, forums that members could set up, for their own use, and be able to set them to either be public or private. I believe this would bring in a lot of others from ebay, as most group leaders over there are also Sellers and Buyers, and they are looking for an alternative site to have their group.
I have a group over there, and have been looking for Months, for another site, that offers selling, buying, and groups. This may not sound like it would increase Sales here, but I assure you it would. A great many of ebay buyers are group members buying from each other, if they didn't have the groups over there, their sales would drop drasticlly, because people would be leaveing that site by the droves.
I'm not saying you want to pull those people over to this site, but after looking at thousands of web sites, and many of those are Sites for Selling, they lack the one thing that would make them stand tall like ebay is. They need groups that people can set up and communicate in, away from the public forum that each site has.
It is food for thought, wouldn't you say ?

Phil,
We are very happy that you feel comfortable enough with WeBidz to close shop there and move over here, and also for your enthusiasm. We would recommend that you do not do anything to jeopardize your account with eBay though. Maybe some day they will realize the err of their ways, and change their fee structure. You never know... and it might be good to keep that door open for possible future use. We never want members to feel like they have to do something to promote our site, when it could be detrimental to their long term business.
You are very right about it taking time to build a business. WeBidz has been around for just over three years, and was not able to be self sufficient until almost the three year mark. We just recently (about 4 months ago) started running in the black. So we are now able to start allocating more funds for advertising, contests, etc. So we expect growth for the coming months to be significantly higher than our current "very healthy" growth rate. We appreciate all our wonderful members, and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.

Not a problem Admin. I just took the position of using the last 2 weeks to let my customers know where I was going. And to be honest, if eBay were to rescind the decision about forcing sellers to have a minimum price of $1 on store listings, I still would not reopen my store over there. There store subscriptions are too high ($15.95 for basic) and their fee structure is too high. And when you consider they own PayPal as well, like George on Seinfeld, they are double dipping.

Hello Webidz,
I understand both people's frustration with the lack of sales and the admin position of not wanting to become the next eBay.
I wouldn't want Webidz to be eBay. I have some serious problems with eBay, that said we do need more buyers here, but Webidz should not do eBayesque tactics to get them.
I work with two groups of sellers. Some sell on ebay, some of us sell of Webidz. There are some items that sell better on ebay, but when you are like us with a LOT of low price items that you want to list for a long time, eBay is not the way to go for most things - and with the new changes it is even worse in many cases.
The admin is right. Go with what works, Drake.

Two Cents Worth! I am not much for chat rooms- just simply don't feel I have the time or patience for it. I have found that this site depends on it and also see google see's it too. I read the last few messages and understand how some feel and some of it comes from frustration. Frustration that may not have anything to do with this site or any other. Before you think I am nuts just look at the times we are living in, older guys like me are not comfortable with new technology like the kids of today. The government has gone in seperate directions from the wishes of the people. Ebay has, as said earlier realized that the bottom line is the most important thing or people get replaced. Sole ownership here is not a good thing but a great thing when it comes to foresight of the intended mission. While we may not always argree with the management here, it has greater advantages of pleasing more of the mass'es than ebay does. I for one would like to see this site do well and in time out perform ebay. I am still having some trouble with how a few thing here work but by golly see it as a lot better than ebay. I also list on ebay and really hate to do it. I saw the problems coming in the late 90's. Actually problems have always been on ebay. From the first time I listed on ebay to today I dispised not just ebay but the very primiss of hiding behind a fake name - it just breeds trouble. Yes I understand security and safety. Still , own what you do. I am a straight talker and make people mad sometimes but you don't have to worry about me lying to or about you. If this site can get a few things fixed it will be great! Already better than ebay. I would rather be patient about sales here than pay fees when things don't sell. Be bombarded by ID thieves, (yes it happens on ebay), deal with a company that dictates almost all the moves and tells you who and how you can deal. Even paypal outsources its labor - call customer service and see for yourself. Thank you Webidz!

That's sure true! But there is no rule against thanking a buyer from the other site, when they pay, I simply respond with a sincere Thank you, and my signature invites them to visit my other store for more of my auction's. So, far, I've seen several names join here, since I've been doing that. I don't think, there can be a violation, in the way you thank your buyer, for purchasing from you. Does anybody know of that being a violation? Tom.

I think it is a great idea to let them know about your other store here! Chances are the buyers are paying with paypal. If that is the case you should have a personal email outside of FE*e*Bay for them.
It is not a violation if you use that email and direct them to Webidz.
I know that the auctions I still have at the other site are higher priced because of their new fees bleeding me dry. When I send a follow up email now I am sure to let them know that they could have saved $xx.xx by purchasing here.
Chances are if you do this enough you will start seeing your customers not only move here but spread the word too! :D
I have ben listing with Ebay for over a year but in Feb slowed down there as sales were down and fees were up. I had months where it cost me to be there and my unsold item fees ate any would be profits.They encourage starting low but then if you list an item for $.99 and it sells, by the time you pay Ebay & Paypal you are lucky enough to have your shipping costs to pay for the ink.
It is like giving it away when you sell low on ebay! Then they encourage shipping discounts so I tried using their formulas. One day I had a last minute bidder scoop up 27 auctions.Initially thrilled to have the sales, it took me 3 days to make all the artwork and since I do my own printing, the ink is more expensive for me than a commercial printing company, however since I only make individual printings, it would cost me more to outsource~
So I made the 27 ACEO's , each at $.99 but with my promotional shipping on Ebay which was -$1 off per additional item shipping as was listed by their suggestions to have discounts..It took me 3 days to make the items yet collctively they all sold for less than the initial shipping. I have since changed the discounts there to 40% but if I get a customer like that again,I would still be in the same boat.
It works 'okay' if they buy 2-3 items as then I can cover production material costs, but what is the purpose then of even bothering to sell when they dont cover time, talent or expertise?
My ACEOS have sold for as high as $23 each initially and after a few months averaged about $10-12 each, but with the economy as it is I kept the starting bids at $.99 or less but the trend got to where I would get only 1-2 bidders on and item and they'd go for $.99-$1.04 The listing would cost $.35- $.45[UK] and then PayPal charges a min of $.50 when you recieve a payment, so who is getting the money?Certainly not me!
I even considered placing a $.30 fee for winners who pay by paypal on orders under $10 but then there are no bidders.I considered only accepting checks or money orders, but that delays shipping and risks bounce check fees or scammers. I spend endless hours trying to alter my prices and shipping to give a good deal online, but to find the right selling price that wont leave me broke when all is said and done is quite frustrating at times. I made $300 one month but the Ebay fees were $70 and the Paypal fees were $32 and shipping of over 100 items , some requiring tracking [$.75 each surcharge at the PO] left me in the RED at the end of the month.. worse yet, with the false sense if success, I spent that same amount making purchases in Ebay and a couple other auctions sites , thinking I made money UNTIL the fees hit and dipped into my social security!
I really do hope this site is successful as well as many of the other little guy sites.I cant get out like I used to since I am disabled now,but the whole idea for me to even sell ACEO's and little prints is to show the artworld that I am back and doing my artwork again after a couple of decades hiding out in the woods since my accident.I left NYC in 1984 when making an average of $75 per hour doing freehand murals and signs all over. I fell through a window , severed my right hand and was out of business overnite and lost everything I had within a year including my store and home and ended up homeless with 3 small children.
Licking my wounds I headed for the hills, went on disability and raised my kids.After several reconstuctive surgeries and 20 + years limited use of my hand, I started to get nerve regeneration that enables me to paint and draw again without taping the implements to my hand .The reattachment was also done crooked so I had to relearn how to lean and draw again.In the last 10 years alone I have had over 24 operations, some major as I also have lupus and heart trouble so I could never go back to a 'real job' so I try to supplement my rent and bills with some online sales now, but still it hasnt surpassed the level of hobby yet and takes all my waking hours to make a buck here and there.I report to Social Security but havent exceeded $85 in any given month yet so they dont count it as extra income til that happens BUT with that said I am working round the clock online trying to accomplish something and reestablish an art business...
I think it can all happen online, however and keep putting every extra cent I have into it , joining art sites and auctions and places like Etsy as well [only had 44 sales there in 19 months avg $1-$5, so again not more than a hobby]
With sites like this however I think more and more people will be shopping online as I have begun to do since gas prices are so high I dont go out often,mostly to mail an item someone bought. BUT even there, my PO is 8 miles away and I live rurally so the gas being factored into shipping leaves me at a loss as well. Sometimes I may have only one sale in a week so I have to go to town to ship and if that item SH is $3.95 and the actual postage is $1 and printing the item was a $1 and packing materials were $.50 and listing fees were $.35 and Paypal $.50 that means I would get about $.60 on the shipping which would be lost in the 1.5 gallons of gas it takes to go to town and back~ Then instead of keeping shipping at $3.95 I lowed it to $2.75 and some to $1.75 hoping to have a few orders at the same time to cover the expenses.
All my merchandise is 'virtual' and not created usually til it is purchased as my home is too small to store any more than it already holds, however my ideal would be to sell larger prints and orginal paintings again.So if selling ACEO's gets me 'known' again, it is like advertising so in that sense I justify to my kids how I have to keep at it and work as I am doing now. I have managed over the last 18 months to have a place in the search engines, so if anyone were to look for me they could find me as Ave Hurley[my name] and Ave Hurley Illustrations. it just gets tiring surfing the net and basically peddling my artwork~ yet on the other hand I am home anyway and havent much else to do, so I find the auction sites to be fun because you never know when someone is going to bid or for what price.
I still treat every sale like a million and always give away other pieces of art with every sale as I hate to just send one picture when the envelope can hold more, so I tend to stuff them, lol which is why the customers I have had give me 100% feedback.
Have a great day~!

Tom..hey there and to everyone.. I personally do not see that that would
be a infraction of any kind..as long as your buyer is not one of the GREEDbay
cops or a 'pink'.. I do not sell there now, but I think it a good idea..:)
(just my 2 cents:))

I think it is a great idea to let them know about your other store here! Chances are the buyers are paying with paypal. If that is the case you should have a personal email outside of FE*e*Bay for them.
It is not a violation if you use that email and direct them to Webidz.
I know that the auctions I still have at the other site are higher priced because of their new fees bleeding me dry. When I send a follow up email now I am sure to let them know that they could have saved $xx.xx by purchasing here.
Chances are if you do this enough you will start seeing your customers not only move here but spread the word too! :DThanks , it does seem to be bringing people here. Once here, they sure could buy. I've had 2 buyer's, 1 just Great! The other never paid and no response at all. I've bought a few things here, Everything has been great. Except, I have one seller, that I brought from last month, Couldn't contact, because the email address here and on my accepted payment notice were not valid, UNKNOWN. She did follow up. saying she is borrowing a comp, and that the auction, will be shipped this week. I can understand comp problem's. Pmt was accepted mid Sept. Seem's fair, that would have been the time to mail the item I won, comp or none. Shrug. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles some times.
