Ghost town?

[Nopey09]

Listen everyone, I didn't mean to come off wrong or anything. I guess what I was expecting was just a place I could post a few things I have in my house that I never use. I need money. I don't own a business, no wholesale or retail outlet. I am a custom stone/tile installer whos been out of work, and I needed to 'quicklike' make some money. I went to ebay a long time ago and ya, they charge a lot, but when you're hurting you really don't care, anythings better than nothing. As for my statement about paying five bucks here? Well, I had no idea what I was getting into by joining, I thought it was a site similar to ebay where I could make a few hundred (or my asking price for whats auctioning) w/in a week or so. Five bucks is nothing, I hand out fives to the homeless all day long, when I have it to give. When you're 6 days late and 700.00 short on rent, and every site you go to in attempt to sell something so you can make some money, it gets irritating, kinda puts one in a bad mood agree? Soaccept my humble apoligies, I do not need anyone to 'view' my items, I need what you guys need, people off the streets to come in and bid or buy. Thanks for the thoughts though, it IS the thought that counted.

I am sorry that you are upset sir/ma'm. We were not aware that you have listed some new items. If you were to let me know where these listings are I will be happy to go view them.

Yes, there have been many sales made on Webidz, if you go to the home page of Webidz, far right colum scroll down you will see a list of the top seller, I beleive there are about a dozen names there. I personally sold 2 items today and received 4 bids. I have only been here since about the second week of December. I have listed over 300 items most of which have relisted 6-10 times and have made 11 sales. Maybe that is not enough by your standards, but how much did you pay to list those items? How much advertising did you do? How much time have you invested?

I am very sorry for my attitude, but for someone to come in register today and want instant sales, you are in the wrong place. You don't even get that on the other auctions sites, I know I was there before I came here. Starting a new business takes time, and you have not give it enough of that.

Hello Nopey,
If Admin has items posted please let me know, I would like to see what he has to offer for sale. He has made no money off of me except the $5.00 verification for selling....I have a free store so unless I add extras, I don't pay a red cent to list.
I have made one sell since i registered (Jan 08) and have purchased 3 items and have a bid on 1 currently.
Those that I have bought and currently have the bid on are most certainly not mass produced items.
Many people come to auctions to find good deals that they would not be able to find on mass produced itmes in a store. My husband is one of those people.
We are just everyday normal working people like yourself who are trying to make a living also. Jumping off the deep end to start a business and hope that it at least breaks even at the end of the year.
What are you selling? Did you open a store? If so what is the name of it? We will check it out.
Do some of your own advertising. Tell friends, people that you know on the net, any former customers, that you have auctions running here and to visit.
BTW. Your join date was today......how did you post items for sale a day or two ago??
We are happy that you are here and wish you the best for success.

Were not a wholesaler! Were just lke everyone else on here trying to make a dollar! We have sold alot of items on here! It just takes time!! I know for a fact that when you start selling on a new site you might not get bids right of way! That includes Ebay! We been there and done it! I've been here 2 years or so and as far as i know admin doesn't have items selling on here! Think about it! How much did it cost you to list those items on ebay and not get bids and how much did it cost you to list it here and not get bids? Give it a chance!

Hey there,

So you have a couple of items listed for sale. Over at the Bay that would have cost you say 40c to list if they are priced under a dollar, but more if the price is higher. Anyway, I have 75 items listed, get many views but in the 5weeks I have been here, not one bid. But you know what, I am happy. Why? I am no longer giving ebay between $100 and $150 a month for lip service. here I get responses from Admin when I have questions, the people are all friendly and willing to help. And I get it all for free. How can you top that!! Give it some time, list more items have patience.
