Every complaint I see about ebid.net mentions how few sales sellers get. As a buyer on ebid.net, I think the reason is that there are few buyers because there is no consumer protection. For example, if a seller sends the wrong item, on Ebay or Amazon, the process goes like this: Hit the return button -> print the return label -> post -> receive refund. Whereas on ebid.net, the process would be more like: Send message to seller -> Receive message that seller does not monitor this inbox -> look for seller email and send message -> Send another message threatening small claims action -> either give up as waste of time or pursue small claims, depending on the amount -> go to court etc... An ebid buyer is only going to last until they have had to return an item, whereupon they are going to realise they are much better off at Ebay. In my case, I only made 1 purchase, received the wrong item and decided to give up and delete my ebid account.
