To convey higher expectations to newcomers is probably what irritates me the most and should not be tolerated. Tell the newcomers exactly what to expect, no need to sugar coat it. eBid maintains low fees, doean't have nearly as many members as eBay and your sales depend on how much you promote yourself nobody or nothing is going to promote your listings other then you.
So before you join remember this: low fees = you need to promote your own items you will recieve some advertising but not big ad campaigns from eBid so it's all about you but the fees are very, very low. High fees = list your stuff, mispell words, use all CAPS, use any font you want sit back don't promote yourself as the site has already put themselves on the map with huge ad campaigns and pay big fees. It is up to the sellers to determine how they want to list, sell and promote. 1 way is cheap the other way is expensive. As Dzambo would say simple as that Amen!
