]]> Comment on Celebrity auctions on eBay by Steve Fouracre http://blog.auctionalfie.com/2008/02/27/celebrity-auctions-on-ebay/#comment-812 Steve Fouracre Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:45:39 +0000 http://auctionalfie.wordpress.com/?p=51#comment-812 The bideasi websites aim to be the first real alternative to eBay. The vision was to create a website whereby both Buyers and Sellers would logically decide to visit bideasi FIRST before they would visit eBay and other similar websites. Sellers are only charged for successful auctions and are not charged for listing items on bideasi; are provided with a ready made market of Buyers; greatly reduces time spent by both Buyers and Sellers in listing, communicating to other members, buying and selling their items. bideasi provides a more competitive fee structure than eBay and rewards members with preferential fees for higher positive feedback scores. bideasi has developed an unique online marketplace that safeguards the interests of Sellers, but also at the same time provides fair and competitive prices for Buyers. We have recently been approached by Bob Swan of eBay with interest of acquiring bideasi, which we have subsequently declined as we want to remain in control of bideasi.

PropertyIndex, stop flooding Ebay with overpriced properties. Every PropertyIndex listing breaches Ebays links policy of "Links to websites to trade, sell or purchase goods outside of Ebay" - This policy also applies to Classified ad format listings, in other words Ebay is bending the rules for the spammer that they have struck a deal with, cutting other agents out who work hard with listings, whereas propertyindex is simply cutting and pasting info from their websites. No more bargain properties on Ebay, because nobody can find them, and people will stop listing them, there is no point because PropertyIndex has flooded the property categories!
