website is in maintenance mode

[danrock101]

well I know there's plenty of auction sites out there, but I'll do black flips on the day that one over takes ebay. I hate ebay, but there's no alternative, I never thought anything would be as big as myspace but look at facebook... Gives me hope
oh and I'm no web designer but they've ruined their site, I could do a better job myself

i'm not sure the name is very good.. and there is a massive market out there.. Ebay are winning and i'm not sure they'll ever get beaten..

Whats your USP?

main question, what do you offer that ebay doesn't?

[minimaff]

Bidfolk is different to Ebay:

1st UK company!!

We offer free listings.

Less commission charged when selling.

Easy and friendly to use.

Thanks guys

While I welcome the competition, the market share you have is so insignificantly small that very few people will be willing to use it as they know ebay gets better coverage.

I signed up with ebid a long time ago and that never really came to anything.

[minimaff]

Ebid wasn't marketed right that's all. You wait and see we will take over in uk as we are based here not in the USA

[shorty]

ebay has a base here in the UK though, ebay is a world wide auction site so its going to be hard to get ahead of them in that market

but good luck

what protection do you give buyers and sellers?

[mk3 Cooper S]

what protection do you give buyers and sellers?

What because Ebay protects the buyers and sellers don't they !!!!!!! Not . And then they charge you though the nose for Paypal which doesn't offer much protection either!!!!

[minimaff]

It all through Pay Pal same as ebay, we offer other payment options such as rbs world pay, sage pay, google checkout and so on.

End of the day ebay is 12 years old now, so yes it has it bidders, but think back 20 years ago there was only Bt, now there are lots of phone compaines, so why not back a british company and lets see what happens.

We have just started today, so site is bare,, thats why we are asking people to sign up and list items to get the ball rolling, after all it does'nt cost you a penny....

Site live now.

Just list all items for 30 days to start with, once its bulked up do as you want.....

Thanks for your support................ Please inform friends and family members about our new service here in the UK.....
