I already have all three books, but what is ebid and what are it's advantages over eBay?

EBID is an auction site just like EBAY the difference is my Ebay fees are now 16% Partly because they "STEAL" 10% of the postage which really adds up if like me you send a lot of stuff overseas , You can list on EBID with no fees , no listing fees and no final value fees ,by paying a one off membership fee ,Unfortunately at the moment there aren't many buyers on EBID but I have sold some items and it is OK when selling to an audience such as TMF However If everyone migrated to EBID we could all benefit , if I put these books on Ebay I would have to set the BINP 16% higher to get the same net amount

Not the same as a book in your hand

It is about time that eBay faced some serious competition in the UK, where Craigslist has never really taken hold, so I wish EBID every success and will certainly consider joining. I hope they will treat their sellers with more respect than eBay has done. Apart from their indefensible imposition of fees on postage charges, eBay shows a worrying tendency to side with the buyer right or wrong, yet it is the seller who pays their fees.

How long before eBay starts charging a Buyer's Premium? I wouldn't put it past them.

Unfortunately though EBID has been around for over 11 years without impinging on Ebay's "monopoly" unless people join sell and bid they will never get anywhere
