Buddy Auctions and Buddy Points

More on eBid's new Buddy Points...

eBid has also introduced a new type of auction called Buddy Auctions.  All auctions are priced in "Buddy Points" and you can use the Buddy Points you earn to bid on Buddy Auctions....very similar to BidBayAuctionDinerBidWayAuctionCities.com 's BidBayBidWayCityBucks auctions and point system.  The question of whether eBid's eKid mascot is cuter than BidBayAuctionDinerBidWayAuctionCities.com's mascot RRRUFF! is open to debate  Smileytongueout

Hmm, the seller of the first Buddy Auction has been an eBid member since 1998...someone named Gazza...name sounds familiar--oh yeah, now I remember, that's one of eBid's owners. Wink

On the question of Buddy Points, I'll agree with what's her face...umm, I mean Amy and say I hope there are some controls in place to prevent a rise in non paying bidders as a result of this: "Other Methods of Earning Buddy Points: Making Bids # Using BuyNow"
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011

Quote:Buddy Points given for bidding, buynow and feedback have been temporarily suspended whilst a fairer solution is worked on.

Our apologies for this but some extreme use of the current system has lead us to have to make these changes.

This will be added to v3.0 of our software so we will have to set back launch date a little to cater for this, not too long though.
