eBid Site Updates August/September

[amy]

August/September Updates:

Removal of Google ads
Due it numerous requests from our users we have today removed google ads from the main auction site. This is partly to ensure high speed for our site and partly due to complaints that buyers could be diverted to other sites selling competing products.

We will be losing income by doing this but the satisfaction of our users with a view to the long term success of eBid is more important to us.

Best Wishes to All

Site Updates - 8th September 2006
+ Export Listings facility available for auctions you are selling and auctions you listed. The file is a tab delimited file that can be opened in excel or open office. It is formatted in our eBid spreadsheet format.

+ Feedback can be filtered by positive, neutral and negative.

+ Due to numerous requests, bidders from Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Spain and France can now register via their own country sites. These sites are currently being developed for home language support.

+ We have started working with our new designers on our new look. From what we have seen of their work, we are very excited to be working with them and taking eBid forward.
