Pheebay & Hibidder, united bashing of OAI sites and sellers--and the gated P.E.A.C.E. connection
So it's about time I posted back here as I said I would. Has anyone been watching the site wars at PSU as of late? Have you noticed a few Hibidder threads where posts have been deleted at the request of HB mods? Have you seen the amount of threads that have been locked down that pertain to HB over the past year?
Well it gets even better, take a look at the link below: http://www.pheebay.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=109 Can you see it without registering at the site? Well at the time of this posting the threads in that link are only viewable if you are logged into Pheebay. below is a sample of the statements that the Pheebay owner Graham (posting ID sunray) is making. Quote:Of course I would never say anything like this in any other forum. Very respectable Graham!!! Now don't get me wrong but understand that the statement above was directed at Mo, the owner of Plunderhere, but this was a planned effort on the part of Pheebay and Hibidder to sort of take the pressure off Hibidder. The lack of respect for customers that has been seen on the part of Hibidder as of late in PSU was the pressure I am talking about. The personal vendetta against Mo from both Hibidder and Pheebay has resulted in a personal attack against individual online sellers as well. But take a look for yourself and make your own judgements. Let the Truth be Told |

Well congratulations are in order....a link to this thread has made it into Graham's Rubbish Bin.
Two posters seem to find Truth's ID a bit amusing and imply he's not telling the whole story. Well, I'm not sure which part they think is inaccurate since, as usual, they only implied something was untrue but failed to back it up with anything of substance. They also seem to think Truth should have mentioned Mo called them "balless bas!ards". Yep she did. No big secret there. She repeated it on PSU. Was she justified in saying it? Personally, I think she was seeing as this group has done nothing but bash her repeatedly and now they've chosen to hide their antics away in a private little bashing room. So I agree wholeheartedly with her assessment of them. I also think Graham hid this little bashing forum as a ploy to recruit new members. So if anyone wants to know what's really being said over there, but doesn't want to join...just let me know. I have screenshots of the entire thread. Now if you'll excuse me, I feel the need to go take a long hot shower. I get that feeling every time I visit that place.
Never argue with an idiot they drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

My main selling channel is my websites but I'm looking for "alternative venues" to use primarily as marketing channels--i.e. for customer acquisition (I don't do eBay so don't even suggest it).
I'd gladly add HiBidder to the list of venues I sell on if its owner could tell me what his site has to offer that my current and planned alternative venues (see list below) don't offer (hint: I'm a full time seller not a part time/hobby seller--I'm interested in sales and could care less about a venue's friggin' "community forum" or belonging to a "family") my current alternative venue: Amazon (monthly fee, free listings, 80+ million customers) venues I'll be adding in January Ubid (free listings, 4.5 million customers) NewEggMall--new venue from NewEgg (1st 6 months free, free listings, NewEgg has 8 million customers) If HiBidder's owner, or any other phpprobid/rscript site owner, can convince me that their site can offer me more sales than my current/planned alternative venues then I'll gladly join their site. (another hint: if your site's monthly GMV is less than my monthly sales I probably won't be joining your site because if you can't even beat me you're definitely not an alternative to eBay for full time sellers). I expect to be hearing from lots of alternative site owners. |

Quote:(hint: I'm a full time seller not a part time/hobby seller--I'm interested in sales and could care less about a venue's friggin' "community forum" or belonging to a "family") Namely a gated "community forum" as Hibidder is and the dustbin thread is at Pheebay (personal bashing thread where Graham can air his true personality).

Thought for the day for sellers (stolen from PSU):
2boysandtoys Wrote:Since the auction business is a hobby to him [HiBidder's owner Richie], there is no 'loss' to him if the site fails. To sellers all over who spend their time, energy and effort listing - it's far from a hobby. A recent history of site owners who regarded their sites as hobbies: 2005- LunarBid closed his hobby site without notice. 2005-BidZig closed his hobby site with a few days notice (no notice on the site, members were still joining 30 minutes before the plug was pulled). The owner lied about deleting all personal information and data (nothing was deleted - he didn't even delete closed auctions) and used the former members' personal information to spam them about the site's reopening a year later (RayWagglepoop did the exact same thing) 2006(?)-BidUpToday's owner had a child and closed his hobby site because it was taking up too much of his time. Honorable mention: GoShopGirl (the inspiration for TT's plum color scheme)- owner walked away from her site (she returned to eBay) without notice in May 2005. The abandoned site stayed up for another 1 1/2 years until its domain expired late last year.
"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 |
