(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:23092008
London, England -- Offering online sellers and buyers the chance to
make money and find a bargain, award winning online auction site,
eBid.net, today announces its expansion into Portugal, Norway, Denmark,
Norway and Sweden increasing its global presence to 18 territories
across UK, the US and Canada, Africa, Asia and Australasia.
With over one million listings recorded in the UK in August '08, eBid
Co-Founder and COO, Mark Wilkinson says he's excited to invest in the
growth of his business. "This launch is in direct response to users in
these countries requesting to list their items for sale in a safe and
secure environment in partnership with a company that demonstrates its
commitment to person to person' trading and international growth."
In 2008, eBid revenues grew 25% month on month in the UK predominately
by attracting disgruntled eBay customers indicating a correlation
between eBay policy changes and a surge in new listings to eBid.
This year, the company was publicly recognised by winning the
prestigious Gold Award for Best eBay alternative on the net 2008' from
leading UK publication Webuser who, when issuing the award said: "This
excellent auction site is an impressive - and still expanding - eBay
alternative. It gives industrious sellers the chance to earn decent
money thanks to its relatively low charges".
With a clear strategy deeply rooted in the vision of its founders, eBid
continues to hold true to its original business model to provide a
viable two tier selling platform with the choice of zero subscription
costs and minimal fee on sale or subscription with zero final sale fee.
This unique approach enables significant profits for sellers.
Adds Wilkinson: "Over our 10 years we've worked to build an
international business that supports buyers and sellers across the
globe. We champion man on the street' trading which means, as other
online auction websites become predominantly focused on expanding the
business to consumer' strategy losing sight of the fundamental needs
of their customers, we are enjoying double digit monthly growth."
To support this expansion and drive new users to their site, eBid is
launching a radio, online and outdoor advertising campaign.
