Texas Beach-Front Property to be Auctioned
NEW YORK, - eBid.net, today announces the official launch of its business in the US increasing its global presence to 18 territories across the US and Canada, UK, Africa, Asia and Australasia.
Following extensive trials analyzing the buying and selling habits of the online consumer across the US, eBid Co-Founder, Mark Wilkinson says the launch represents a significant milestone. “We now feel confident to invest in the expansion of our business and will continue to work in partnership with our US users to enable them to list items for sale globally in a safe and secure environment.”
In August this year, eBid recorded 1.3 million listings across the States with a substantial and consistent stream of new sign ups daily placing them second only to eBay in person to person online auctions. In the same period, revenues grew 45% month on month 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′.
With a clear strategy deeply rooted in the vision of its founders, eBid holds 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. Our support for ‘Average Joe’ trading 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 their launch, eBid is investing in a PR and radio media campaign.
About eBid.net
Founded in the UK in 1999, eBid.net is now a global company. With a commitment to person to person online auctions, eBid.net is recognized as the ‘best eBay alternative’ and provides subscribers with unlimited free listings, subscription deals and a standard minimal final value fee.

Online Auction eBid US Launch
Auctions International Inc., a technology company that owns and markets proprietary software that enables real time online auctions of virtually any commodity in the wholesale market, announced today that the first sale was registered and completed at wwwAutoBidLive.com on August 18, 2008.
Doug Mann, President and CEO, said, “The first sale was longer in coming than was anticipated, but the software worked flawlessly and reported all the bidding activity to management. The fact that this milestone sale went through automatically and without any intervention can be attributed to the excellence of site design and software quality.”
“This is the solid proof that we needed. At least two dealers have decided it was more cost effective to use our process than a physical auction. We are extremely pleased and look forward to additional sales running through the site as dealers become aware of www.AutoBidLive.com and its unique auction platform that allows dealers to expose all inventories at virtually no risk and minimal effort — the seller ultimately decides how and when to transact the sale. There is no cost to the dealer to get this added exposure to help move product. As long as the selling dealer obtains his price, it really doesn’t matter where the car is sold. When a trade is completed, the buyer and seller each pay a $100 fee. Today there are 1,200 vehicles posted on the site from various dealers in USA and Canada,” added Mann.
