How's Bidville traffic like? I don't think they have this Mr Grabber system to grab one's eBay feedback over right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm thinking of opening a store there, but am thinking twice because of the fees. So just wanna know the feedback before I commit anything there. Thanks |

I'm not currently listing there but Bidville DOES have a good bulk-lister. You are allowed to display feedback for the OTHER site. They also have a feedback system of their own.
Traffic is key and it all depends on your item. Some things sell and others don't. Like all other place. You are not paying them for advertising so expect none.
Their shopping cart is functional.
If you have existing customers who can be lured there it could be a good place for you. |

My advice is to read the other threads here about Bidville before you decide one way or the other. In certain categories some sellers do OK. But most of us haven't had much luck over there, at least recently.
Glitches are another problem. Things don't get fixed, at least not quickly or permanently. They even closed their own boards so they wouldn't have to deal with all the complaints. That doesn't give a seller much confidence in the site.
Just check it out well before you spend any money on the site. It may or may not be a site for you. Personally it doesn't work for me.

Here is a link to a bidville chat board that someone made. Maybe anyone who has questions about Bidville can ask it there since they all still sell there. :)

Thank you
Have been reading some reviews about Bidville online. Seems like the management is not very prompt in replying to the users.
Will be considering carefully since there are fees invovled. Maybe it is best to try out Blujay than, since it is free. At least any risk is minimised. |

I started selling there when BV opened, and supported it for many years...since the last take-over, it is pretty much a waste of time and effort.
I don't even shop there anymore, half the time i can't get signed in because of ongoing glitches! |

I find Bidville works fine for me, don't seem to have any glitches anymore and sales stay stable for me.
I have a store and auctions and have been there since the begining.
I have a featured store and pay fees every three months. Find it equates out cheaper for me than when I just did a store and paid fvfs... |
