### 2/5 — Is Anyone Still Updating This App

*2023-07-08, version 1.20*

Just wondering if this App has been left to die or if someone Is actually still running/updating it. Still I have to plough through sub headings, then sub sub headings etc just to list anything. Please streamline it and make it more user friendly if you are going to keep it alive

### 2/5 — Dire for a pro site

*2022-11-10, version 1.20*

Keeps asking me to upgrade to sell, despite having an email receipt for payment.

The only thing positive thing I can say is that it is better than the website which keeps crashing when I waste my time trying to list.

### 1/5 — Only interested in selling there £50+ membership

*2020-12-06, version 1.20*

Never sold anything, ever. Had another look after many years, same items for sale, same awkward navigation, same absence of traffic, only thing changed is their lifetime sign up fee has gone up.

### 1/5 — Can’t even register

*2020-11-09, version 1.20*

This should probably be fixed. I mean, if you want people to actually be able to use your app.

### 1/5 — Error Messages

*2020-07-27, version 1.20*

Every time you logon all you get is a never ending stream of error messages

### 1/5 — Don’t use Ebid

*2020-07-18, version 1.20*

Do not use I lost $100 on this app...

### 2/5 — So unfriendly app

*2020-07-17, version 1.20*

Awful app... just straight up trash

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2020-06-12, version 1.20*

Most user-unfriendly app I’ve ever used. Spent an hour trying to sign up, but the non-stop error messages pushed me to just delete the app. Not worth the struggle.

### 3/5 — App Needs Attention

*2020-05-18, version 1.20*

App usually gives 2 to 4 index.html errors upon launch, but if you keep pressing ok it will login etc. 

Overall app is not bad. I don’t recommend listing or editing items with the app, for everything else it’s fine.

### 1/5 — No presence

*2020-04-25, version 1.20*

I joined for life (£50) but quickly realised there is no traffic so no point spending time listing stuff. For example I get reminders that an item I’m ‘watching’ is ending soon. It’s not overpriced and on other sites would have sold quickly but I’ve been watching it for 4 years!

### 3/5 — FIX RIGHT NOW<:(

*2020-04-21, version 1.20*

I’m giving it three stars because it’s great, except for one thing. WHY DO YOU NEED TO UPGRADE JUST TO SELL! C’MON, THIS IS STUPID! AND ITS $70! THERE’S NO WAY I WILL PAY THAT MUCH MONEY JUST TO SELL! FIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 RESPOND ASAP!

### 1/5 — Terrible Navigation??

*2020-03-13, version 1.20*

When I search for something why must I then select and navigate through a sub category, then a sub sub category, then a further sub sub sub category, simply ridiculous!  Developers please take a look at eBay to see how a successful app works

### 1/5 — Is this a joke?

*2019-09-02, version 1.20*

$100 to join to sell stuff?!?! Is this a joke?

### 1/5 — too risky

*2018-12-27, version 1.16*

A place to buy where buyers can rip you off and there’s nothing you can do because this company don’t give a them about his clients Don’t buy here is too risky

### 1/5 — Really?

*2018-06-11, version 1.16*

The search option is a nightmare. Put something into the search bar and instead of taking you to items you will spend time going through prompts to narrow down the search. If you can’t provide listings for search request instantly I will go to other sites that can provide much better and faster search results. It’s 2018 and I expect instant results.

### 1/5 — EBay download dies not work.

*2026-02-22, version 1.20*

EBay download dies not work

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2025-04-30, version 1.20*

Sadly it does not function when trying to set shipping method.

### 1/5 — Horrible format

*2024-06-02, version 1.20*

I gave the Ebid app a try because I was looking for an eBay alternative. This isn’t it. The search function is an absolute joke - I had to click through seven, yes seven, subcategories to get items to even pop up, none of which were what I was originally looking for. You can’t just type in a general search i.e. “Garmin” and have results pop up. To be honest, I’m surprised that people even sell on this format. As a customer, i was so annoyed that I deleted this app less than five minutes after downloading it.

### 1/5 — Heaps of runtime errors

*2024-01-28*

Just download and try to run. A bunch of errors popping up. Do you even test your software.

### 1/5 — Pitiful

*2024-01-25, version 1.20*

Pitiful isn’t the word

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-02-10, version 1.20*

Would give the app zero stars if I could. It’s like AOL dial up. Obviously the company doesn’t care since it hasn’t been updated in over 3 years. It’s not even compatible with iPhone 11 🤦‍♀️. This site could be so good if the company gave a crap and put some effort in it. The seller fees are so cheap here they could give another auction site a run for it’s money. It’s sad eBid doesn’t want to be better and bigger

### 1/5 — Cannot even connect to the Internet

*2022-05-07, version 1.20*

Hard to write whether this app is any good or not because, despite trying it on two different devices, in neither case cannot manage to connect to the Internet even though Wi-Fi is connected and working well.

### 1/5 — Do not use eBid

*2021-11-08, version 1.20*

First of all, the app doesn’t even work on my iPhone 12. Won’t even start up. Nevertheless, eBid, the entire website, is a sham. I bought something a month ago and the sender keeps sending it to California. Wanna contact the website? Good luck. I have 4 emails, and every time I enter an email on the Contact Us page, it says “error with the email”. No matter if it’s iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail. It’s ridiculous. Don’t go on this website. Even if Google recommends it when you’re searching for an item. Just don’t. Unreliable and no customer support. 0/5

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-08-10, version 1.20*

Doesn’t work on iPhone

### 1/5 — Too many bugs!

*2021-07-07, version 1.20*

First of all you cannot upload photos from your iPhone and you can only upload one at a time on a laptop or desktop and each photo takes at least 30 seconds also there’s no editing the photo other than cropping once it’s on the site.The bugs in it keep telling my iPhone that it has trouble connecting to the Internet your choices are “cancel or try again “ and no matter what you do it keeps giving you the same frozen screen. Also the categories are very limited if you want to sell for example antiques it won’t let you just list a category like barn items

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2025-03-20, version 1.20*

It works exactly as it is supposed to work! Easy to use!

### 5/5 — Don’t let the fake reviews sway you

*2020-12-10, version 1.20*

EBid is the best site for selling fees. As in, you only have to give the correct portion to the site for hosting and can actually make a profit on every day priced items. You pay once and have five stores for life! The lower prices and word of mouth will bring buyers. I sell low cost items. I sell on the other site but I make a small margin because of the fees. I have sold two things on eBid so far and the difference was huge! between the cut they take there and the cut the big other site takes. I have the app on my android and I’m going to try it out here on the iPhone

### 5/5 — Advertise

*2020-01-23, version 1.20*

Please get on tv. Advertise. You could be so good with your low fees. Take Ebay down.

### 5/5 — App Works!!

*2014-08-17, version 1.4*

For anyone having a problem with the app, simply logout and log back in. This resolved an issue for me and now the app works perfectly! The support team is quick to answer and resolve any issues immediately so don't hesitate to ask. I also want to add that the layout of this app is very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2014-05-31, version 1.4*

I wanted to list items on ebid with my phone and this app is perfect. Not sure how good it is for browsing and buying buy for lusting its great.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-04-04, version 1.3*

Good site

### 4/5 — Hope “sales”soon!

*2019-12-05, version 1.20*

The app is great and far more affordable than eBay! Buying a lifetime membership is far less expensive than eBay which charges % for listing and takes a % for shipping on top of that eBay charges monthly for a store... I listed twice as much on eBid so far!! It has been almost a year and unfortunately no sales yet....hoping it will eventually pick up!

### 4/5 — Great for selling

*2014-09-10, version 1.4*

Like others, I'd love to see the eBay empire spectacularly fall off its overpriced and extortionate perch.  I haven't bought anything off ebid so I don't know how it is for browsing.  However the listing experience is as good as that offered by the eBay app, and makes it much easier to get on and list stuff than it ever was on the website.

The former lack of an app caused me to give up on ebid, but now with this I will be listing a lot more.  Hopefully other sellers will do the same.  More choice for buyers = less business for eBay...

### 4/5 — Very good app

*2014-08-20, version 1.4*

The only thing that I would like to see is a social share option.  The app could also be a little smoother as far as the touch and switching to different pages goes.  Other than that I love this app.

### 3/5 — Errors

*2020-12-15, version 1.20*

Lots of errors and the search function is messed up.  Let me search my UPC or model.
