But the prize for best version of the regifting story goes to a surprising winner: Tazbar. “Were your Christmas presents pants?” asks their email. And comes with this delightful image. Would could resist? 😀

Yes I got that email from Tazbar. As I’ve never managed to sell a damn thing on Tazbar (unlike Ebid where I’ve sold a few things) I just deleted it.
Great advert, but as Tazbar have yet to find any customers it’s a bit wasted. Still can’t say they haven’t made the effort.
I have mananged to sell one thing on Tazbar this year, pity the buyer never paid or responded to email or it would have beaten Ebid by 100%!
I think both Tazbar and Ebid need to put some serious effort (and money) into attracting buyers, and by buyers, I mean people who ONLY buy, not people who buy because they’re on there selling too. Both sites seem like they’re going in the right direction: they look slicker and more professional than they did a year ago, and they seem to have devoted communities around them, but so far, I don’t see either of them bringing buyers in in the droves they would need to. And I can’t see that “pissed off ex-eBay sellers buying and selling amongst themselves” is enough, somehow.
Actually I have sold 43 items on Ebid in the last year. Not enough to consider actually switching from Ebay to Ebid, but not bad I suppose, especially as there are no listing fees and the FVFs are considerably lower. And I only have jewellery BINs listed there, no CDs at all.
Nothing at all on Tazbar though.
