eBid

Yes. eBid is still running in 2026 with country sites such as ebid.net/us and ebid.net/uk. Reviews describe it as a low-cost auction and fixed-price marketplace operating in over 100 countries. It is much smaller than eBay, and third-party data shows declining search interest, so expect less buyer traffic than on larger marketplaces.

Listing items on eBid is free. When an item sells, eBid charges a final value fee that is capped at 3% of the sale value. For example, a sale of $7.88 would cost about 24 cents in fees. Optional Seller+ membership upgrades exist, but check eBid's current fee page for their prices.

No. eBid does not charge buyers to join, bid or browse, and there is no buyer's premium added when a buyer wins an auction. Shoppers can browse without an account. Sellers set their own shipping costs and return policies, and returns listed on eBid are commonly between 14 and 30 days.

Reviews report that buyers pay eBid sellers through PayPal or by credit card, and seller comments also mention PayPal integration. Payment goes to the seller rather than being held by eBid like a managed payments system. Confirm the payment options available on your account in eBid's help pages before listing.

eBid is a British company that has operated since 1998. It runs separate country sites for sellers and buyers in many regions, including the United States and United Kingdom, and supports several languages. Older reporting cited around 8 million page impressions a month, a small audience compared with eBay.

eBid offers few formal protections compared with eBay, and each seller sets their own return policy. Review sites give mixed ratings, with a Trustpilot average around 3.8 out of 5 reported in one review. Sellers should use tracked shipping, clear listing terms and a payment method with its own seller protection.
