Hey GANG - Just a quick line to let you all know I now sell FILM STOCK on eBid , the alternative site to buy from other than eBay !!

Just go to : www.ebid.net

Do a search in the catagory of Movies & DVD OR enter 16mm Feature in the search bar and some of my listings will come up .

Right now I'm the only seller with 16mm films for sale and everything is cheaper than eBay !!

If successful I'll be leaving eBay - FOR GOOD !

Check it out [Big Grin]

Good luck David! Does Ebid have a single link that will show all items for a single seller?

Yes Janice , Thank you !

Here is my eBid store : www.ebid.net/us/stores/Ohio-Film-Collector-Exchange

I just set it up but I have 48 listings already on the site - here is a link to one of them , and from there you can see all the others I have by clicking on an image or the link that says " see more listing from this seller " .

Dave B, if i click on the links it comes up with no results, are they US only sales perhaps?

Posted by David Baker (Member # 3259) on July 06, 2018, 04:58 PM:

Tom when I click on the links , it takes me to both of them , the link of the store and the link to the particular item . And yes , I believe it is eBid/us .
David G , so then what are you doing wrong ??

There is an eBid.net/uk which does not seem to have much in cine.
The problem in buying from a non EU country is that British customs/VAT will be levied on any item valued at over £15 (GBP). In addition to the fee, the British Post Office also demands a charge for handling the matter. [Embarrassed]

I couldn't agree with you more, Ebay stinks. The tacked on fees are awful. The fee for shipping charges is pure robbery. I used to be a top rated seller but USPS was slow or didn't scan items So I didn't meet their quota so lost it. With all this crap you attract more people and things move with Ebay. I have no luck selling on the other 16mm film board that is full of fussy people and Larrys stupid rules. Good Luck Dave

I should buy something just to support you
