I Want to Hear from You! Any Ideas for Fun New Features & Promotions? Plus New Items & More

Over the past few months you may have noticed that we've increased our advertising and marketing efforts in order to attract more buyers and sellers to our website. We're trying out new and exciting features and giveaways; and we're also looking for fun and creative ways to give you and our other members additional things to do on our website. Some of the ideas we've been throwing around include weekly planned discussions on various topics in our forums, special auctions for exclusive and hard to find items, bidStart the game (where you can buy, sell and collect virtual items), and many others.

However, I would personally like to hear from you. Please let me know any ideas that you may have for something you'd like to see on our website. What new features, promotions, exclusives or anything else could we add to make your experience on our website more enjoyable and worthwhile? Please let me know by posting in this topic in our forums. I will be personally reviewing this thread and taking all of your ideas into consideration.

Thank You!
Mark Rosenberg
President, bidStart

For the last two years we've submitted all of our fixed price and store items to Google Base so that these items all appear in Google and Google Product Search (auction items are not allowed). At last count that was over 2 million listings which people could find on Google and would be brought directly to that item page on bidStart.

In addition to Google Base, you can now find all of our comic book and sports card/memorabilia fixed price and store items over $15 on NexTag. NexTag is a very popular shopping comparison site, especially in these categories. Unlike Google Base, NexTag does charge for clicks, but we'll be covering all of the costs, so sellers will be getting added exposure at no additional cost! Over the next few weeks we'll review our progress with NexTag, and look into expanding our listings to include stamp and coin items as well.
