What's a BIN?

(Before anyone says it's a stupid question, have you ever tried Googling
that?)

Hi.

Trying to register, still waiting for the confirmation eMail, maybe traffic
is a bit busy.

Just one thing....

> The fees are a lot cheaper than on ebay

Just looking at the fee schedule, BINs charged at 1% of start price for
listing? (or have I mis-read that?) That's more than I pay on eBay, I can
list a ?149.50 computer and it costs me 75p per category. For a new site, I
would suggest waiving all standard listing fees to get people to try you
out. eBid is still zero listing fees.

For a new site, it's looking good though! Just need a few more zeros on the
registered users number! And as we all know, it's not all about the sellers,
it's about the buyers - if there's plenty of people browsing through and
buying, then it's populatiry will pick up no end.

Thanks, Mark.
