Online auction site eBid is running a promotion for sellers. For a limited time, sellers can sign up for eBid's "Seller+ Lifetime" program for $49.99, regularly $99.99, and pay no additional fees on the site for life.

According to eBid's press release, visitors to the site more than doubled in the first 24 hours following eBay's recent fee and policy announcements made on January 29, 2008. eBid director Mark Wilkinson said in the release, "The changes to feedback have removed part of the bedrock that made eBay what it is today, a trading community built on the trust between the buyer and the seller. The new users we've seen at eBid in the last few days have told us they are keen to uphold one of the web's oldest and fairest business models and we welcome them here to eBid to carry this on."

The UK-based site said it regularly boasts over 600,000 items for sale at any time including toys and games, electrical appliances, home entertainment items and fashion brands.

The promotion ends at Midnight February 13, 2008.
