We are pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the production version of Grand Slam Bids, Inc! www.GrandSlamBids.com is a self service auction site for hobbyists. We are very excited to bring this viable alternative to fruition.

Some of the things that make Grand Slam Bids a better option are:
  1. Much more reasonable fee schedule.
  2. On line payments are optional, not mandatory.
  3. Both sellers and buyers can leave feedback.
  4. All bidder IDs will be known in each auction after it closes.
  5. Far less fraud. We will be closely monitoring listings and will not tolerate fraud.
  6. Fakes/reprints and cutouts will not be in the regular card sections.
  7. Hobbyists that understand the business will run the site.
  8. Focus on only sports collectibles, cards and other non-sports cards.
Over the last three months of beta testing we have fine tuned the site and added features to it, including:
  • A robust searching and filtering system so you can find what you want, and only what you want.
  • Integration with VintageCardPrices.com so newly listed items and results show in their system.
  • A bulk auto lister so that many listings can be imported from other sources quickly.
In conjunction with the Grand Opening, we are running promotional pricing; it is almost free to list items and if you have over 100 items to list, contact us for the listings to be made completely free (except for low final value fees). Please continue to contact us with any ideas or feedback that you have to improve Grand Slam Bids.

    But there is! You can download TurboLister from eBay and export your eBay listings to a format that can be uploaded to GrandSlamBids.
    email us and we'll walk you through it. For 450 listings, we'll give you a store free for a few months.

    Is the final value fee the same for items sold in stores as for auctions? I only see it listed for auctions on the fee page.

    I appreciate the sentiment - it's really up to all of us to do that. The more folks that are fed up and are willing to list their stuff with us, the greater the chance of success.

    I definetly like what I seen so far.I am in pending approval.I do not sell often because because of the outrageous fees.That may change.However I did see 2 cards that are regional that I have to get.Never seen on ebay although they may have occasionaly appeared at one time or another.

    When you sign up, you are sent an email to the account you specify with a link that needs to be clicked to verify your email address. The reason we do that is to ensure our users can get emails sent from the site - otherwise you might get an offer on an item you are selling and not know about it, or win an item and not get the notification.
    If your account wasn't approved it is probably because you didn't click the link in the email that was sent. You can go to the site and have the email re-sent. Check your SPAM filter once it is sent and make sure to add the email to a list of approved senders so it doesn't go into spam in the future.

    If you have any further issues, please email us at admin@grandslambids.com

    Update: the email with the link was sent to you on 10/15 at 5:07 PM EST - I just re-sent it, so once you click the link you should be good to go.

    Thanks! It must have been intercepted as spam. Got it now.
