Some Questions About EAuctionAlerts.com
It’s great that eAuctionAlerts can remind you when to bid, but does that really do you any good? For example, if you’re in your car two hours from home and you receive a text saying that the item you’ve bid on will be closed for bidding in half an hour, you’re out of luck. It would be much better if eAuctionAlerts could somehow expand its services to allow you to securely place a bid by phone.
