Bidville is doing NOTHING to get buyers/bidders to their site. They used paypal to get up and running, but then when that fell apart, they didn't even bother trying to get customers for sellers.

JB, search engines receive their items in a variety of ways. Some are sunmitted items but most are found by their spiderbots or roaming robots. Whatever is out there is going to get found eventually by the bots or robots.
I believe Mr. Orlando lacks sufficent financial backing to mount any type of advertising effort. The legal problems with TY International and now PayPal may have futher strained his funds. ePier is currently attempting an advertising campaign as is Bargain & Haggle. Let's see how successful those endeavours are and then gage the value of advertising for lower tier auction venues.

Low blow RB, reminds me of myself in my BV Bash Era, before I reformed of course.
I worked with a guy that went to law school and was a practicing attorney-at-law and didn't like the cut-throat and underhanded world of lawyers and he gave it all up to become a machinist. Of course it didn't hurt to have wealthy parents and a wife that was a very big shot at an internet company. We all called him "The Millionaire". So some people do give up vast amounts of schooling to be rid of stressful jobs that they do not like or can not handle.
