Anyone who has used the common platforms for selling Seforim is aware of a number of problems that exist.  yidbid was created specifically to solve those issues.

• Robust Searching and Browsing - The site support searches in Hebrew (including acronyms with a quotation like רש"י) and in English, searching by category and by the condition of the item.  If you are interested in a particular category of sefer (for example Achronim on Shas) you can see just those items.
• Notifications - There is no need to check a site/group all the time to see if an item you are looking for was listed.  You can save any search you have created on the time and you can get an email when items matching your criterion are listed on the site.
• Google Indexed - Listings from the site are indexed daily by Google and other search engines and if someone is searching there for a book you listed on yidbid, they will find it.
• Centralized and Open - There is no need to know of a particular group or receive a special invitation to join.  You also don't need to be part of a number of different groups - yidbid is centralized and open to all.
• Accessible - Items listed on the site are accessible and don't get burried when other people post their own listings.
• Proximity Search - You can define locations where you have someone who can pick up items and then search within a radius of those locations.
