South London Entrepreneur set to raise seed capital through EBay

(PRLEAP.COM) Interest is running high, with more than 500 people viewing the advert in its first 4 days online and over £2,400 in funding pledged so far.

Saif Bonar, the entrepreneur who came up with the unique fundraising method, is hoping for more bids to come in over the weekend before the auction closes on Sunday at 11pm.

Commenting on the auction Saif said “Bids were slow in coming until today and stress levels have been high as a result. But with more than 20 people actively watching the auction and some big bids today, I am hoping for a positive outcome.”

Interest in the auction and the venture is reaching fever pitch with enquiries coming in from a broad range of people across the world. The low cost of involvement has seen interest from a diverse group of people, ranging from those on a budget who want to invest under £100 and hope for a big return, through to more serious investors who are bidding on up to 16 shares.
