The top 5 reasons to open an eBay Store
Reason #5: More flexibility = more opportunities to sell in the format
your buyers like best
Just because you have an eBay Store, it doesn't mean you have to stop
putting your items up for auction! An eBay store allows you to put your
products in front of people in a variety of different ways.
My recommendation is to list 80 as auctions in order to drive more
visitors to your store.
Reason #4: More automation = more free time for you!
With an eBay store, it's far easier for you to automate daily chores such
as relisting unsold items, asking for feedback, and keeping track of
your inventory. The more you can automate your business, the more
time you can spend growing it -- and multiplying your profits!
Reason #3: More communication with buyers = more chances to sell to
them in the future
When you have your own Store, eBay makes it easy for you to stay in
touch with your bidders and customers, by allowing you to create your
own store newsletter that eBay will send out on your behalf.
All you have to do is add a link at the top right corner of your store page
that says, "Sign up for store newsletter" -- and then eBay will
automatically send people notices about your latest specials and
products for sale.
It's a great way to put your products right in front of your best potential
customers... and encourage them to buy!
Reason #2: More exposure = more traffic
Unlike your regular auction listings, your eBay Store homepage -- as
well as your store category pages and any custom pages you create --
doesn't disappear once your seven-day auction is over. It has a
constant presence on the Web.
And that means those pages can get indexed by the search engines!
So not only will a store help you get tons more exposure on eBay itself,
you'll also be able to put your products in front of a huge number of
off-eBay shoppers, as well.
Reason #1: Lower eBay fees = more profits!
As I said at the beginning of this article, when you own an eBay Store,
your listing fees are way less expensive.
Just how much will you save? Well, if you run a regular auction for an
item that costs $24.99, it'll cost you 60 cents to insert your listing. But if
you have a store, that same item will cost only 5 cents to list! That will
add up to huge savings once you start listing a large number of items.
The final value fees are also considerably lower. For example, you have
to pay 10 of the total value.
And money saved = more profits for you!
A basic monthly eBay Store subscription costs just $15.95 -- so if you're
selling 20 or more products a month, you'll definitely find it worth your
while.
