How to sell on eBid.
There have been a few posts recently by people who are struggling to sell on eBid, so I thought I would put things in one place for anybody in that situation. There are a few things that will greatly increase your chances of selling here.
1) They are your listings, so it is up to you to do everything possible to make them saleable.
2) Listen to advice from those who do sell on eBid, there is a reason why they sell.
3) Read the appropriate forum posts, astral's help pages and anything else you can on the subject.
4) keywords, keywords, keywords and then make sure you use keywords.
5) Google is your friend, make sure you use it and feature high up the pages, if not find out why.
6) Fees are lower on eBid, so prices should be. People might not pay the same or more on eBid until it is more established.
7) RUS, if you use it, do you need to. And if you are listing using RUS and not selling, try changing it.
8) Fill in your about me page, include shipping, returns, as much as you can.
9) Plug Your Auctions, it can help.
10) Before you post saying you cannot sell, try all of the above and then anything else you can.
11) Don't forget the keywords.
Will this work? It does for me and a good few others. How do I know it works? I just look at my Sold tab which currently shows 167 sales, for December 33 sales worth £616.19, for today 2 sales before 10am.
It is possible to sell on eBid, and if all sellers put in the effort it would have a massive knock on effect on the site and everyones sales. And if the negative posters put in half the effort on their listings that they do moaning about lack of sales they might start selling. Rant over (for now), back to listing, selling and packing all those sales from over the weekend.
