    Default Cheapest on the site and no sales ??

    Hi

    I cant understand it i have the same items with the same listing descriptions on here but at a lower price than on fleabay where the cartridges do sell, i get people on here looking but no buyers.

    this is the 5th time i have tried ebid with no sales.

    Can always advise your ebay customers that your items are for sale over here - give them a wee discount if they purchase on ebid instead of ebay as you wont be paying fvfs here

    the ones on ebay are a diff brand and a lot more expensive if i was to move them it would cost me about £4 per order loss of profit.

    Ok - you lost me on that one.

    Opening post.....

    your second post in this thread........

    Umm are they the same or not?


    I can only assume you are selling your cheaper inks on ebid, and the better ones on Ebay (although I notice you havent got any listed over there at the moment - at least not under not-nad user name).

    As you have been advised, It is cheaper to sell here than ebay so why not offer a discount,
    Each time you make a sale on ebay, why not email the buyer to tell them you also sell here at a cheaper rate. I do and i've had a few good sales already.

    i mean The same range and models of cartridges,

    A set of cartridges i have on here are £3.99 the same model of cartridge i sell on ebay for £8.99 dif make but for the same printer, i cant understand your coments on getting customer from ebay on to here, why would i want to get a customer to buy his cartridges of me on this site and make less money ???? it is incrimental business that i am looking for not to get all my customers to buy the same amount of cartridges and work for a lot less money.

    All I am saying is - list the same cartridges here that your customers are buying on Ebay. You would have no fvf's here, so could do them exactly the same items with a small discount.

    I have nothing else to add to this.

    Why would you be making less money? List the SAME items as you do on ebay but charge less for them to reflect the lower fees. Encourage your buyers from ebay to make their repeat purchases here. The customers save money, you make more profit (if you pitch your prices right)

    i am not looking to swap my customer from ebay on to here i am looking to get extra customers.

    why would i want to sell a £2.00 cartridge to a customer on here for £4.00 when i sell it to him at the moment on ebay for £6.00 ?? i know there are costs on ebay that are not on here but they arnt that much.
    i am looking for the customer that i dont sell to on ebay that will buy my cartridges on here.
