Techniques for increasing eBay sales
You have been selling merchandise on
eBay for quite a while now but haven't managed to pull in the kind of sales you
were expecting? Here are some smart yet simple methods to enhance your sales.
Choose a decent name and logo for
your business and create a website where you give all the information a buyer
could need. Next, create your own eBay store as having your own eBay store has
many advantages, like you can have a longer listing duration as compared to a
buy- it-now or auction style listing and you can list every single item that
forms part of your inventory.
When you are selling on eBay, you are
competing not only with the other sellers on eBay, but also with those selling
on other websites and the conventional on-site sellers. Pricing is thus very
crucial. Try and determine a price that will make buyers feel happy and won't leave
you feeling like you were not doing business but charity. Offer as many payment
and delivery options as you can, such as PayPal which is a trusted and very
popular mode of payment and is sure to get you a bigger number of customers
than you have been getting so far.
Ans: d) Inadequate
information
