How To Make More Money & Sell More Products In eBay Store:

Instead of just normal auction or fix price, there’s another option to sell on eBay; through an eBay store.

Having an eBay store is just like having your own retail shop online, is easy to set up and cost effective. You don’t need large sum of capital to do renovation, hiring staff, training staff or rent an expensive office.

Basically you don’t need any capital to start your own eBay store and it just took a small monthly subscription fee to maintain.

Park unsold items. You can use your eBay store to park some of your unsold items in normal eBay auction. You can leave those unsold products inside your eBay store until they are sold or you can wait until the right timing to relist them back to normal auction.

While it is parking inside your store, is still on sale.

Sell fixed price items. If you have lots of fixed price inventories to sell, having a store is a great option. Before you offer your products for auction, you can list them inside the store. Listing fee for store is more cost effective compare to normal auction. You can have a higher profit margin selling in your store.

Cross selling other products. After your buyers just bought something from you, is easier to cross sell other related items to them. According to my own statistic, 20 to 25% of my customers will buy again when I do cross selling on eBay.

eBay store has a built in feature for cross selling. You can choose which product to cross sell when your customers just bought something. If you don’t cross sell, you will loss at least 20% of sales.

Example: If you are selling cellphone in your normal auction; cross sell batteries or other accessories in your store, if you are selling laptop; cross sell some mouse or keyboards. I am sure you know what I mean.

Sell to losing bidders. If you list your product as normal auction, you will have at least one losing bidder. You know they are interested in your products, so direct them to your eBay store to get their products.

This is a win-win situation. They get what they want and you make some extra sales.

Move items from store to auction. There will be times that some of your merchandise is not selling in your store and has been sitting there for ages. In order to clear off these old inventories, send them to normal auction.

I have just shared with you some simple and practical ideas on how to sell more products by using eBay store. Apply it immediately, don’t delay your own success.
