Choosing The Right Selling Format

Everyone that has registered freshly with eBay will have invariably encountered a question. Those who made successful online eBay businesses later or those who already were successes offline; what selling format and template will be right for their business? Beat the dilemma with dedicated research over the matter. A good selling format is not long enough to attract insertion fee or short enough to skip prospective buyers who are waiting in the side wings and watching the bidding till last.

Choosing the Right Selling Format

Supposing that you are opening an eBay store and call it eBay department store, you will have really built a virtual large store having to stock or list lots items which rarely have selling propositions perhaps because of their high values. But because you need it to be visible on eBay, you will list. Your basic concerns are overall revenues, although itemwise revenue would be a welcome.

Shop Inventory

In such cases, you can’t afford to choose a listing package which is short while insertion fee is high. This will most likely erode your profit prospects. There is a selling format tailor made for you and is known as ‘Shop Inventory.’ This package comes with bonuses like ‘Best Offer,’ offer no fixed number of items with ‘Buy Now’ etc. Other features include no bidding, limited visibility compared to auction items, must have an eBay Shop etc. This is a 30day renewable account which automatically renews. This is the down side you must mind always with this selling format.

If yours is real estate business, ‘advertise your services & real estate’ may be the right format you are looking for; list without having to pay the ‘final value fee.’ The length of listing is 90 days looking at the high value nature of the item.

You can choose from other formats like ‘Online Auction’ and ‘Fixed Price’ formats, making decision on the suitability.

Finally a little bit of designing helps bring about liveliness to your listings’ pages. Choose from countless free and premium templates available, for good effects.

Trick lies in getting the true blend of selling format which is a commercial decision while choosing a template enhances the appeal of your pages.
