Want to sell more online? You can create a website and start selling. However, it will take months to see traffic coming to your website and you will be able to sell only if you manage to convert your audience to your customer. See, having a website for your business is a good idea. You cannot grow into an online brand without having a website. However, if you want to see deals coming right from the day you bring your store online, you need to find a big online marketplace that already reaches millions of active buyers all across the world. eBay is one such big platform with 175 million active users all across the world.
It is very easy to set up a store. You need to create an account with the platform, use eBay listing software, eBay inventory management and meet some requirements. It is important to understand eBay’s search engine. It is not as complicated as Google’s search engine.
Here are some tips to skyrocket your eBay sales.
List Every Day
eBay’s search engine displays results that are relevant to the customer’s query. You need to optimize product titles and descriptions accordingly. However, this is not enough. Put your eBay listing software to use and list new products every day.
Use Promoted Listings Campaign
You can quickly increase your eBay sales using eBay promoted listings. This will show your products to relevant buyers.
Use Keywords
What will you type to purchase a washing machine online? Your customers also use keywords to search for products. Do some research and use these keywords in your product titles and descriptions.
Ship Fast
Fast and free shipment is one of the best ways to increase eBay sales. However, don't forget to check the cost.
Remove Negative Reviews
Customers often see only pictures and prices of the product. They rely on customer reviews. Good products and good customer services earn 5-star reviews. If you get negative reviews, listen to your customer’s issues, address them right away, and encourage your customer to leave positive reviews and 5-star ratings.
Get Top Rated Seller Status
Consistently provide fast shipping and excellent customer services and you can earn eBay top-rated seller. This will help you sell more. Your aim should be earning this status.
Have Generous Return Policies
What if your customer was not aware of the sweater size? You must make it easy to return the product. When it is an expensive purchase, no one wants to waste money on a poor quality product. Offer a money-back guarantee on such products.
Share on Social Media
There is a Facebook group of people who love reading books. Join that group and share your listings there. Similarly, take advantage of Instagram, Pinterest, and other social media platforms.
Use Markdown Manager Tool
You can run sales easily using the markdown manager tool. Offer discounts and special offers to increase sales and positive ratings.
Use Bulk Edit
If you are selling thousands of products then you can use ‘bulk edit’ to edit multiple items. This refreshes the edited listings and boosts your listings.
Use Email Marketing
When customers show interest in your store, don't lose that interest. Use eBay’s email marketing features to keep them interested.
Set Right Price
Customers don't purchase from the very first store they visit. They also explore your competitor’s stores to compare prices and then make a purchase. Set the right price.
Maintain Seller Ratings
Before they start trusting your name, they trust other customers. They leave ratings and reviews about products and stores. Try to earn positive ratings and reviews.
Also, work on some basics, such as using high-quality product images. Provide excellent customer services and write clear and optimized descriptions.
