IMPORTANT TIPS ON HOW TO USE CLASSIFIED ADS ON EBAY

Due to recent business policy changes, new feedback rules, and an increase in auction fees across the board. More online sellers saying it is becoming harder to make money on eBay.

Can you still make money with eBay? Yes, it is! And I'm going to talk about one of the most underused features on eBay - the classified ad.

While the classified ad format has been around for a while on eBay, it has only recently begun to attract attention due to the number of people starting to use it to its full potential and making money from it.
eBay admits that classified ads are great for lead generation, so you might have to take advantage of them.

For the small fee of $9.95 for an ad that runs for 30 days on one of the most visited sites online. While at first look that might seem a high price, it roughly works out to less than 0.35 cents per day.

While eBay currently is the fourth most visited site on the internet while billions of buyers and online sellers visiting every month.

Even if you could only get a handful of that site traffic you could potentially make a lot of money.

Taking that sort of website traffic means that you're going to have to grab the attention of the most potential buyer, and what better way to do that is by using a sales page as your advertisement.

A great title is the first thing you will need to encourage people to click on your ad, backed up by a strong description to entice people to take action.

Maybe that action is to buy your product, contact you for more information, or promote your business website. The freedom of what you can do with a classified advertisement on eBay means that it is all possible and less hustle.

Advertisements on eBay are very similar to regular auction listings with a few differences.

  • First is you are not selling a physical item as you would in a regular auction. You do not have a bid now or buy now button on your listing.

  • Secondly, you cannot give or receive positive or negative testimonials (which some might say is a good thing now!)

  • Third, because the transaction process happens outside of eBay platform, there is no final value listing fee for it.

There is still some confusion about what you can and cannot include in your ad, but if you're hesitating on eBay their company has its a full policy on its website.
