THE WHYS AND WHEREFORES OF SELLING ITEMS ON EBAY
Massive Market, Great Exposure
With over 170 million active users (2017 figure), eBay offers an excellent platform to sell your products. There’s a greater chance to get found on eBay than with a personal website.
Auction Your Products
Ebay, which originally started as an online auction website, gives you the option to get a higher price for your offerings. Choosing the “reserve price” option ensures you never have to sell your product for less than what it is worth.
Sell a Lot More Than Just Products
Sellers on eBay aren’t just limited to selling products, unlike other marketplaces. You could well be a foreign language teacher or even a tattoo artist for that matter and make a living through eBay. Simply create an auction for your service, adding details about your offerings, qualification, etc.
Brand Your Store
This is something that you can’t do on Amazon. eBay gives you the flexibility to customize your storefront. This means, as a seller, you can create a unique brand identity which is different from the marketplace’s own identity.
Relatively Lower Fees
Unlike Amazon that takes a cut of 15% and levies other charges per sale, eBay takes only 10%. This could translate into better profit per sales for a seller.
Sell Internationally
Selling your products outside of your country is one of the smartest ways to expand your customer base. eBay makes shipping less complex, making it easier for you to cater to a global audience.
