Market is slow and eBay is not driving buyers to your listings.......

Time for your OWN website.

Highly recommended: If you have already made a few extra dollars reinvest them on purchasing your Domain and Hosting package. This is considering you already have Paypal as a Payment option (work on getting your own Merchant Account).

1. Use your User ID or eBay store name as your Domain Name (we will discuss Pro Stores later)
2. Get your website live and filled with product (at least match what you have already listed on eBay or any other auction site)
3. About Me page - Use your about me page on eBay to drive traffic to your website. This is allowed in their Terms of Use. Use eBay's website presence to your advantage.
4. Create a Clearance Category on your website.
5. Advertise your website for Free on:
For more sites, check http://www.whateverebay.com/
6. Start blogging and join Social Networking site and forums.
7. Send out email invitations and discount coupons to previous buyers. Selling on eBay allows you the opportunity to create a database. Those Non Paying Bidders email them too. Soon you will have presence on the web and sales (no eBay as overhead).

Keep in mind; you can Offer the Buyers an additional Discount to your already low prices. You can pass along the savings from listings and final value fees.

Now is the time to let your buyers know How Important they are to your business.

Make eBay and other auction sites work for you.
