Help With Selling

Hi
I have been listing on Ebid for 12 months but have not sold any items. What am I doing wrong? Any help/tips would be great.

On a quick look I can't see that your items are being uploaded to Google Shopping. Sorting that out should be a first step. Then consider the suggestions at: http://mootango.webspace.virginmedia...idkb.htm#a0016

Thanks for the advice, will look into this.

I tried this but did not work, my google defaults are st to opt-in, added buy-it-now and a brand name but nothing showing on Google shopping, am I missing something?

Cheers

Re: Google shopping, sometimes it takes a while for items to be uploaded to GS. If you've added a BIN and all relevant info. and you still don't see your items after a bit of time, (say 24 hours or so - not sure how long they take to upload, but this gives them a bit of time), you can contact support: support@ebid.net about this.

Posted this to another thread, but it might be helpful here as well.

Some suggestions, if you haven't already tried them:

1) Add a signature link to your posts, so members can click to view your listings.
2) List as many items as you can; it's free to list and relist and the more items you list, the more potential sales.
3) Use 7-10 day listings with auto repost to ensure your items move up searches.
4) Let former customers from other sites know you're selling here.
5) Use social networking (Twitter, Facebook, personal blog) to promote your listings.
6) Use Plug Your Auctions on the forum (1x per 24 hours - delete old plug before adding new one) to promote your listings.
7) Offer international shipping whenever possible to widen your potential customer base.
8) If seller+ use your 5 free stores to organize your listings to make it easier for buyers to find your items.
9) Use MaO or offer combined/free shipping or other incentives, if it’s your thing, to encourage buyers to purchase from you.
10) Tell everyone you know and meet about eBid.
11) Buy a few inexpensive items to increase your feedback and support the site.
12) Get involved in eBid activities, as the monthly YDC charity auctions, if you're so inclined; it's a great way to raise monies for good causes and it helps raise your profile in the eBid community.
13) Check out the Help videos and read Astral's FAQs page, lots of good info. in both places.
