Put your store link into your signature, it will then show every time you post, in addition you can only put your link on a post for 'Plug Your Auctions.

Hi Everyone

I am fairly new to Ebid and use to sell on that other site for several years. The fees were out of control and here I'm running 67 auctions and have only sold one thing. Is there something I am missing because I would like to be selling more? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yvonne

First, take your eBay links out, they are not allowed and you might get all of your listings removed.

I cannot see your listings without going to the US site, I presume you do not offer international. I ship worldwide and not only can this generate sales it can also give you more Google exposure.

If you still sell on eBay then are your prices the same? If so then you should consider dropping eBid prices. I would sell at least 5% cheaper on eBid as the fees are about 8% less and there are no relisting fees, store fees etc. This leaves you better off and gives customers a reason for using eBid. Also let your eBay customers know about your eBid store, put a flyer in with purchases or eMail them.

You have 81 characters available on your titles, use them to help get Google hits, so your "Tupperware Chip ’N Dip Set Retail $49.00" you could add the size as it is large, that might make somebody seeing it on Google take a look, as if there are a few your might initially seem expensive.

One other thing is the Run Until Sold (RUS) listings. These stay at the bottom of the eBid pages, if nobody sees them they will not sell.

Well, I admit I am still selling a few things each month on that other site.

So, plenty more listings coming from me....

I would be doing better if I didnt have to fight with the kids for computer time, in between bringing them to soccer and working 4 days a week. Slow going but still trying to steadily increase my listings every week. Made a sale this week too
