What? You Don't Have An Ebay Store?
In fact, you might not even have heard of eBay stores. Read on
to find out what you've been missing.
eBay stores come at three levels: Basic for $15.95 per month,
Featured for $49.95 per month or Anchor for $499.95 per month
(yes, that is typed correctly: almost $500). The best place to
start out is with Basic (you can even get a month's free trial),
but if you like what you find then you should upgrade to
Featured quickly, simply because it has so many extra features.
Note that you must have a feedback rating of at least 20 before
you can get an eBay store.
But what is an eBay store? Basically, it lets you list a set of
fixed price auctions together on one page for much longer than
auctions usually last - and most sellers with eBay stores list
the items at a slightly lower price. It's like a list of your
special offers. You can put your logo on the store and write a
little about your business and policies, and your customers can
search your store for anything they might want. Buyers can click
through to your store using the door symbol next to your name.
A good way to look at it is that it's a little like having your
own e-commerce site outside eBay where you can list your items
more long term - except it's all done for you without you having
to learn a new system. Items in eBay stores can be listed for
30, 60, 90 or 120 days, or you can list items permanently,
paying monthly for each one.
So you Want an eBay Store Now?
You
can visit eBay stores at http://stores.ebay.com. Go there
now and click the 'Open a Store' button on the right of the
screen to start signing up for the free trial. Then there are a
few steps to go before your store can open for business.
Step 1: Pick a theme. You can have whatever design you want on
your store, but to begin with pick something from eBay's options
that you think would be appropriate.
Step 2: Add your store's name, description and logo. You can
pick one of eBay's pictures for the logo or upload a logo of
your own if you have one. Don't worry, you can always change
this later.
Step 3: Choose your subscription level, and then click 'Start My
Subscription Now'. Your store is ready! Remember that you can
customise it more at any time.
Listing items in your store is just like listing items on normal
eBay using 'Buy it Now', except that the durations you can
choose from for the store are much longer.
By now, you've probably spent enough time in eBay that you're
starting to get used to it - but then again, you also might have
been a victim of fraud by now, or at least seen fraud happening
to others. The next email will tell you how to fight eBay fraud.
