Well I'm happy to say, I have discovered a secret that
ebay may not want you to know........
And that is what this Section is all about.
I know how I can list for free and pay no fees for either my listing
or even any final valuation fees for my sales, and I'm about to share it with you.
What's more, as I said on my sales page _ it is 100% within eBay rules and anyone
can do it.
The Secret
The secret to listing free and paying NO FEES is this...
Check ebay around the world!
You see ebay has really taken off in most of the world and has
gained the major foothold and vice like grip it has in countries like
the USA, the UK and even the rest of Europe. However it is still a fledgling
business in some parts of the world, and as such is still offering incentives for
anyone listing on those countries sites! After months of searching and trailing
nearly every country's sites, I discovered TWO countries that still have FREE
listings available. I checked all the 'Terms of Service' and have found that it is
100% Legal and above board for me to list on those sites.... and hence - I have the
secret to Free Listings. Now that I've shared that secret with you, I'd like to tell
you which countries they are. AND I'll also cover some strategies that
I use to add maximum exposure and benefit to all my eBay listings.
The two sites I use to list on eBay Philippines and eBay Malaysia, which are
totally free – Yes NO listing fees, and NO sales commission. Bonus Note - You
should also test listings on other sites.
Note: On these two sites your title length is limited to 45 characters so slightly
shorter than most eBay sites. You can however include 3 pictures free of charge.
At the time of writing every listing I have made on eBay Malaysia and eBay
Philippines has ended with a sale.
Currencies
The currency used by each site is the currency of the Country that the site
represents, not your own currency. It does not matter which Country you
registered in. The Malaysian site uses Malaysian ringgits (MYR) At the time of
writing 1 Malaysian ringgit (MYR)= 0.28 U.S. Dollars. The Philippines site uses
Philippines Pesos (PHP) Currently 1 Philippine Peso (PHP)= 0.02 U.S. Dollars.
Since both of these currencies are low compared to the US$, British Pound or
Euro, starting an auction at .01 MYR or especially .01 PHP, will give you a very low
starting price, which is more attractive to bidders. Paypal only accepts certain
currencies so people may want to pay you in US Dollars at the current exchange
rate.
Turbo lister will not work with these sites.
I list manually the first time, and then either use the re-list option
for subsequent listings, or automate listings by scheduling with
Selling Manager Pro.
The way I recommend making use of the free listings is to have auctions running
and link them to the free listings which are 'Buy Now'. This way people have the
option to buy instantly rather than wait for the auction to end. You may also want
to make the 'Buy Now' cheaper than the Auction as an added incentive. I have
used this method to double up my sales per listing, effectively halving my listing
costs. You also pick up extra sales for the Country represented by the ebay site ie
you reach a bigger market. I am always on the lookout for automation tools to
help with my business.
