Are you into Auto Dealers Market?

Ebay opens a huge opportunity for car dealers to expand their market and sell their vehicles online. It gives you free insertions for first 6 vehicle listings in a year.

How to upload your products?

The first option is the regular one that you find everywhere when listing your products online. Ebay has an online Catalog you can use that includes huge varieties of products. You can find your product on the Catalog by typing the UPC#, MFR# or simply some of your product’s features.

The second option is entering all features and specifications of your products yourself. The system will still give you a hand while entering your data. You will find the system giving you options of features and specifications from the product title you entered. Isn’t that cool?!!

Ebay opens multiple doors for you to sell your products faster

Buy It Now:

You put the best competitive price for your products you want to sell at. Customers will see a “Buy It Now” button which reflects how competitive your price is.

Allow Offers:

While you have the main price you have your product listed at, you can also allow offers to be send by interested customers. You get to enter the minimum price you are willing to consider for the product. You then select the best offer you received from your customers. This option stays live until your product is sold or cancelled.

Send Offer to Buyers:

You get a cool feature on Ebay platform that you rarely find on other platforms. This feature is “Watchers”. Watchers are those customers who are interesting in your product but did not press the buying button to purchase the item yet. In most cases, watchers are waiting for a better price than the one you specified when uploading the product.

Ebay gives you an option to send an offer to these buyers with a better price than the listed one. In most cases watchers get to buy your product when you approach them with a better deal.

7-Day Auction:

After you upload your product’s specifications, you will reach at the bottom of the page “Pricing” category. You will find on the pricing part a 7-Day Auction recommended option by Ebay. Ebay gives you information on average price successful auctions started at for the same type of product you’re selling. 

If your item was not sold within these 7 days, you’re product gets relisted up to 2 times for free.

Available Markets on Ebay

After you are done listing your product’s type, features and price, you will find at the bottom options of where you want to advertise and ship your time. The system gives you a wide variety. You can choose to ship only to Canada. Option to include USA is there as well. You also have the option to go wild and ship your products internationally to any place in the entire World.

There is a good feature that distinct Ebay from most other online platforms which is local delivery. Basically in this category, you simply need to type in your Postal Code. That allows buyers in your neighborhood to choose hand delivery and save on shipping fees.  

Feedback

You made your sale and shipped your product to your customer, now it’s time for feedback. On Ebay, you get to give a feedback on your customer. One sentence on how serious the customer is and how fast the payment was would build a good rapport between you and your customer. After you provide your feedback about your customer, Ebay automatically sends a reminder to your customer to provide a feedback about your service as well.
