Ebay is a quick and effective way to begin selling physical products. A basic eBay shop costs $24.95 per month, Premium $74.95 per month, Anchor $349.95 per month also you can choose yearly plan, and it can be set up in minutes. But spending a little time configuring it and getting your listing fee whether or not your product sells, so you need all your listing to result in sales.
Here we'll walk through the process of opening up a shop with eBay. Before opening an eBay Basic Store, make sure you meet the following requirements, you must have an existing eBay membership with a minimum feedback store of 10. In other words, you must have received ten feedback rating from purchases you've made on eBay.
If you're new, eBay put limits on how much you can sell on eBay to help monitor selling practices. eBay Store subscribers with limits on their Store. Learn More about limits on eBay sellers. and how to increase your limits. Next you need a verified PayPal account.
To open a Premium or Anchor eBay Store, Your seller performance level can't be below standard.
Product
Don't start building your shop until you have your product ready. Online buyers expect next-day despatch at the latest, so if you haven't got an initial stock you're risking embarrassment and, worse, negative feedback.
feedback - the rating you're given by those who buy from you - is an incredibly important element of eBay trading.
Start With The Basic
You'll almost want to begin with a basic shop. "Featured" shops have lower fees to compensate for their higher monthly fee, but you need to sell a lot of products to make it worthwhile. You also need to enter your shop name. In most cases you should be using a name that includes your search keywords, and if you intend to set up your own website, the shop name should be very similar to your domain name. In our case we've gone for making your OwnCandles, which is exactly the same as our planned domain.
The next screen may offer you some free subscriptions to eBay products(in my case Selling Manager and Sales Report plus).
Tune-Up Time
You'll then be asked if you want to perform a "Quick shop Tune-up" of your nascent emporium. I suggest you take a look and decide for yourself which of the options makes sense to you personally, I prefer to specify the settings for my shop from the ground up. To do this, go to My eBay and select Selling. Under Shortcuts, click Manage my shop. This should bring up the "Manage my Shop" summary screen.
First Impressions
Click display settings to edit the appearance of your shop. The aim is to have your eBay shop and your future website share a similar design, even if that only really amounts to the colour scheme.
Same Difference
Click "change to another theme" to browse through the available shop structures. Although there's a
reasonable range of themes, they all tend to be much of a muchness. This is a weakness of selling on eBay, but at least everyone's in the same boat! personally, I prefer the "classic" themes, which you can access by clicking the Easily Customisable link. I think they result in cleaner, more appealing designs which you can more easily mould to your liking. Click save when you're done.
Choose "Edit current theme" to modify the colour scheme, some fonts, and that's about it. Choose colour from your palette and pick plain fonts (verdana is a good choice from the limited options). Click Save Settings and then go through the other links under Shop Design to customise your shop. The most important one to sort out at this point is product Categories. When You've finished tweaking, click the shop summary link to go back to the "Manage my Shop" screan.
Open For Business
Finally, click the View My Shop link to see your shop in all its glory.
