Listing Strategies for eBay Shop Sellers
eBay Shops sellers can list in two formats: Auction-style and Buy It Now. All listing formats automatically appear in your Shop and can be created using the Sell Your Item form, Turbo Lister, Selling Manager Pro, or your favourite listing tool.
You can also add a Buy It Now price to Auction-style listings, and Best Offer to Buy It Now listings.
Use the following tips and guidelines to help determine the listing strategy that works best for your business.

List in All Formats to Attract More Buyers
Listing in all
formats is a best practice for Shops sellers. Many buyers enjoy the
thrill of Auction-style listings on eBay. Others love the instant
gratification of Buy It Now purchases. Your Shop
showcases all of your listings in all formats, so you can reach the
full spectrum of eBay buyers.

Consider Product Type and Merchandise Selection
Commodities - It is generally a good idea to use Buy It Now for commodity items. Be sure to review comparable items to determine current market pricing.
Unique and Hard-to-Find Items - Auction-style listings can help maximise the final sale prices for these highly sought-after items.
Popular and Sale Items - List items that you expect to generate the most traffic and excitement in Auction-style format.
Accessories and Add-ons - List these items in Buy It Now format, and be sure to cross-promote them from the primary item listing. Offer P&P discounts or promotions on these items to maximise add-on sales.
Multiple Styles, Sizes and Colours - If you carry a wide variety of sizes, colours and styles, using Buy It Now can be more cost-effective.
Infrequent Market Demand - If you have items that sell dependably but infrequently, Buy It Now may well be the most cost-effective listing format for these items.
Wide Selection of Related Items - Are you selling a wide selection of related items, such as car parts or specialised craft supplies? Buy It Now allows you to offer a wider range of inventory, which can help increase total sales and boost profits.
