Other sellers share their successful tactics for driving more business to their eBay Shops.

Promote your Shop in your Auctions
  • Create a balanced inventory of auction and Shop items on eBay - The most successful Shop sellers are using auction items to help drive traffic to their Shop
  • Mention your eBay Shop in your auction listing descriptions (e.g., "We have more great inventory & accessories you can BUY NOW from our eBay Shop")
  • Suggest that buyers visit your Shop for accessories, add-ons, or more colours and sizes of your items
  • Use the Merchandising Manager to cross-sell your items at the item level, and promote these items in key buyer locations
  • Offer promotions such as free or discounted shipping on additional items they purchase from your Shop in the same day
