Smart FAQ Being Launched For eBay Sellers!

June 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I’m hoping this will save some of you a lot of time!  I realize customer contact is a big part of your day, and it’s a big part of eBay DSR.  Great communication is key!

Don’t forget you are able to have up to 5 pages in your eBay store.  Why not make one of them your own FAQ page?!

Save time answering questions
New Smart FAQ will draw on “live” information from your listings to answer the top 20 buyer questions–before buyers reach you through “Ask Seller a Question.” You can review and customize the questions. You can choose to use it only for pre- or post-transaction questions or both–or choose to have buyers continue to go right to “Ask Seller a Question.” Smart FAQ will be available the week of June 15.

First 5 Auction-style listings will have NO Insertion Fees

June 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Did you see the latest fee changes that are going to take effect on June 16th?

Starting June 16:
Every 30 days, your first 5 Auction-style listings will have NO Insertion Fees when you list with eBay’s Sell Your Item form or Simple listing form–regardless of your start price.

The first 5 listings with no Insertion Fees will have a Final Value Fee of 8.75% of the sales price or $20, whichever is lower. Additional items sold during the same 30-day period will have the same Insertion Fees and Final Value Fees as they do today.

If you are currently using an eBay tool or third-party listing solution, you can either list your first 5 Auction-style listings with the new pricing structure through eBay’s Sell Your Item form or Simple listing form or continue with your current practices at the current pricing-whichever option works best for you.

This change is part of our continued effort to lower the upfront costs of selling on eBay. The 5 listings with no Insertion Fees are especially helpful for sellers who may not sell in high volume, but offer unique and hard-to-find inventory buyers expect to find on eBay. Learn more.
