Can anybody share marketing ideas how I drive traffic to my eBay listings? How do you use craigslist or any other classified ads site to drive track to your ebay listings? How do you obtain buyers directly from craigslist or eBay Classifieds to buy retail or wholesale products locally or across the U.S.?
You could use really cheap PPV/PPC traffic for less than .01 a click. The rest will depend on your profit margins.
Here's one thing i did. Try to list 10 new items every day, in different categories. That pulls in shoppers from all over eBay. For example, if you have 8 pairs of women's black pants, don't list them all on the same day. List different kinds of items to get lots of traffic from customers looking for different things. You don't want to compete with yourself by listing 10 of the same item. You've got enough competition on eBay to start with.
Thanks. Listing items on eBay won't be a problem for me; it's finding 10 different items which are relevant to what buyers want and are searching for on eBay will be the real challenge. I have some inventory. I'm aware there's stiff competition on eBay some categories aren't worth posting a listing in because of the over saturation in the number of listings in certain categories. I'd be just wasting money on such items trying to turn around & resell them to someone else.
Well my concept is fairly simple and maybe too simple. I just find the lowest priced item that works well such as a wii. I bought a working wii with controller, and all cables for $50. Amazon sells their cheapest one for $70. Just buy low on ebay and sell high on amazon. it is pretty simple
Then how do you get around Amazon demanding your suppliers list once you're making regular sells? I'm aware some of the major retailers have items much cheaper than Amazon. I don't want to sell used items from eBay on Amazon. I have a difficult time finding new items being sold BIN cheaply on eBay.com
I would say it mostly depends on your asking prices. If you can beat the competition on the price, you probably will get yourself good number of visitors.
