f you are selling on eBay
you will quickly realize that the fees can add up significantly over
the month and take a big bite out of you business' profit. While there
is no way to avoid paying fees there are some things that you can do to save money on your eBay fees.
Host your pictures on a free picture hosting site and put them into your auction description. eBay allows one picture included with your standard list fee and charges you
extra for each additional picture you put on an auction.
Run Dutch Auctions when you have multiple items that are the same.
The Final Valuation Fee for a Dutch Auction is determined based on the
lowest winning bid and then multiplied by the number of winners even
though the other bidders will pay you a higher price for their item.
Read the list fee chart provided at the eBay site and consider a
lower starting price for your item. For example listing an item with a
$9.99 starting bid will save money over starting that same item for
$10.00.
Evaluate closed auctions success rates to determine if optional
features, such as gallery, are necessary. There are some items that
will sell for considerably more money if you pay to put the picture
into gallery, but with other items the sell price is the same
regardless of gallery placement. Reviewing closed auctions will help
you to determine if it is worth the extra fee.
Put your listings on yourself. EBay charges extra if you schedule
your auctions and have them put them up for you. Starting auctions at a
particular time of day is sometimes crucial for their success. If you
are home and at your computer when at item is scheduled to start, revise your scheduled auction,
switch it over to start when submitted and submit it yourself to save
on the extra fee.
