"Research, and Good eBay Store design will make your eBay Shop a Success."
eBay is an extremely competitive market, with business sellers competing against private sellers, international sellers selling on home eBay domains and listings offered from international eBay domains, by opening an eBay Store, you are placing yourself in competition with a good slice of the entire world. This is NOT to say that opening an eBay store is not worth it, but it must be done with open eyes and good preparation if your intention is to dominate your market.
Research your market well, comparing your products to other eBay store owners AND public sellers to ensure that you will always have a good amount of business. Price competitiveness is very important but even more so is ensuring you product information is complete. Buyers will often pay a pound or so more when they are assured that they are buying. After you have opened your store, make sure you stay up to date with eBay news, as eBay often test out new systems to help you marketing, like the current trialling of a shopping basket facility for buy it now and classifieds products.
Quality of design is very important on eBay as purchases are made very quickly and customers need to feel sure that your business is genuine and that you will keep to any promises made on your store pages. The best way to achieve this instant trust is to have your eBay shop designed and a store and listings page template created. There are several companies that can do this but one of the most creative and very experienced companies is eBay Store Design. This professional eBay Store Template company have an extensive portfolio of UK and international Store page designs, proving their ability, creative flair and their knowledge of global markets. As well as offering designs, eBay Store Design produce eBay listing tools to make your eBay selling easier and integrate it into a wider eCommerce empire.
When commissioning and approving any design work, consider the appeal of your store design. With the shopping methods employed by eBay buyers it is likely that your listings are just as likely to be viewed by a wider demographic as your target audience, so ensure that while the design is aimed at your target customers that it will not turn away opportunistic shoppers.
Consistent service is one of the most sought after qualities from an eBay store, so make sure that your service levels are repeatable, and not so high that you cannot apply the same level of effort to every sale. This is extremely important as one of your most valuable earnings on eBay will be your feedback score. While in retail, and even ecommerce you may expect to give more time and attention to buyers of high value items, on eBay a customer who has bought a single bolt can have just as much negative effect on your reputation as a customer who bought an entire car; so treat each with equal respect.
