eBay personal store opening process and precautions

A reader asked me, what is the process of opening a store on eBay? What should I pay attention to? Next, I will explain the process of opening a store on eBay and some matters that need attention. If you are interested, let's take a look.

The process of opening a personal store on eBay

1. Once you have opened a sales account on eBay, you only need to register once on any eBay site, and you can use the same account and password to log in to any eBay site to sell items.

2. Go to the paypal site and open an account on PayPal.

3. Verify PayPal:

The first step is to add your international credit card to your PayPal account (currently in China, if your credit card has a VISA or MASTER logo, it is an international credit card.);

Step 2. Click Chinese - Unverified. PayPal will ask you to participate in the "Expanded Use Program". Click to confirm.

In the third step, PayPal will charge your credit card a fee of $1.95 and randomly generate a 4-digit "Extended Use Number", which will appear on your next credit card statement;

Step 4: Check your next credit card statement or check your credit card statement online (no later than 4 working days after the statement date) and find the 4-digit number next to the PayPal charge record;

Step 5. Log in to your PayPal account, click the "Complete Expanded Use Enrollment" link in the "Account Overview" page, and enter the four-digit number in the Expanded Use Number field. This completes your certification.

4. Once you have the goods to sell, you can sell them on eBay

The specific steps for opening an eBay personal store are as follows:

<1> Take photos of the products

This step is very critical. It is not too important to say that it is important. Because photos are the only and most intuitive way to display products. It is a key link to attract consumers. To a large extent, it determines the sales of the product. And it has been proven that basically all successful salespeople on eBay have spent a lot of time on photos. Photos can show the characteristics of their products. It is recommended that the photos posted on eBay are real photos of the real objects, that is, real photos. If commercial photos are used directly, the effect may be better, but when customers receive the products and find that they do not match the photos, they will complain to eBay that "the photos do not match the real objects." The reputation you have worked hard and carefully built up is destroyed. Think about it from another angle. As a buyer, you will never patronize such a store again. Therefore, for long-term interests, your pictures can be rough but they must be real.

<2> Write a description for the product

A good product description should be able to attract the other party and fully express the selling point. It also plays a vital role in the sales of the product. However, the description must be objective, otherwise it will also bring serious consequences. For example, from NEGTIVE FEEDBACK to Refund, etc. It is better not to sell the product than to make it false.

<3> Develop a corresponding sales strategy for the product

No matter what product you sell, you need a sales strategy. Many people ignore this step and think that selling on eBay is simple. All you need to do is upload the information, set a starting price, and then sit at home and wait for orders. In fact, successful people on eBay attach great importance to sales strategies. The right sales strategy can help you significantly increase sales. There are dozens of sales strategies for eBay. Of course, you need to spend time trying to find out which strategy is suitable for your product. Different things, at different times, using different sales strategies will produce very different results. But which strategy is suitable for which product can only be explored through practice. eBay sales assistants from different regions will help you.

<4>Upload product information to eBay

After completing the first three steps, this step is easy. You can complete the operation according to eBay's prompts. Here, you need to formulate a policy, including, for example, delivery time, refund, etc.

<5>Answer questions raised by customers

When buyers are interested in a certain product, they can search for many similar products on eBay. They usually select a few satisfactory ones and then compare them. At this time, the seller's response speed to the buyer's questions is a key issue. Many successful sellers usually respond to buyers' questions within half an hour.

<6> After the customer purchases the product, send the customer an INVOICE

In this step, just pay attention to handling the corresponding postage and handling fees when the same customer purchases multiple items.

<7> After the customer pays, ship the goods to the customer

Most customers will pay you through PayPal. After receiving the payment, PayPal will notify you by email and tell you the customer's address, and then you can complete the shipment. Fast shipment is an important indicator for customers to measure seller services. The most basic principle is: delivery upon receipt of payment. If you don't receive the money, you can't ship.

<8> Leave a Feedback for the Customer

You are obliged to leave corresponding Feedback for your customers. This way, customers will feel more comfortable and will naturally give you Feedback. In this way, your account will have more and more Feedback and your reputation will get better and better.

<9> After-sales service

Good after-sales service is likely to generate repeat customers and increase sales.
