How to open a store on eBay? What are the steps to open a store on eBay?

Recently, many seller friends asked me how to open a store on eBay. Is it the same as opening a store on Taobao Tmall in China? In fact, all cross-border e-commerce platforms have similarities in opening stores, while eBay also has its own unique features. So how do we open a store on eBay? What are the steps to open a store on eBay?

Step 1: Register an eBay account, create an eBay account, and verify your identity

PayPal is the most widely used and popular "online bank" in the world. It supports settlement in multiple countries and currencies. eBay recommends using PayPal as a funding account for cross-border payment transactions.

1. Complete PayPal account verification via credit card

2. Ensure that your fund account is safe and legal. PayPal also needs to authenticate your account. It is recommended to use a credit card for authentication;

3. If you don't have a credit card, you can also use a bank debit card to authenticate your PayPal account. Bind your eBay account and PayPal account After completing the account registration, you also need to bind your eBay transaction account and PayPal fund account, so that buyers can pay you through PayPal after purchasing your products.

Step 3: eBay Integrity and Security Policy

Before you start selling items on eBay, you also need to understand eBay's integrity and safety policies, including eBay's credit rating system, eBay's item listing and sales policies, and eBay's requirements for seller performance and buyer satisfaction. Before starting eBay's cross-border business, please make sure you are aware of the relevant policies.

1. eBay Selling Policies and Requirements

　　eBay is committed to providing high-quality online trading experience for both buyers and sellers. To achieve this goal, eBay has established a user credit and access system. eBay requires sellers to comply with sales policies and listing rules and strive to provide buyers with the best pre-sales and after-sales services.

2. Introduction to eBay's Credit Rating System

　The eBay credit rating system mainly consists of three aspects: credit feedback, seller service rating (DSR) and transaction disputes. These indicators together represent your reputation on eBay and the user's satisfaction with you. The reputation of eBay sellers plays a vital role in business development.

Step 4: List your products

Successfully listing an item is the first step to start your foreign trade on eBay. Please be sure to describe the item truthfully and accurately, and properly control the buyer's expectations from the beginning. The more the buyer knows about the product, the less likely he or she will be disappointed with the transaction in the end, and the easier it will be for you to win the buyer's recognition. eBay has 40 sites worldwide, serving buyers in 215 countries overseas. Listing on any of these sites will allow global buyers to find your products. Currently, eBay US, UK, and Australia are sites with large transaction volumes and active members, and are also the preferred sites for most new sellers. After selecting your listing site, just click the Sell button in the upper right corner of the eBay site to start listing your products.

Step 5: Successful sales process

After successfully listing the product, the next step is to wait for customers to come. At the same time, you need to communicate with your potential buyers and provide them with all-round and professional services, so that the product can be sold successfully and the buyers can be satisfied and receive good reviews.

1. Respond to buyers’ questions promptly

Buyers who are interested in your products usually ask you questions through "Messages" before making a formal purchase. And what should you pay attention to when answering questions.

If your listing does not sell within the set time, you can choose to relist the item until it is sold. Relisting unsold items will receive a refund on the listing fee.

Collect payment, checkout, sell the item, and then arrange for shipment. Ship the item and provide the tracking number, how do you package the international package, how to change the logistics status on eBay after the item is shipped and add the tracking number of the item to eBay, and how to notify the buyer that the goods have been shipped.

Disputes between buyers and sellers are often unavoidable during transactions. When you encounter a dispute, you should actively respond and communicate to resolve it, and at the same time find out the cause of the dispute to avoid such disputes from happening again. This video tutorial introduces the types of eBay disputes from two aspects: "disputes initiated by buyers" and "disputes initiated by sellers" and how to resolve disputes according to the eBay dispute mediation process.

Now that you understand how to successfully list products and the transaction process, the next thing to consider is how to optimize your listing strategy, improve the ranking and sales of items, and ultimately gain a foothold in the eBay market.

2. Make sure your items are successfully included in the search results page

Writing effective and relevant titles is the guarantee for your items to enter the search results page smoothly. The more relevant the keywords in the title are to the buyer's search keywords, the more likely your items will appear in front of interested buyers, which also means higher sales.

Step 6: Prepare payment tools to settle foreign exchange back to China

    After placing an order, how to withdraw the money back to China quickly and safely is a very important issue. Many sellers do not have much capital themselves, and it would be quite troublesome if the initial investment cannot be recovered quickly. So which payment tool is more convenient?

1. Payoneer is an old partner of eBay, so it will be given priority when entering the market. However, the fees and handling charges are relatively high, which is the main problem.

2. Airwallex is a new platform that has joined eBay to receive payments. Currently, the payment and withdrawal fee is as low as 0. The event page is as follows: https://hub6.cn/vJiLhl
