eBay selling is a challenge all year. Here are a few ways to boost your holiday sales.
Use Buy It Now on all auctions from now until Christmas. Decide on what you will accept for a BIN price.People procrastinate. Offering BIN will result in more sales. (Just do your research and make sure you have your BIN price set high enough.)
Add Best Offer to all store inventory items. You don't have to accept the offers, but you will give your customer more options, appear to be a more flexible seller, and be able to capitalize on more opportunities to sell your items.
Know the shipping date deadlines. Visit the USPS website to see a chart with all of the shipping deadlines for the various services.
Stay focused on operating your business. Complete your income producing activities first before getting caught up in holiday activities like baking, shopping, wrapping, and decorating. You still have a business to run.
Stay caught up with your shipping. It is very tempting to want to list more and more items when sales are hot. You don't want forget the customers who have already paid you and are waiting for their product. The USPS is slow enough over the holiday season - don't risk a neutral or negative because you aren't keeping up with your shipping.
Set your limits. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Remember you are going to have to pack and ship everything in addition to listing, running your business, and preparing for your own family's holiday. Holidays are supposed to be enjoyable so avoid adding more stress.
Happy holiday selling!
