How to Cut Advertising Costs on eBay

By: Catherine Westmore III

Lets face it. Advertising on eBay
can get expensive. You can spend
more on advertising than your
items are worth if you aren't
careful.
Listing a single item for auction
on eBay can cost anywhere from the
minimum of $0.35 on up to several
dollars and the advertisement is
only good for a maximum of 10 days.

After the time limit that you have
chosen expires and the item hasn't
sold, you are either just out the
advertising cost or you must
re-list your item for an
additional fee.
This can make drastic cuts into
your profit margin or either
erases it altogether.
There is a better and much less
expensive way to advertise your
merchandise on eBay and that way
is to set up a store on eBay
rather than auctioning individual
items.
This isn't to say that you should
never put items up for auction but
the auction should only be used to
attract customers to your eBay
store.
Setting up a store on eBay can
cost less than ten dollars per
month. It wouldnt take a lot of
single auction fees to cost more
than ten dollars each month.
Setting up a store on eBay is very
simple to do.
You dont have to have thousands of
items for sale to have an eBay
store. Nobody expects you to have
as much merchandise as Wal-Mart.
Going the extra mile to make your
first time customers repeat
customers is a huge advertising
cost cutting measure, as well.
Not including a catalog or a flyer
in each and every order that you
ship is just....well...there isnt
another word for it...DUMB.

It costs five times as much to
sell to a new customer as it does
to sell to a repeat customer.
Contacting those who have
purchased from you before every
month or so offering a bargain is
a way to cut advertising costs on
eBay.

About the Author:
I used to be an office and motel cleaner earning minimum wage on a contract by contract basis, working very hard to make ends meet. I have no pedigree, I am a high school dropout from a broken family. I was forced to stay at home after my baby was born, this was like a visit from an angel... I had to find a way of earn a living without leaving home. This was a life turning event... Today I enjoy an extraordinary life, earning in excess of $80,000 a month which allows me to endulge on those things I never thought It was possible before - including having my dream home. I was fortunate enough to find the right business to earn a substantial monthly income from the comfort of my own home.
