Why Participate?
x

Buyers have told eBay that they want to protect their eBay electronics and computer purchases with a Service Plan. You can now give buyers assurance and peace of mind by offering them a Standard Service Plan or Extended Service Plan via the Service Plan program.

It's easy - you promote the Service Plan option via cut-and-paste HTML sniplets (see examples), and a third-party company called N.E.W. Customer Service Companies, Inc, the nation's leading provider of extended service plans, handles the Service Plan sale and servicing. Your buyers get convenient, no-deductible servicing of their Service Plan covered products.

Top three reasons why you should participate
x
  • Earn Service Plan cash bonuses
  • Increase your sales revenue by attracting more bids & buyers
  • Simple and easy to do
For every Service Plan that is sold successfully on one of your items, you earn a cash bonus of 25% or 50% of your eBay Final Value Fee for that particular item - see table below:

Final Product Price Cash Bonus Amount
$200 and below 25% of your eBay Final Value Fee

    Most new and used items in the following eBay categories are eligible for coverage: Computers, Consumer Electronics, Cameras and Photo, Video Games, and Musical Instruments

How to Participate
x

It's an easy one-step process for sellers to participate in the program and offer Service Plans:
  1. Insert HTML sniplets (cut-and-paste HTML code) into your item descriptions and buyer emails (see examples)
When buyers click on the Service Plan links generated by your HTML sniplets, they are taken to more information about the Service Plan program. From there, they can link over to the N.E.W. site to purchase a Service Plan. N.E.W. handles the Service Plan fulfillment and servicing. No additional resources are required on your end.

It costs nothing for you to participate. You earn Service Plan cash bonuses and you increase your sales revenue by attracting more bids and buyers. Just sit back and watch your revenue grow with more sales, higher prices, and cash bonuses. (Learn more about how your cash bonuses are paid)
