Other sellers share their successful tactics for driving more business to their eBay Stores.

Promote your store in your Auctions
  • Create a balanced inventory of auction and store items on eBay - The most successful store sellers are using auction items to help drive traffic to their store
  • Mention your eBay Store in your auction listing descriptions (e.g., "We have more great inventory & accessories you can BUY NOW from our eBay Store")
  • Suggest that buyers visit your store for accessories, add-ons, or more colors and sizes of your items
  • Use the Merchandising Manager to cross-sell your items at the item level, and promote these items in key buyer locations
  • Offer promotions such as free or discounted shipping on additional items they purchase from your store in the same day
Build brand awareness with buyers
