Dear eBay Electronics Seller,

Welcome to the first issue of the Electronics Newsletter. This is just the first of many upcoming newsletters. Recently, a large segment of our seller community has requested category-specific newsletters that provide key insights on how to sell more successfully in your market. Each quarter, eBay will send you a fresh newsletter edition, with tips reflecting the latest research and seller input. Be sure to watch out for future editions! Also, look for our email "Flashes" throughout the year - these will be 1-2 bullets sellers can act upon to impact your sales immediately.

The goal is to help sellers:
  • Obtain sales and search data for electronics categories
  • Learn about new seller features and programs
  • Gain insight with seller tips and best practices
In this inaugural issue for electronics sellers, you'll find articles on:
  • Free shipping works! Research shows that free shipping is a highly effective selling strategy. During the high volume holiday season we'll give an extra market push to sellers offering free shipping. It's a workable way to level the online playing field and compete with the traditional big electronics internet sites. Read More..
  • The top ten buyer search terms for electronics categories, which will help you learn how consumers are searching within your category on eBay. Sharpen your terms and electronics buyers get to you faster. Read More..
  • The top ten supply constrained categories-that is, products that have far greater demand than supply. These are the sweet spots in the market just waiting to be filled. Read More..
  • A new warranty program for new, used, and refurbished equipment. The program increases both profits and consumer satisfaction, and we're testing it first this October in the trailblazing electronics categories. Free to sellers! Read More..
  • eBay at Comdex 2002. We are excited to announce our plans to attend the Computer Industry's largest trade show of the year while entertaining our Electronics/Technology sellers with eBay's first ever Seller Summit. Read More...
We appreciate your business and your contribution to the eBay marketplace. We hope you enjoy reading the publications, and even more importantly, find the articles useful. As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome and can be sent to electronics_newsletter@ebay.com

Regards,

The eBay Electronics Team
