Tips, Tricks and Techniques For Drawing Traffic To Your eBay Shop

To my mind one of the cheapest and most effective ways to drive traffic to your Shop is by promoting some products at Auction and Buy It Now in traditional 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 day listings, where the purpose of those listings is also to draw attention to Shop items, not purely to sell your products.  

I have seen many hugely successful Shop owners promoting just one item through traditional auction and Buy It Now listings to attract people to eBay Shops containing many thousands of similar type products.

These tips will help you get started with this easy, low cost, traffic generating technique:

*  Avoid short term listings – 1, 3, 5, 7 days – gain maximum coverage using ten day listings, choose Auction not Buy It Now to avoid items selling soon and minimising your exposure. 

*  Use low auction starting prices, with no reserve, to encourage more people to open your listing and read about your Shop. 

*  Mention your Shop in auction titles, sub-title, in your descriptions, on clickable links taking visitors to your eBay Shop or ‘About Me’ page. 

I have those links included in all my Auction and Buy It Now listings and I make them as prominent as possible by using large and colourful fonts, graphics, stars and other embellishing devices.  Yes, they are that important!
