Lower your Ebay auction fees

We all know that once a month eBay hits you with your invoice. My invoice is generally thousands each month in auction fees. But, believe it or not, you probably save me at least a thousand dollars a month with some safe tips. The tips that I will tell you are well known. Many proxy sellers use these same tips to lower auction fees. You may not save thousands of dollars, but you will see a big decrease on your eBay monthly bill if you use some of these tips.

Use Dutch or multi-item auctions. These types of auctions will allow you to sell multiple items in one auction. If you have multiple items that are the same, this type of auction is useful. You can sell multiple items to sell in bulk to a lucky bidder. Or you can sell multiple items to many different eBay users by buying it now. When you list multiple items on a list, you only pay for one auction. This can only save you tons of money each month. Sometimes a person will miss your auction and offer you a deal for one of the items for sale. eBay does not recommend this type of practice as it would be an external deal. But I can't say that people don't.

Don't pay for additional photos and services. Learn HTML, it is very easy and it will save you tons of mass. With HTML, you can place images in your auction for free. You can add your own add-ons that eBay will normally make you pay for. All of these little add-ons is how eBay makes its money. Millions of people pay for these same options that you can place for free auction directly into your HTML auctions. Plus, you get the benefit of using a professional-looking auction template with custom options to your liking. Using HTMl in your auctions will also increase your sales.

Use the second chance offer. The second chance bid gives the person who came second in the bidding war, to win the auction at the price at which they ended their bid. If the bidding war ended at $ 50. And the second bidder bid $ 49.99, you can offer the item to them. That person is usually so angry that he lost at the auction that he is happy that he offered him a second chance offer.

Relist your unsold auctions. Yes, if you re-list your auctions the second time, it is absolutely free. On the condition that it be sold. But most auctions are sold a second time. Some categories don't allow you to do this, but most categories will give you this great discount. Many eBay members don't know about this little trick. Use it and save!

Open an eBay store. Having an eBay store can save you a lot of money because the item can stay active for weeks. The listing fees for each item are really low with an eBay store. If you are good at driving traffic, your eBay store will not only save you money, it will be a gold mine.

Use the price pyramid for starting prices. For example, if you are selling an item for $ 25.00, the auction fee is $ 1.20. But if you include it in $ 24.99, the auction fee will be $ 0.60. You can save yourself a good mass considering the price pyramid.
If a buyer doesn't pay, get back your auction fees. Did you know that if someone doesn't pay, they can get their auction fees returned? That's right, go to your "my eBay" and look for customers who bought things for you. Now give them a payment reminder. You can give them 2 more payment reminders, over a period of about 2 weeks. If the auction is not paid on the third payment request, eBay will refund the auction fees. Just click on the refund auction fees next to the name of non-paying customers on their "my eBay".
