As we head into the bank holiday and back to school season, eBay UK are running an eBay UK selling promotion with fees limited to £1 per item between the 24th and 27th of August.
As you’d expect, this eBay UK selling promotion is for private seller eBay accounts only. The fee will be a maximum of £1 per item for successful sales. You’ll also need to activate the offer for your eBay account at ebay.co.uk/promo.
The eBay UK selling promotion ends on the 27th of August and the item must sell within the first listing period for the offer to be valid. As normal T&Cs apply and we’ll add a link as soon as it’s available.
Tips for selling on eBay
eBay offer the following tips to make selling easy:
-
Download the app
eBay has focussed on making selling even simpler, especially when it comes to the app which benefits from seamless integration with your phone camera.
-
Think like a buyer
Fill the title with as many key words as possible, take photos and write a description that really sells your product .
-
Pick your price
You have the option to either list as a fixed price or an auction. If you know the price you want and are happy to sit back and wait then choose the fixed price option. If you’re keen to sell your item faster, explore the auction option.
-
Pick your duration
You also need to consider the duration: a seven-day auction that ends on Sunday gives more time to garner interest and watchers, but if you’re selling a unique item you might want to select ‘good til cancelled’ which gives you plenty of time to get your item in front of buyers with no end date.
-
Consider allowing offers
If you choose the ‘allow offers’ feature buyers are able to place their offer, and it’s up to you if you want to accept or decline. If you’re not sure which to choose, then eBay will provide lots of guidance through the listing process to increase your chances of selling and getting the best price.
-
Use eBay delivery
When it comes to packaging up and sending your parcel, eBay has secured great prices on tracked services that can be dropped off at thousands of locations nationwide. You’ll save money, be protected and can do it all through the eBay site.
-
Go free
Increase your chances of selling by offering your buyer free shipping, you can always include the cost in your price.
