There are only eight weeks left of 2009, which means now is the time to kick your eBay selling into high gear!
Auctiva has many convenient tools to help you get organized and get your listings posted on eBay efficiently—and to help them look great, too! Here are a few tips to make the best use of our tool set during this holiday selling frenzy:
1. Use Auctiva to schedule your listings. Create your listings whenever it’s convenient for you and schedule them to launch on eBay at the optimal time. Remember, you won’t have to pay eBay’s 10-cent (or more) scheduling fee when you use Auctiva to schedule your listings. Just create your listings, and specify a time and date when you want them to launch. Auctiva will take care of the rest.
2. Browse through our great selection of holiday-themed templates. Whether you want a basic wintery background, or one with elves and toys, we have a template for you. What better way to make your listing stand out from the rest, look professional and attract buyers?
3. Bring on the images! When you list directly on eBay, you can include one image in your listing for free (except if you list in a few selected categories), but each additional image with cost you 15 cents. That can really add up. But you want to show your buyers exactly what they’re bidding on, or thinking about buying, right? Well, if you list with Auctiva, you can use more than 24 images in each listing without incurring additional image fees from eBay. Now that’s a deal.
4. Take advantage of our Profiles to list faster. My favorite feature of Auctiva is the ability to easily create a new listing from one I already have saved in my account using our Profiles. They save you time by automatically inserting into your listings the information you use most often, with just a few clicks.
