Competition Getting Toughest on Ebay Site

[kumar.m]

From last 2-3 Months i observed that competition is getting tough/throat cutting on ebay.
now there is very cheap margins on deals. sellers are selling the items at very very low margins. and apart from that hard ebay policies
i think only genuine sellers can survive on ebay.
i am worried about online business. and i will have to think the next steps.
whats your opinion!!

That is sad. I have stopped listing at US for last many days. German buyers are best.

Hello photoshopindia

Not only a new sellers sells product at chipper price. But some of the sellers who given there suggestion in this discussion they are also selling product at lowest margin due to which other sellers margin affected. Previously we are getting margin upto 500 per mobiles but now a days we can't get 50 rs. also. Due to only such fool sellers who sells product at lesser margin just for publicity. But they don't know that no use of it. Buyers are more smart than sellers. If you list product with 500 margin they don't have any option other than buying. Because already they are getting GC from eBay for there purchase. Also buyer want product @ lowest price then the listing price. Then why we reduce product price ? Keep margin which you want. Do not list products without margins. I think this only done when all sellers do it. In the competition of sellers buyers are getting benefit of it.

competition has increased drastically but the online purchases have also increased remarkably. Tools such as Terapeak may help few sellers, but these tools are expensive too. Now the time for small time sellers (hobby sellers) is gone. eBay is a marketplace for serious high volume sellers now. Unless a seller offer extremely competitive price, it would be difficult to sustain their sales.
