Not as expected. Has increased a little but have to pay more for listing every month compared to earlier fees.

1) By charging listing fees ebay has made the content clean and easy for existing buyers. For increase in sales we need either two things to happen

a) Miraculous change in attitude of existing buyers to start buying on ebay more

b) Getting new buyers/member to ebay.

By charging listing fees i don't feel any of these happen significantly.

My Dear Co Sellers

I am quite positive with the Indroduction of the listings fees. One day this has to be done. Its better that its has been applicable now.

On sales Point ! i am more into international sales and getting a termendous response. My UPI rate is drastically low in comaprison to other sellers. In the listings fee era Market reasearch is a very crucial factor.

Sales on the other hand also depends upon what one is selling !! sellers listing junk items or items which are normally available in every nook and corner of the country will fetch low sales. Again i would say to get good sales you should have to do a lots of market research........... definetely one can get good results and great sales

Dear nitro Fasion

change the way you deal with your customers give them some personal touch make them feel special send some cheap freeebees with every sold product definetely your buyer will be back to you for more of you ,

you can explore the International market there is vast scope for any kind of products on various sites across ebay.

Even listings fees is low on ebay.in in comparison to other ebay sites and i think it is perfect for the Indian sellers and buyers. Listings fees on the other sites can be as much as Rs 25 mimimum and still there you will not get sales. then you have you use Market research that what sells and what not and have to list according to the deamnd of the market and buyers.

My Excell sheets shown good results and good sales for the last previous months. that can also be judged by my feedbacks.

So cheer Up Guys !!!! Find some other way out to survive in this world's Largest Online Marketplace ............!!!!!

Hi!

I feel that the sales are good after the introduction of listing fees. Non serious competitors have vanished and there is less junk across categories. Even I agree with what punjabimall said, that items that are available in every nook and corner of the country wont sell fast.

Only those items sell fast which are not available easily. We have to work hard for that and sell something unique. In my category I always notice that the cell phones which are available every where offline don’t have a good demand. But the discontinued models or rare ones have a good demand online. Or else the price should be good.

dear nitro_fashion, i noticed that there are some complaints on your feedback page. i have always noticed that 99.99% of buyers on eBay are highly qualified and high class people. They expect good service and good product and of a high quality. It should be backed up with good customer service and above all the product should be the best without defects.

If we care for the customers the over all experience will be good and I think it should be better for the future.

I went to the recent ebay Meet and what I saw opened my eyes !

All uncles and unties above the age of 35 !!

ebay is the place for uncle and aunties and not for young people !

These oldies buy only computer Items and stuff like that !

ecommerce is yet to mature in india !

The problem is marketing ! ebay sucks in marketing... !

For the same number of products my rediff sales is 15 times for that of ebay !

Today sachin from ebay called and I explicitly told him ebay is not doing enough for marketing !

You look at ebay.com and every seller is getting enough order to get 20K feedback, why not in ebay.in ??

Ok number of buyer is more in ebay.com but so are seller !!

My baazee sales were almost 10 times what it is in ebay now !The current demography in ebay are people who buy mostly electronics. Good for sellers who sell electronics but what about other sellers !!

Due to the current fee sellers only sell which is guaranteed to sell rather than unique products !

Just because I got 3 negative ratings doesn't mean I don't care for customer ! Most of my sales are repeat order from buyers from earlier times !

eBay is badly managed no doubt about it ! It has gone downhill from the baazee days!
