Further to our message posted earlier ... the search is now working for "rakshabandhan".

I think the hampers will work if they are promoted properly as they cover the whole range for brothers, sisters, bhaiya bhabhi and kids.

Well good idea to keep promoting....Rakshabandhan.
These Following items can be Promoted exclusively as well :


1.) Silver Tiny / Thin / or with CHARMs Bracelets are also Taking place in the Rakhi Season...this is the Latest trend that we have noticed in the recent Rakhi and Designer Jewelry and Dresses (Apparels) Exhibistion that concluded in Jaipur, last weekend, with record Sales..So, in the Specific Raakhi Promotion, where the actual Raakhi's will be promoted, these Silver Bracelets should also be promoted.

2.)Divine gifts : Like Ganesha Statues and all Things related Ganeshas can be Promoted as this is for Prosperity and Gifts. (ganesha is the MOST common, and most Appropriate God, that can be used in any form and is easily given as gifts.

3.) The evergreen "Loose Diamonds and Jewelry" should also be exclusively promoted here

4.) Any Jewelry with " FREE TANGIBLE GIFTS " CAN Exclusively Promoted here

5.) An Exclusive " GIFT IT To SOMEONE " Promotion can be held, where customers can buy somethings and give instructions to send it directly to their relatives in different parts of India and WORLD, so that we the EBAY INDIA SELLERS provide them this Facility of sending gifts directly, saving them a lot of time, and Efforts to send it themselves.



These are some of the Ideas to Promote specifically as well as effeciently with Unique Ideas. The Idea of HAMPERS have already been Discussed, which is definitely a good one.

I would suggest ebay to start a link or a section where listing are listed for international buyers so they can easily find out what they are looking for and also if you can make some special shops where our listing are automatically listed international free of charge you can keep month fee high for those shops as all my items which are appeals which includes salwar ,saree ,and beaded footwear ,leather bags ,Jaipur handicrafts ,now I'm adding Kashmir stuff how can i upload each item in international l listing so it is better to add one more category for shops may be 3000 Rs - 3500 per month where we seller can list our item without and etc cost and we should be able to add pay pal
may be Anchor shop which will be in 3000 fee and seller can sell all his or her item international without paying anything etc well this my problem as i want to list all my item for international buyer in reasonable price as fed up this high fee

Dear Sandyk,

It is surprising that whereas RAKSHA BANDHAN is on 2nd August and Ebay has suddenly woke up and will start promotion from 27th July, only 5 days ago.

Do you think, all Indian sellers will include there items on 27th itself -- All buyers from India will buy on 27th and sellers will despatch on 27th and all courier companies will deliver before 2nd August.

What a joking promotion timing.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STARTED ONE MONTH BACK.

Even most of the offline buyers have already sent there Rakhis whereas in online it needs more days.

Funny Promotion!
