Hi sonal3468,

The sites with free listings currently are India, China and Taiwan.

However, for the purpose of export, markets like US, UK, Australia and Germany are better options. These sites often have promotions such as 10 cent listing day. You can wait for such promotions and list on these sites on these days. This will reduce your cost, while giving you some experience of international markets.

Alternatively, you can create a marketing budget for yourself, and use it to list / promote your products on internatioanl sites. This will again help you keep your costs under control, while experienceing internatioanl markets. Also, if you are selling internationally, please do a good search on completed listings (option is in Advanced search) to get a good idea of what sells in that market. This will help you list saleable products.

Warm Regards,
Tanya Goel

Hi!

I have already put one of my item on ebay today successfully. When I tried some more items to put on, I couldn't manage it as these products I can see in my ebay under selling category but when I searched through ebay website in general, these products were not there. I already have paid all fees of listings to ebay but unable to see the products on ebay. Please guide me how to do?

Thanks,

Sameer ( ebay user id shivsai_in1)

Dear Sameer ( shivsai_in1),

Once you list your item on eBay, it may take upto few hours for it to appear live on the site.

However, i tried searching your listings and currently they are visible when you browse the categories you have listed under and also while doing a search with your item title

Warm Regards,

These discussions are quite lively, but before it goes out of hand (lenghty), it is better to create a small preci for each item's sales tips in a FAQ like list.

Dear indiankari,

PayPal is currently not operational in India and hence we are not in a position to share much details on Paypal.

I would however advise you to visit www.paypal.com and read up for information you require. You can contact the Paypal Team directly for any information. Find below the link to PayPal Help

http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_contact_us

Alternatively, you can also visit the eBay international community boards to seek help from users using paypal on those sites.
