eBay has been offering some nice incentives for sellers. First and foremost is the 30 Day/Good Til Cancelled Fixed Priced listings, also called FP30. You can now list an item in Fixed price format for as little as $.35!. Nice bargain.

Now, PowerSellers can offer Free Shipping on items and get double their PowerSeller fee discounts, Free Subtitles and a boost in search results.

If you have room in your margin to offer free shipping, it is well worth it. In Fact, use this little trick to help out even more:

  • Use a Fixed Price listing format and get your Free Upgrades(Subtitle) by offering free shipping.
  • If you have multiple items (Quantities) , create a listing for a quantity greater than 1. This will help keep up your visibility as items sells, you stay at the top of the results.
  • Create a post on your blog about your new listing, or put a link into Twitter. Be sure to use the ?REFID=STORE at the end of you link.

Using the steps above will get you listed in the search engines quickly (For blog posts with good keywords and unique content) Double your final value fees as a PowerSeller and save 75% on Final Value Fees using the REFID=STORE link.
