Grab More Time For Your eBay Auction
When selling on eBay, time is the one factor that is never on
your side. Obviously the longer your item can stop on eBay, the
higher visibility it receives & the more bids it is likely to
get.
eBay presently offers five different lengths of listings, either
a 1,3,5,7 or 10 day listing.
While a 10 day listing will give you the most exposure your item
will not appear within the top of the relevant category
immediately. Those items which are ending soon are the first to
be shown within eBays listings. Generally new items appear at
the bottom of the category listings and work there way towards
the first page. On a 10 day listing it will take the best part
of a week before your listing is shown on the first page of
search results.
Therefore anyone browsing the eBay categories will not see your
item in the eBay search results. As with search engines, many
users will only look in the top two pages of results.
That is why the 1 day auction format offers a few advantages.
Your item will be viewable immediately to any users browsing
though the eBay categories. However, 1 day may not give many
bidders the opportunity to find your item before the item ends.
So, why not get the best of both sides.
There is a way to both, give your item maximum visibility on
eBay while also keeping it in the
top search results for the
category it is listed in.
It's a very simple tactic that anyone can use. As long as your
item has no bids & doesn't end within 12 hours, eBay allows you
to revise your listing. This revision can be anything, from
title to pictures used including Auction length.
When you first submit your listing to eBay select a three day
format. This will put it within the top two pages of results in
this category. Allow your listing some time, to see if it's
discovered and if not after two days just revise it to a 5 day
auction. Because your auction will have already been running for
two days, when you revise the listing it will show three days
remaining, and still be within the top listings for the
category.
If it's still not discovered and has no bids, just repeat the
procedure for seven and then for ten days. If your able to
revise your listing four times, you'll easily gain more coverage
than any other listing in the same category. And more coverage
should mean more bids!
