      Advantages of EBay

      EBay has leveled the playing field for all sellers by allowing everyone the same tools to succeed in sales. The little guy can easily compete with big business and thrive. Because customers choose purchases based on a variety of reasons, a new seller is just as likely to make a sale as more established businesses.

      Some of the main benefits of eBay are the Best Match default line up in search results. This means eBay places the best sales listings at the top of the list which has nothing to do with lowest price. This keeps profit margins up and sales high without destroying the value of merchandise. Some of the other online sellers sort products by price only which tends to favor the lowest and can continually lower profit margins.

      Anything is possible on eBay! Buyers pay what they want in auction format by placing bids. An item in high demand may sell for far more than you could ever imagine. On eBay the value of an item is based on customer demand and not cost to produce or provide.

      A high buy it now price may be purchased because the buyer doesn’t want to wait for an auction to end. Surprising sales are common on eBay because of the many variables including timing, demand, number of interested buyers, and listing choice. This makes selling very exciting and can even be an addiction for some people.

      Items that couldn’t easily be found before can be located in minutes. Complete inventories can be searched on eBay by anyone doing a Google search. This puts your item in front of many potential buyers that other websites cannot offer. Traffic directed to eBay is far greater than what the new seller with a website can generate alone. EBay is an established automated way to sell that anyone can utilize.

      Because of the internet and eBay, the average person can sell items
