If you have products to sell online and have been using eBay, you might want to try eCrater.com which is free. The set up of your store is very easy you can even add your own logo. Once you have your store set up and all your items for sale listed, you just need to drive traffic to your store. Since eCrater is not like eBay most shopper will not find you through a search on the site although some people do search on eCraters main page. The site gets indexed by Google so most shoppers will find you by searching on Google or other search engines. If you want even more traffic then you need to do a ppc campaign and drive traffic to your site. An example of this would be, say you spend $100.00 a month on eBay fee’s why not take $50.00 and advertise your top selling item through eCrater. You just need to go to preview mode on eCrater which take you to yor live store. Then you find the product you want to advertise. Once you are on the right product page copy and highlight the url at the top of your browser. In your ppc campaign add this as your destination url. All click will end up on the right product page, make sure to test the link before starting any paid search. Simple free and very easy to use I hope more people start using eCrater they have a great site that does not get as much press as other auction or selling platforms. With some products I sell this has been a great choice. Your eCrater shoppers can pay through Paypal.

Just a general feel of the eBay platform is that it seems to be losing many sellers to other selling options. There are also some new rules that have placed sellers at risk of being banned from the sight or not showing up in the search results. It’s true that some changes will benefit the buyers, but it is also a very unfair system for sellers. In some cases even if a seller made a small mistake eBay does not take into account the issue and can ban a member.

If you are an eBay seller not only must you get use to having less sales, but you need to have a back up plan in case you get banned from the site. This is why having your listings on other sites like www.ioffer.com or www.ecrater.com can be a great back up.
