Get 75% off your eBay Store items’ Final Value Fees!

Did you know that there’s a way to save a whopping 75% off your Final Value Fees on items sold through your eBay Store! These are savings that could make a real difference to your profit margins!

The strategy involves taking advantage of eBay’s Store Referral Credit, and it’s a tactic that will really put you ahead of your competitors because many eBay sellers simply DON’T know about it!

The Store Referral Credit that can save you a small fortune in fees

The eBay Store Referral Credit allows you to obtain a refund of 75% of your Final Value Fee for every item bought through your eBay Store by a buyer who entered your store directy from a web site or link outside eBay.

This includes:

* A buyer who clicked on a link to your store on any web site outside eBay, for example, your own web site.

* A buyer who clicks on a link to your store in an e-mail they received from you.

* A buyer who clicks on a link to your store from a pay-per-click ad.

* A buyer who types in your eBay Store URL into an Internet browser.

The other two main requirements are:

1. The buyer MUST purchase an item from your eBay store during that session on eBay.

2. The buyer MUST buy from your store inventory (so an item bought through your regular auction listings won’t qualify for a fee credit).

For a full list of requirements, go here.

Final Value Fees are a percentage of the final price at which you sell your item. The percentage depends on the actual final price — starting at a basic 8% for an item up to the value of $25 and rising as your final selling value rises. For example, an item that sells for $100, will incur Final Value Fees of $5.75. So savings of up to 74% of these fees are no small potatoes. They really add up, especially if your eBay Store sells high-value items!

How to maximize your Store Referral Credit savings

The key to making this strategy work for your business is to drive as much traffic as you can to your eBay Store from outside eBay.

There are three main ways to do this:

1. Link to your eBay Store from other web pages outside of eBay, including:

* Your own web site
* Your own blog
* Your signature in comments that you leave on other peoples’ web sites, blogs, and on forums and message boards (for example, the ones on eBay)

2. Put a link to your store in e-mails you send out to customers and in response to bidders’ questions

3. Place the URL for your eBay Store on printed material such as receipts to your eBay customers, business cards and leaflets, and even on stickers in your car windows!

4. Buy Pay-per-Click advertising through services like Google Adwords (www.google.com/adwords) and Yahoo! Search Marketing (www.overture.com). Pay-per-Click ads are the “sponsored” ads you see on your results pages when you search for information on search engines like Google and Yahoo!.

The beauty of buying Pay-per-Click advertising is that you can attract extremely targeted visitors to your eBay Store — people who are likely to buy your product. That’s because you “bid” on specific keywords when you create a Pay-per-Click ad, so you attract people who are searching on those specific words in the search engines.

So, not only will you generate more sales for your eBay business using PPC advertising — you’ll also get 75% off your Final Value Fees.

You can choose which page you want the link to go to, such as your store’s main page, the page of an individual item in your store, or your About Me page. In order to direct your visitors to the correct page and keep track of whether they buy something so you can receive your credit, you need a special link with a code attached to it.

This link includes the URL of the relevant page (taken from the Address bar in your browser) and a short piece of code — it’s easy to set up links for your store pages. For more information about eBay’s Store Referral Credit, go here.
