Successful eBay sellers know that price is a key factor in attracting buyers. So, what pricing strategy is right for your products on eBay? How do I price to be competitive while maximizing profit?
According to Omni-Channel Retailing, 87% of Americans confirm that price is very or extremely important. People are more willing to buy an item if they perceive that the value matches or exceeds the price. It’s all about the customer. How to I price to catch their eye, make them feel they’re getting a great deal, and click to buy.
For instance, if we are selling a pair of leather gloves on eBay but another vendor is offering the same gloves at even a few cents less, buyers will give the seller with the less expensive gloves their hard-earned money. A few cents may seem trivial but shoppers love a deal. The bottom line is price matters and yes even a few cents.
Jim “The Griff” Griffith, host of eBay’s own podcast, recently remarked “ If you(sellers) are not seeing click through and sales, it’s usually price.”. So, clearly price matters on eBay. However, it’s daunting to know exactly what price to put on products with the many competitor sellers on eBay. The task of pricing seems next to impossible and very time consuming.
