Treble Your Ebay Ebook Sales

Double, Even Treble Your Ebay Ebook Sales

If you are listing resell rights ebooks on eBay then there is a very clever way to make more sales from only one listing and most people dont even use this eBay function !!!

First you have to list the item as an online auction, do not do a buy it now or list the item in your eBay shop.

Start the bidding on your new item at 1p, yes only 1p.

Now sit back and wait for the bids to come in.

When your item ends you may have had several bids, I once had 18 bids on an ebook.

So now what?

After your item ends click on the sold item to view the description page.

You will see it says something like

"your item has sold for xxx amount, payment has been sent to......"

Scroll down the item description and you will see

"Additional Options"

Now from these options I want you to choose

"Second Chance Offer"

You will now be taken to the Second Chance offer page, the item number should have automatically been filled in for you but if not then add the item number and click continue.

Now you will see 3 options:

Duration
Select User Ids
Second Chance Offer price

Duration: is the length of time that you want to give for the second chance offer you are sending, between 1 and 7 days, personally I use the full 7 days as many eBayers dont go on eBay every single day but its your choice.

Select User Ids: this is the eBayers Ids who were not successful in winning the ebook.

Second Chance Offer Price: is the highest price they bid for on the ebook.

Now simply use the selection box beside the User Id to select who you would like to send a second chance offer to, ie choose the User Ids whos bids are acceptable to you.

They will each get a separate offer to buy at the previously unsuccessful bid amount.

ie. Susan bid 99p so she gets an offer at 99p Shaun bid £1.49 so he gets an offer at £1.49.

Then click continue.

You will now have the chance to add a personal message, you can leave it this part blank or you can add a message to say that you have more than one of these items if they still want to buy it.

Click send and your second chance offers will be sent to everyone you selected.

All the second chance offers have been sent by eBay, now you just sit back and wait, more times than not the buyer accepts the second chance offer and you have made another sale!

Like I said I once had 18 bids on an ebook, it sold for £2.97, I sent second chance offers to 15 of the unsuccessful bidders, who had made bids ranging from 1p upto £2.96. I only sent second chance offers to 15 because the other two bids were too low, only 1p and 5p.

So I sent second chance offers to 15 people, they all accepted and I made an additional £16.10 from the second chance offers minus the final value fees!

You dont have to pay to use second chance offers, you dont get charged an additional listing fee either the only additional charge will be the final value fee which is a percentage of the price the second chance offer sells for.

So go forth and make many many second chance offers!
