How to save money selling on the eBay app

eBay Bucks is a platform that gives eBay buyers a fraction of their purchase in the form of a certificate.  This certificate can help you to settle future eBay purchases.  eBay Bucks ranges between 2% to 10%, especially for an individual who shops frequently. 

The main advantage of eBay Bucks is to provide special promotions to customers.  For instance, when you sell an item worth $100 and the eBay Bucks selling promotion is approximately 10%. So, you’ll get around $10 in the form of an eBay bucks’ certificate in addition to the original $100 payment from the buyer.

Use eBay Labels    

Clients shipping through US Postal Service and using eBay Labels can save between 5% to 23% on USPS shipping costs. And if you’re a pro seller, likely you’ll earn more discount.

Reuse Shipping Supplies

Clients who always sell a variety of stuff pay more while shipping supplies. However, the best way to minimize these expenses is to reuse shipping supplies, particularly when packing boxes from the online purchase you had previously made. Or, take advantage of the cardboard boxes that aren't being used. These boxes will help you save when shipping and even you can repurpose those items. You can also design your packing material like old newspapers and magazines. And if you’re an average American who always receives a lot of mail weekly, you can offer packing service on the eBay platform.

Avoid Insertion Fees   

As a casual seller, prevent insertion fees by limiting the number of listings each month.  For instance, many sellers accumulate over 50 free listings each month. If you’ve an eBay Store account, probably you’ll have many listings.  And also, once you’ve listed your item, you’ll earn an insertion fee refunded back to you.  And if you have a perfect plan on how to save money selling on eBay as a seller, you'll rarely pay an insertion fee.

Become a pro seller 

The good news is that as a pro seller, you can get a discount on the Final Value Fee and save money selling on eBay. This fee plays a major role as a source of income for eBay. Generally, it's approximately 9.5% of the final price of the item sold.  This 10% fund comes from the final cost of the item such as shipping.  Once you become a pro seller, Final Value Fee automatically drops from 9.15% to 7%.

Avoid Listing Upgrades

eBay has listing features to help sellers add subtitles or schedules when the listing goes live. However, these upgrades won’t raise your chances of selling an item.

Always ship with delivery confirmation

Always ship with delivery confirmation unless the risk is smaller or an item is cheap. You can also use the tracking number to confirm if your package reached your intended destination. Otherwise, many buyers will defraud you and even tell you the item never got to your home.

Bottom line
