subject: Increase Your Ebay Sales By Offering Courier Delivery Options [print this page] Online auction site eBay announced recently that it is rolling out a new feature across the site a virtual shopping basket. The basket will allow shoppers to add products to a list and then when they are finished browsing, enable them to compare the items in their basket, pay a number of sellers at the same time and if they want to, pay for items separately.
For sellers, the new shopping basket provides a big opportunity to increase the number of products that they sell. However, in order to make your products available to as many people as possible, it is necessary to offer a variety of domestic and international shipping options. If you don't then obviously you are limiting the number of people who can purchase your goods. Offering shipping to every country makes sure that the world is your market and you are giving your business the best possible chance of succeeding online.
There are a number of courier companies out there in the UK that provide international courier services, but unfortunately not all of them are capable of offering the type of service that a serious eBay business owner requires. When you are dealing with customers it is vital to make sure that they receive their products on time and in top condition. Once they have paid for them, then really it is the very least they should be able to expect.
The best way to find courier services that you can rely on 100 per cent is to go onto the internet and search for a specialist online parcel delivery company. There are firms out there that have years of experience handling international parcel deliveries and so it always makes sense to go with the best in the business. Failure to do this could lead to negative feedback from the customer when they discover that their goods haven't turned up, or that they have arrived damaged.
On the other hand, if you do let a professional courier company handle your international shipments, then you can relax in the knowledge that the job will be carried out as you'd expect. If a customer receives their goods quickly and in top condition then they are far more likely to come back to your eBay shop or seek you out and buy from you again. Building a reputation when you're involved in selling online means everything, so ensure you have a professional courier backing you up.
