You Can Lead a Horse to Water
Such is the case with some eBay shoppers. Each week we get the questions on auction items “I need 2 of these for a gift, what’s your best price” blah blah.We respond by telling them to visit our eBay store where there are plenty more with free shipping including. And of course we include the listing number of the store listing so they’ll have no trouble finding it.
Yet we seldom hear anything from these shoppers again. It’s as though they have a natural aversion to going to an eBay store. They come to eBay to wheel and deal, and compete for a good price. There will always be that group of folks who just won’t bite on the eBay store thing.
And of course eBay doesn’t make things any easier with their whopping store fees forcing sellers to hike their prices to make a profit. Oh and it never hurts to point to out we sell them cheaper on our website (heh).
