Using Auctiva to Boost eBay Selling

Using Auctiva to Boost eBay SellingAuctiva is a program that a lot of people are not too familiar with. You may have come across it many times while exploring on eBay and not even realize it. Auctiva is a separate website from eBay, that supplements it. It is great for organization, money saving, and traffic boosting. It is a free program and all you have to do to begin using it is register.

Why do I use Auctiva?

At the beginning of my eBay adventures I was running a small store and since sales were crucial and most of my time spent was going through periods of trial and error, I wanted to make sure that all of my products that were going to be in the auction format were going to sell. To give them the best shot at selling I wanted to make them all end on a Sunday from anywhere from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. - So what’s the problem with just using eBay you ask?

Well as you may or may not know, you can only schedule one item on eBay, something I wish they would change immediately, and since I had a lot of items that I wanted to list I was forced to do them on separate days, ultimately losing potential higher bidders - until i stumbled upon Auctiva on a random eBay listing.

The number one reason I use Auctiva is because the program allows me to schedule as many listings as I want at no charge. I fell in love with the program immediately when I first started to use it because I was able to list as many auction listings as I wanted all week and schedule them for Sunday all at 9:30 p.m. This also made my shipping a lot easier because I was able to ship all of my auction format items out all on the same day instead of always scrambling to ship everything out every day. Now if you have an eBay store that is constantly selling items at all times of the day, then shipping everyday is something that you are going to have to deal with, but it is always nice to be able to schedule auctions without having to pay the fee that eBay charges no matter how you look at it.

Two other great reasons to start using Auctiva are because it offers free image hosting and free templates. eBay limits the amount of image hosting that you can have and it can get really annoying when eBay stops you from loading anymore pictures up - this is not a problem with Auctiva. Auctiva also offers you a large variety of templates with good and colorful graphics and designs. These alone can boost your eBay selling.

Auctiva Increases eBay Traffic

One of Auctiva’s more favorable free products they offer is there scrolling gallery. Every time you post a listing on eBay, the Auctiva scrolling gallery appears on your listing. This scrolling bar markets other listings that are active and can display up to 14 items at a time. It favors items that are ending nearest and it is auto-appended to your listings and completely customizable. You will immediately start to see increased traffic, and eBay is just as much about traffic and getting the right people to your item as it is actually having the greatest product. You can basically sell anything on eBay, you just have to have the right people see your listings - Auctiva does that for you. Go to Auctiva.com if you are interested in signing up. Auctiva is more for beginners that are trying to get the extra edge while starting up, but it is always good to have as a safety net and it has no negatives when it comes to eBay selling.
