Did you know there is a super fast way to promote what you’re selling on eBay? Not only does this promotion work for many sellers it’s also FREE! By now you’re thinking, “Kathy, Kathy what is it?” You may also be thinking, “What’s the catch?”
It is totally free and there is no catch.
It’s using Facebook, but NOT just any old way.
Let’s start.
You don’t need an eBay store to have a Facebook Business Page.
It can be easier for you to set up a Facebook Business page for an eBay store, but it is not mandatory for having a Facebook business page. Click here for Facebook’s information to set up your page.
Your page is now set up! There is no charge from Facebook for maintaining a business page. Maximize your page with my FREE Sales Power Tips For Your Facebook Business Page. Click Here for yours!
Now go to ebay.com’s page on Facebook. Click on eBay’s Facebook page. This is the page that is eBay’s corporate’s face to the world. This page is geared toward buyers. The first thing to note is that the Facebook page has over 10 million likes.
10 million likes! That is an enormous number. Facebook controls who sees your posts. When you post on Facebook only a fraction of your followers see your content. Who sees it is based on Facebook’s algorithm. If you have 100 friends only a small handful will see your post. The more your friends like and comment on your content, the more people will see it. The same is true of eBay’s page. However, the page is starting with over 10 million people who like their page. Even if a post only reaches a fraction of the page’s fan base, that’s a nice number!
Drum roll, please.
As a seller, you are allowed to post five products a day on eBay ‘s Facebook page!
Sellers, you are getting FREE access to their 10 million people fan base!
You may post a listing, a Promotion created through Promotions Manager, a link to a store category, a link to a Store search and a link to your store header. The link cannot take shoppers off eBay. Links to Twitter, your Facebook Business page etc are not appropriate.
You do NOT need to be a store owner to take advantage of this amazing offer.
If you have a Facebook Business page, when possible, it’s best to post from your Facebook Business ID. Sellers doing so report an increase in likes for their Facebook Business page.
Get your Facebook Business page ready for traffic and likes from customers. My The Ultimate Guide To A Facebook Business Page For Sellers will do just that! Click HERE for yours.
I have been testing posting along with many sellers in the Facebook group eBay Stores Nothing But eBay Stores. Many, many sellers are reporting sales of the items they post in this manner.
Posting on eBay’s Facebook page is free. It takes minutes. It can help your items to sell faster!
I don’t see an option to post anything on ebay’s page?
Hi Jen, just click post.->https://www.facebook.com/ebay/. After posting your post will show under Visitor’s posts.
Does this still work as I have tried but get the following message ‘You do not have the necessary permission for the specified Page to perform the requested action.’
Hi. This happens periodically. It’s Facebook not eBay. eBay loves us to post. Report it to Facebook. Wait a few days you should be able to post again.
Hi Daniel. It does work. When that happens it’s Facebook. Report it to Facebook, and then try posting with your phone or tablet.
IS THIS STILL GOOD INFORMATION?
Hi John yes it is. I have seller friends doing this daily, loving the improved sales results they get.
Thank you! This has been very helpful!
I’m so glad it’s helping you Madcap Toys!
