Transcripts
so after 12 years of selling on eBay I
just learned probably the biggest trick
to give your eBay sales a boost and in
this video I'm going to share it with
you guys it's super easy super fast to
do and it should increase your sales if
you use this trick so let's go ahead and
Jump Right In
[Music]
all right guys uh so in one of my eBay
stores right now my sales are really
down they're down like 30 percent which
is really concerning to me because it's
the beginning of quarter four and uh
this is the time of the year when sales
should be booming you know beginning of
October people are starting to buy
things for Christmas they're kind of
getting in the holiday spirit and
typically this is the time of year when
sales go through the roof but for
whatever reason you know I couldn't for
the life of me figure out what was wrong
with my store I was doing all of the
regular things like listing regularly
shipping on time you know doing all the
things in my control that I could to try
to make my seller metrics go up so my
sales volume would increase but no
matter what I did it seems like nothing
actually would help my eBay sales until
I discovered this one simple trick now
before I show you what that trick is I
want to jump over to my eBay seller Hub
to show you my sales data for the last
month so you can see exactly what I'm
talking about and exactly what happened
when I implemented this trick that I'm
about to teach you you'll notice that my
sales went through the roof for about 48
Hours Okay so so here we are in my eBay
seller Hub and I'd like for you to focus
in on the middle of the screen where my
sales chart is for the last month here
we have a bar graph and if you look at
that bar graph you can tell that I
normally average around 300 in sales a
day of course that number is kind of low
for what my account normally does right
now I'm about down 25 percent but if you
look at that bar graph there are two
days that really jump off the chart and
that happened about five days ago if you
take a look at those two days both of
those days I sold a thousand dollars in
merchandise in this account and when you
look at that bar graph those two days
really jump out because I use a tactic
that I call the bulk best offer method
now the bulkbest software method is
basically a technique that you're going
to use as an eBay seller to send best
offers to customers on eBay that either
are watching your items or have their
items in their shopping carts for at
least five days and if you're an eBay
seller that's already familiar with how
best offer works I want to tell you that
this is a little bit different of a
method you're not sending best offers to
customers individually you're going to
send out blanket best offers to anybody
in your account that is eligible so
let's go ahead now and jump back over to
my eBay account and I'll show you
exactly how to send out best offers in
bulk to a lot of customers all at once
so here I am back in my seller Hub and
to send out best offers in bulk I want
to go to my active listings Tab and once
I'm in my active listings I want to
scroll down to the quick filters menu
and you're going to see a few different
options but the one you want to click on
is you want to click on the one that
says send offers eligible when you click
on that tab it's going to basically pop
up any listing that you have active on
eBay that you're eligible to send best
offers to to specific customers and as
you can see right now this eBay account
I'm eligible to send 182 best offers and
I can send all of those offers out at
once now a few days ago when I did that
experiment and I had two 1 000 days in a
row I had a lot of eligible best offers
I had like 3 000 best offers I could
send this account is a pretty large
account I have like 15 thousand active
listings in this eBay account and it's
important to know that the more active
listings you have in your eBay account
the more success you're going to have
with sending best offers in both like
this especially if you're not really
discounting your products heavily all
right now back to my seller Hub um to
send best offers to eligible buyers I
want to of course make sure that I have
that send offers tab clicked and then
what I'm going to do is in the top left
hand corner of my results I'm going to
click that check box up at the top to
highlight all of the listings that are
eligible to send best offers to and if I
scroll down you can see that I've got a
lot of listings they're all checked and
they're ready to go for me to send a
best offer to and then all I have to do
is click on the blue button that says
best offers and it'll pop up another
menu bar that's going to enable me to
enter the amount that I want to give off
of each product and then when that menu
pops up I'm going to be able to enter my
percentage off offer to my customers so
if I wanted to repeat that offer that I
did earlier in the week I would put in
five percent down below that I have the
opportunity to add add a custom message
to my potential customers I can even
check if I want to allow counter offers
or I can even send a coupon for future
purchases to customers that I'm sending
best offers to but you can always go
ahead over on the right menu and you
know look at the offers that you're
sending if there's any that you don't
like all you have to do is Click cancel
on this tab and go and uncheck that
check box but anything you have checked
is going to pop up as a best offer
eligible item but if everything looks
good all I have to do is click on that
blue send button and as soon as I click
that it's going to send out all the
offers to all of those potential
interested customers now real quick I do
want to specify that after you've sent
those offers eBay allows you to only
send out best offers to 200 people at a
time so if you have more than 200 that
are eligible for best offers just repeat
that process go back into the menu tab
click all the listings that you want to
send best offers to and then go ahead
and enter your amount and send those
best offers all over again like I said
earlier in the week I had 3 000 that
were eligible I went in and sent them
200 at a time but to do 3000 listings it
only took me like less than five minutes
and that resulted in two days that were
really phenomenal for my eBay sales so
guys um go ahead and give this a try and
I can about guarantee that if you do
this method that you're going to have an
influx of sales and remember your best
offers don't have to be huge discounts
or huge percentages off
um even five percent works and it worked
for me
um especially if you have a huge store
with a lot of items that people are
either watching or having their carts be
prepared if you do this to have an
influx of high volume sales now one more
quick thing before I go I'm anticipating
that people down in the comment section
below will probably ask if there's a way
to do this on the mobile app and to my
knowledge so far there's no way to send
out bulk best offers on Ebay mobile
which is why I showed you how to do it
on the computer now you can send best
offers out on Ebay mobile but you can
only do one-offs or one best offer at a
time which in my opinion doesn't really
use this entire way that I taught you to
its best benefit the real power here
here is being able to send out a lot of
best offers all at once give it a try
and let me know what you think if you
have any questions or comments feel free
to leave them down below and I promise
I'll do my best to try to get back to
you thank you guys so much for watching
you guys are the best and good luck
selling on eBay bye guys
[Music]
thank you
