Ebay Powersellers

I hope that you will take the time to read all of this article it provides a solution to expanding your business.

Please allow me to introduce ourselves.
We are former Ebay Titanium Powersellers.

Before leaving the community, we were frustrated that Ebay had stopped listening to the powersellers that are crucial to maintaining it’s reputation.
What they seem to have forgot is that without reliable sellers there is no Ebay.
The constant rising fees and overseas sellers (who use buy for 1p ship for £20.00) are being allowed to compete in the U.K market place, without the burden of our U.K taxation and costs, this means that they are effectively turning Ebay U.K into what now looks like Ebay China, and worse!
We had many meetings with senior officials and had good contacts inside Ebay, as we did lots of promotional work to help Ebay, along with national media coverage and were featured in the Daily Mirror for them on how to run a successful business on Ebay only to be targeted afterwards. This really did turn into a bit of a joke when Ebay were constantly undermining U.K business with their policies. .
Our problems that we were encountering and concerns about what was happening to Ebay were discussed with the top-level people, but sadly this fell on deaf ears. They do want our fees and business but would not listen to any of our comments and concerns.
Everything we said would happen, has happened, sellers are being squeezed as fees have risen, the sellers are held to ransom by the feedback system which is not fair to the people who are trying to make their business grow. Just one malicious customer can destroy a sellers good reputation…One of your competitive sellers (under another username) can do exactly the same thing….
Ebays greed is clearly showing as their fees increase, but that’s only because they have no competition, but they preach that they provide a level playing field for sellers but they also know that costs vary across the world. Where is the seller’s protection with this? They really should listen to their customers.

We also discussed at the time that Ebay could have turned Ebay Express into a separate establishment, for Powersellers who had been promoted through their hard work and reputation. Ebay Express should have been a separate site for top UK sellers and could have been marketed as the ‘Best of Ebay’. Again the impetus was lost, Ebay constantly promotes ‘Buy it Cheap’ and obtaining fair prices regularly has become even more difficult for sellers as customers have been primed and conditioned.

What has happened?

Recent strikes by powersellers show the discontent and recent rises in fees, again showing Ebays incompetence to understand U.K business. Powersellers should understand that Ebay will never change. No other Auction house has been able to attract the high volume of customers that sellers need, but also the customers do not move because the Powersellers are providing the choice the customers require. It’s a catch 22 situation.

How did we Escape?

Firstly we are still internet based selling our ladies clothing. 5 years ago we scanned the internet for other outlets without success but noticed that google had strengthened its position and was fast became the leading authority for internet searches. Google is the No: 1 search engine and searches means many new customers. We are doing extremely well with our website and have not looked back since leaving Ebay.

Owning your own website.

If you get it right you will never look back….
These are the options.

1. Do It Yourself website.
Success rates are nil, remember you are up against talented developers and unless you are prepared to study for a number of years, you do not stand a chance of becoming successful through search-engines.

2. Use local developers.
They will sell you pretty pages that do not have any impact through free natural searches, these sites can cost more in advertising than ebay fees with fewer sales.

3.Use proven Developers
3. Use proven developers who understand your business. We understand better than anyone, as we were top in Ebay and are now top in Google and other search engines.

History

5 years ago I started my education with web development through investing £3000.00+vat in www.j-lou.com. The developer produced a website that looked very nice but it did not work, I was fobbed off and ‘Quoted’ “that not all products sell online”. I had no information to know why or what was going on…
18 months later I was approached by a large company owned by ITV who discussed my website and said that the reason it did not work was the developers had used an obsolete database, which could not be read by the search engines, plus the website needs this and needs that etc, depending on how successful we wanted it to be.

Assured by the size of the company we place a £5000.00 +vat order for a new version with a new design.
6 months later we were asking why the site had not taken off. I was told it was working, it just needed the next stage of internal page generator which generated back links but this was £3500 + vat. Etc.
This is when my research and training started. I wanted answers…
To cut a long story short £25,000 later and 4 years wasted with hundreds of man hours invested by us, we had learnt enough to know that we were being ripped off badly…

I sacked the company. And demanded a refund, which I didn’t get.
Taking on the project with what we had learnt, we instructed the right work to be done with our new associate and tackled the SEO work ourselves. Resulting in constant regular sales and relevant keyword and search traffic for free. We currently hold 1000′s of first page positions (including no.1′s) on Google with www.j-lou.com

It’s all about relevent traffic and as you can see the search terms are perfect for selling womens clothing.

The 4 year delay caused by web developers has probably cost us over £1,000,000 in lost sales “now that’s serious money” dwarfing the fees for development.

I know that there are many powersellers who think like us and want another outlet but do not understand the internet and how it works. They are stuck inside Ebays box and feel that there are not any alternatives…

Established Online 2001:- United Kingdom

With so many retailers, especially the high street retailers that now realise how powerful E commerce websites can be those top positions on search engines will become ever more difficult, we have devised a very complex system that helps retailers drive traffic from the search engines, not only do we target main keywords but also a wide variety of product terms that can be found through searchers refining their searches, the more products or services means more customers, teamed with multi functioning marketing stratagies such as email marketing which captures interested customers for return promotions.

E commerce solutions by web designers who have no experience of running a successful online stoer have a huge disadvantageI would compare it with Russel brand taking on mike tyson in a boxing match…

Online sales through Ecommerce does have factors with getting customers to your site so all the catagories of development still apply but thats where ie stops, as when the customer enters there has to be retail experience knowing what goes through a customers mind to purchase a product, simular to selling through a shop and coaxing the customer to part with there hard earnt money.

That critcal eye and the attention to detail the convinces the customer to purchase, building the desire and selling the sizzle is not taught in web design classes. Thinking as a buyer doesn’t come with a program.

We have been successful online retailers since 2001 in a tough market of female fashion so if you’re looking for professionals that can esculate your business to achieve online success look no further than webserve development.
