Building an Online Reputation At eBay! by Carera James
Online business shares many of the same fundamentals as an offline business.
Both needs a strong presence. Like for any brick-and-mortar company, building
online reputation is essential for the prosperity of your business. In
principle, online reputation is not radically different from offline
reputation, a fact you will appreciate. But building your reputation as eBay
seller follows different lines.
Using the 'About Me' Page to Build Reputation
Many potential Ebay buyers often check the About Me page of the seller to
determine if the seller is indeed who he says he is. Let the eBay community
know about you through this page. Use the page carefully, writing about
yourself, your expertise and niche. You can add weightage by talking about your
selling philosophy and principles. Let on that you are indeed an expert in your
product field. Always maintain an
Ebay Theme for your business in order to be viewed as an authority in
your field.
Use the 'About Me' page to its maximum potential. Although it can be modified
later, it is wise to have clarity before you uploaded it. If you are a
beginner, your 'About Me' page means a lot to your prospective customers. So,
it is a good idea to refer to other veteran sellers' similar pages on eBay
itself. This tiny tip is critical to your Ebay success!
Build your reputation with 'Feedbacks'
Ebay Feedbacks can either make or break your online business. It is anybody's
dream to have their customers' choicest of feedbacks in an ideal situation.
Obviously, eBay provides for your prospective customers to check your
reputation by reviewing feedbacks left for you by your customers. If you are
serious about your business, do ensure that you take every possible action in
acquiring good feedbacks, positive feedbacks.
Feedback Rankings
eBay allows customer feedbacks in three rankings; positive, negative and
neutral. So this is your chance to buildup real reputation in return for the
value delivered. Each positive comment will credit you with a +1 point and
negative with -1. Crossing 10 points mark signifies that you are off the
start-off block. Here afterwards you are rated by a system of stars
distinguished by colors. If you have in anyway offended a customer, quickly
offer to remedy the situation, or offer a refund. A negative feedback from the
customer can jeopardize your business more than a refund would!
There are ten varieties of stars for points earned by you, starting from 10 to
100,000 points and more. Make sure you strive to achieve good rankings!
Let Your Customers See It
Your greatest eBay asset is the customer feedbacks which you can proudly
display. You can choose to hide them for your own reasons but keeping it public
has the chance to boost your business. You can initiate dispute resolution if
you didn't deserve a negative feedback. All the Power Sellers flaunt their
status, so should you!
Like all things good, positive feedbacks do not come overnight. You have to
work at it. You can't take customer feedbacks for granted. Earn them through
sustained professional and ethical practices and by proving your practices are
one with your declared principles. Get more
