Has anyone tried the Ebay Commerce Network?
I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with the Ebay Commerce Network?
I am looking to boost my website a bit. Right now eBay and Amazon account for about 80% of my sales and I would REALLY like to lessen that to under 50%. It just scares me to rely so much on websites that are so volatile for my income.
I am already using Google Adwords, and it is working pretty well - I find that it costs just slightly less for each sale than what eBay charges. Bing/Yahoo is a waste of time, IMHO, because they have very little traffic. I use them and will continue to do so, but they probably account for less than 1% of my sales.
I enclose a flyer for my website with each eBay and Amazon order and that has been where most of my traffic is coming from. After 5 years, I have the site doing between $7,000 and $8,000 per month gross and would like to increase that.
The Ebay Commerce Network charges between 5 cents and a dollar for a click-through depending on the category and price of the merchandise. My site accepts PayPal and I also have my own merchant account. For now, I want to stay away from Bitcoin, just because of the bad reputation it has in terms of people associating it with drug transactions.
Any thoughts, experiences or suggestions?
