eBay Classifieds
 
Has anybody used the classifieds section of eBay? It costs more, but does it cut out the junk traffic you get on Craigslist? And is the traffic still worth it?

rsot 08-09-2010 12:06 PM

Not much clue here - doesn't get you feedback and Paypal doesn't cover buyer protection...so...you can imagine.

MadSam 08-09-2010 12:11 PM

Well maybe not for certain items, but for driving to another sales page or site. Are eBay classifieds still **** hot or not?

rsot 08-09-2010 12:25 PM

Hopefully other people can give better input then.

I see alot of classified add pages that people use to drive traffic to there own personal sites. Now if it realy increases the traffic that much I realy have no clue.:thumb:

MadSam 08-09-2010 03:41 PM

Has anybody who's used it got anything to contribute?

IDK 08-09-2010 05:31 PM

There is simply NOT enough info on eBay classifieds, ANYWHERE!

MadSam 08-09-2010 07:08 PM

Exactly! Has ANYONE used it???

Any classified posters?

Good question. I too would like to hear any input from anyone that's used it.

MadSam 08-12-2010 11:11 AM

So in all these ebayers nobody has used the classifieds?

SaiJin 08-12-2010 01:17 PM

Is it easily viewable though?
I'd think that most people just go to the dot com, and search, rather than look into the classifieds?

pod 08-12-2010 01:19 PM

Well, isn't the classified site just Kijiji? Now owned by eBay

I think its a different crowd more looking for local stuff. Well Kijiji is like that in Canada anyway. I use it lots to sell locally and it works very well.

SaiJin 08-12-2010 01:22 PM

Oh. I thought it's inside eB com itself.

So it's like a craigs list

pod 08-12-2010 01:26 PM

Yes, it used to be a pretty version of CL for listing classifieds. eBay would have no part of that, so they bought them. If you look at Kijiji in Canada, you can see how it was. They dont show it as owned by eBay here, not sure why.

SaiJin 08-12-2010 01:31 PM

Hmmm.... So eBay owns them now? US and CA kijiji?
And the classifieds is basically Kijiji, correct?

If so, it doesn't seem to be well marketed . Or I've just been living in a cave

Well, that's why eBay bought it. They don't really want you to use it I think, so they don't push it. Here, ads are 100% free. Not so sure on the US end...

I assume they are owned by eBay here as well, but I dont know

SaiJin 08-12-2010 01:47 PM

plenty of users though? I'd like to sell my smartphone and I don't want to use my eB to do so since it's several hundred $.

pod 08-12-2010 01:49 PM

Its awesome for smartphones. Here anyway. I've sold lots of blackberries. Get good high prices. Cash. No shipping. And they sell fast. I would never sell a smartphone on eBay

Now I cant speak for where you are though.

SaiJin 08-12-2010 01:53 PM

Ok, I'll look into it. Thanks for the info

MadSam 08-13-2010 02:48 PM

Research shows typical ebay classified can get 900 views. Works out cheaper than adwords but is it any more or less targeted?

pod 08-13-2010 02:57 PM

wow 900? How its targeted is a really good question. Hell, I think I will post some ads this weekend and see how well they workout. If they let me. Being Canadian they may force me to use Canadian site.

MadSam 08-13-2010 06:20 PM

Yes please do post us your results.
