Yantram Online Business Vs eBay

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, Republic of (Free-Press-Release.com) January 17, 2012 --

eBay is an online auction where everyday people can sell an item or two with small upfront charges. People who have an eBay account can bid on these items until the sellers close, just like an in-person auction. Or, the seller can choose the 'Buy it Now' option, which lists an item at a fixed price and there is no bidding process. eBay is an online auction where everyday people can sell an item or two with small upfront charges.

Payment can be done with a credit/debit card or the most popular method - PayPal, which keeps personal information confidential and also acts to prevent against fraudulent transactions. Once payment is confirmed, eBay deducts their fees, which is usually a percentage of the final sale and the initial posting fee. The fee schedule depends on the bidding price of the item. If a person has more than a few items to sell or wants sell on an ongoing basis, then the best option is to open an eBay store. These come with pre-designed templates, set-up is fairly easy as far as having a choice of shipping options, pricing and the type of customer a seller wants to do business with.
For example, a seller can make their eBay shop invisible from buyers who have had negative feedback from other sellers in recent or have had problems getting their payments cleared on items they bought on eBay. Monthly fees for stores vary and other options are available. The disadvantages are that customization is limited and regardless of whether or not a sale is made; a flat, monthly fee must be paid in order to remain open. Some people start off by selling a few items and gradually move into opening up a store just to test the waters.

For some, opening an ecommerce website is a better solution. If skilled at desktop publishing, HTML or basic web design then this would give a person opportunity to show off their creative side. Even if a person has no artistic ability but has a vision or theme in mind, they would be more likely to get positive results from a customized ecommerce store as opposed to a pre-formatted template offered as part of an online auction package. At the time of set-up, payment preferences and other filters can be established with the webmaster or company running the site. Companies that offer e-commerce websites have other essentials such as email, weblogs, search engine optimization and marketing packages are usually included in the price. Fees for e-commerce set up are yearly and in most cases, less than that of online auctions when calculated on a monthly basis. This eliminates the hassles of dealing with a monthly bill, post-sale percentages to be paid to a third party and most online consignments would rather have a partnership with a separate store as opposed to an auction site.
