If you have been selling on eBay for any length of time, you will quickly become accustomed to fee changes and / or increases. Unfortunately, the price of your inventory won’t decrease, so you will need to take proactive steps to keep your profits from falling as fees increase. The answer isn’t always to raise your prices. Here are some suggestions for reducing other expenses that you may incur as you operate your eBay home business.
Pay close attention to eBay Insertion Fees and the tiered pricing. For example, pricing an auction item between $1 and $9.99 costs 35 cents. Pricing an item between $10 and $24.99 will cost 55 cents. Study the costs and decide if it is more cost effective to set your starting price in the lower tier to get the lower insertion fee. Assuming your item sells, pricing the item at $9.99 will cost less in fees than pricing it at $10.
Watch your packaging. Make sure you aren’t overpackaging your item and adding unnecessary weight by using too much packing material. One extra ounce and boost your shipping fee into the next tier, and add up $2 or more per package. If you ship 100 packages a month, and you are paying $2 for unnecessary packaging, that’s $200 in shipping fees you are paying for no reason! (Especially if you are shipping clothing, adding tissue and ribbon is going to add weight. Do you really need it?) Experiment with different packaging options and packing materials to determine the least expensive option without sacrificing quality.

Pay your eBay fees with a credit card that offers cash back. If your fees are $1,000 a month, and you pay them with a credit card that offers a 1% cash back program, that is $10 a month you can save - or $120 a year.
Use paper and clear tape instead of labels for shipping. Labels can get very expensive.
Reduce Paypal fees by applying for a merchant account. Furthermore, if you use a Paypal debit card as a credit card at POS terminals, you can earn 1% cash back.
Do whatever you can to increase your DSRs so that your items will be placed higher in Best Match, thus increasing your sales.

如果你一直都在易趣上賣東西，不管時(shí)間有多久，你都會(huì)迅速適應(yīng)價(jià)格變化或增長(zhǎng)。不幸地是存貨的價(jià)格不會(huì)跌，所以你將需要采取積極的措施使你在價(jià)格上漲時(shí)你的利潤(rùn)不會(huì)下降。其結(jié)果并不總是能讓你提升你的價(jià)格。給你一些建議來減少在經(jīng)營(yíng)易趣國(guó)內(nèi)生意的時(shí)候可能承受的其他支出。

看看你的包裝。確定你沒有過度包裝你的商品，沒有用過多的包裝材料而增加不必要的體重。增加一盎司你的運(yùn)費(fèi)也會(huì)跟著漲，要多花2美元或者需要更多的包裝。如果你一個(gè)月要運(yùn)送100包商品，再為一個(gè)不必要的包裝多付2美元，那么你一個(gè)月就要無故地多付200美元?。ㄌ貏e是如果你在運(yùn)衣服，增加薄紙和緞帶就等于增考試^大加重量。你真的需要嗎？）試試不同的包裝方式和包裝材料能讓你在不影響質(zhì)量的條件下拿到最實(shí)惠的商品。要更多降低易趣訂單運(yùn)費(fèi)的方法請(qǐng)點(diǎn)擊這里。想知道免費(fèi)運(yùn)輸供應(yīng)點(diǎn)請(qǐng)點(diǎn)擊這里。
