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，不管時間有多久，你都會迅速適應價格變化或增長。不幸地是存貨的價格不會跌，所以你將需要采取積極的措施使你在價格上漲時你的利潤不會下降。其結(jié)果并不總是能讓你提升你的價格。給你一些建議來減少在經(jīng)營易趣國內(nèi)生意的時候可能承受的其他支出。
密切關注易趣的登錄費和分層標價。例如：標價在1到9.99美元之間的拍賣商品需要35美分；標價在10到24.99美元之間的商品需要55美分。先研究這個收費情況，然后就可以知道為了較低的登錄費而在較低層定起價是否更劃算。假設你要賣商品，標價為9.99美元的商品所花的登錄費要比標價在10美元的花的少。
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。增加一盎司你的運費也會跟著漲，要多花2美元或者需要更多的包裝。如果你一個月要運送100包商品，再為一個不必要的包裝多付2美元，那么你一個月就要無故地多付200美元！（特別是如果你在運衣服，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惠的商品。要更多降低易趣訂單運費的方法請點擊這里。想知道免費運輸供應點請點擊這里。
用可以返現(xiàn)的信用卡支付易趣賬單。如果你一個月的費用是1,000美元，用你的信用卡支付，且這種信用卡提供返現(xiàn)1%的活動，那么一個月你能省10美元——或者每年120美元
裝運時用紙或透明帶代替標簽，因為標簽很貴。
通過申請商戶賬號來減低Paypal費用。此外，如果你在銷售點終端機上把支付寶當成信用卡使用，你就能賺到返現(xiàn)的1%。
盡你努力去增加每日業(yè)務報告，這樣你的商品在匹配搜索的排名會更高，從而可以增加你的銷售量。
