Selling Homes using eBay?!

Ebay-home Recently ,while selling on eBay, I ran into a little know fact about eBay – it’s actually possible to use eBay to sell homes. I don’t mean auction homes (although you can do that too) – but sell them more traditionally by using the service simply to get exposure and generate leads! eBay supports formats other than auctions including fixed price and classified ad formats as explained in their helpful guide for those looking to use their service for the purpose of selling a home.

The process is pretty straight forward:

  1. You create sign up for eBay
  2. You “Sell” your property using the the “ad format” option to generate leads
  3. It will cost you $150 for a 30 day listing or $300 for a 90 day listing
  4. Leads are routed to you via email

Home Seller Benefits
A benefit of using eBay is that your listing potentially gets exposed to 147 million potential regional, national and international buyers. According to eBay, there are now over 370,000 property page views each day. Additionally, they have great support for vFlyers. You can cut and paste your flyer and widget HTML directly into your eBay listing to create eye-catching ads.

    I too have seen these ads on Ebay but were not sure how they worked or mor eimportantly IF they worked. I hope someone chimes in who has tried them-it would be interesting to see if they got results. Ihave also seen time shares listed as well but in an auction format. Thanks for posting this…inquiring minds want to know!

    Getting Bye at the Carnival With a Little Help From My Friends…

    What would you do if I sang out of tune,
    Would you stand up and walk out on me?
    Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
    And I’ll try not to sing out of key.Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
    Mm, I get high with a little he…
