Peak season is almost here, with Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas set to bring a surge in buyer demand. To help you stay prepared and deliver a standout experience, we’ve pulled together the key tips you should keep on your radar - plus a link to the full guide with everything in one place.
Deliver a Great Buyer Experience
Strong delivery options are essential during peak season. You can boost your visibility and conversion by offering:
- Free postage to boost sales
- A reasonably priced express postage option
- International delivery to increase your reach
- Tracked services so buyers can follow their order
Make sure you enter tracking details and review Christmas cut-off dates so your buyers know what to expect. Keeping an eye on your seller standards will also help you stay ahead of the holiday rush.
Stand Out This Season
- Engage buyers by building your community: use Store newsletters and social sharing to stay connected with your audience. Seller Initiated Offers is also an easy way to close the sale with buyers who are actively browsing your items.
- A few simple tune-ups can improve accuracy and efficiency: update your postage preferences, speed up handling time where possible, and ensure your business policies reflect how you operate during peak season.
- Buying labels directly through the eBay labels platform helps streamline your deliveries. And in December, additional Christmas delivery badging will help buyers discover your faster delivery items and drive last-minute sales.
- Protect your sales: package your items with care during gifting season so they arrive in display-ready condition.
