My Thoughts

Are you planning to sell items to international countries? Or you already sell but not getting more sales or facing seller performance issues on eBay? Here is our post to help you to increase your selling in international countries. Why customers prefer to buy orders from international countries? 

It’s common that buyers always choose items that sell at lower cost. Therefore, set a price that it should grab your customers both from domestic as well as international countries. Also, make sure that your selling price should ruin your competitors. If you are unsure about setting prices for your products, you can hire professionals who can do competitive price research for your products to increase your turnover.

A research has determined that ¾ th of the buyers prefers for free shipping offers. So if you want to increase your selling for international countries, set a competitive shipping cost for your products. Other strategy you can follow is offer discounts on shipping on multiple orders.

Usually shipping to international countries takes more time. Therefore make sure you choose a best carrier that ship items faster than others. Provide your faster shipping time frame in your listing description. For ex, “Delivery in 5 business days for international orders at just $5.99”. When you do so, customers looking at this offer will certainly click on “Buy it Now” button”? This will also leads to more positive reviews for your store. 

A complete and clear description highly impacts your sales. If you sell electronic equipments/cosmetics/cell phones/tablets that need charging equipments etc., make sure the item you sell is compatible to fit in their countries. Because, some items may need sockets etc to use and buyers won’t prefer spending extra costs in such situations. This may lead to disappointments and then at times to negative reviews. Therefore, make sure you provide all necessary information in your listing description.

Make sure your return policy is easy and flexible for international customers. When they come for returns, try to convince them by offering any additional refunds/discounts as international shipping cost is high and encouraging returns will not lead to a profitable selling.
