eBay is an amazing marketplace, connecting millions of buyers and countless sellers. But how can you reach those buyers who might not be checking eBay day and night? Here's one neat idea from our eBay Innovation team, eBay Flyer!
Start with an eBay Item ID, then eBay Flyer does the rest, making an attractive, printable flyer pre-filled with information about your item. Just print your flyer, cut the strips and tape, staple or pin it up where you think it will be noticed. Curious humans will be drawn like moths to a porch light and investigate your new poster. If interested, they’ll grab a little tear-strip for future reference. When they return home, entering the compact URL on the tear-strip will take them directly to your auction.
Best for large, awkward or locale-specific items because who wants to pay shipping? Couches, TV’s, cars, furniture and anything else you don’t want to drag to the post office are perfect candidates.
