Selling items online I am sure that we have all probably
heard of the giant merchant websites to sell on. However, a site that I found
when I was starting to sell online was Ecrater. Now some people might have
heard of Ecrater before, but some have not I know that I hadn’t even heard of
this site before and found it almost by accident, but am happy that I did! Now
I know that Ecrater has many positives and hardly any negatives that I have
found. Here is what I think of Ecrater after selling on that site for almost a
full year.
The first positive that I like about using Ecrater is that
inside the forum the people are very friendly and nice. With the people being
friendly and nice I managed to learn more about how to properly set up my
online store and promote my items without the worry of having them deleted
because I placed them in the wrong category.
>The second positive of using Ecrater as the website for my
online retail store is that the store doesn’t charge any fees on the
transaction like some of the other websites that I have sold on. Ecrater also
doesn’t charge any fees on the listing of your items either which is nice
because I know that some of the sites that I sold on before I would end up
spending more in listing fees and final sale fees that my profit was close to
zero or only a few pennies for each item. I am sure that unless you are a big
wholesale retail giant that a small store cannot survive on pennies.
>The third positive of my making use of Ecrater is that they
would automatically submit all of my items to Google on the shopping page of
Google. So my store was gaining additional exposure by my listings being posted
onto Google which as many people know is the largest search engine used.
>The one negative that I have found is that if I wanted to do
any additional advertising for my products I would have to market them instead
of like on some of the other retailers that do that for me. However, even with
the other retailers I discovered I had to do some marketing on my own and that
was really disappointing since I was already paying a fee to them to even list
my item.
>While many people have heard of the giants of internet
retail and might consider selling with them I would have to recommend looking
at Ecrater as well. I know that for me selling on Ecrater has been fun and
enjoyable while at the same time I am able to make more money because of the
lack of fees on my sales other than the payment company.
