Ebay Sellers… Raise Your Game with Better Boxes

There aren't many of us today whom have not heard about the Internet super-auction website called eBay. Many of us have bought and sold on this multi-billion dollar auction site. From collectibles to clothing, beauty products to movie tickets, nothing is off limits at this auction powerhouse. The number of eBay sellers has been growing rapidly since its introduction in 1995. Many sellers have made a small fortune over the years, with eBay giving them the capability of having their own virtual marketplace without the overhead of your typical brick and mortar shop.

Over the years since eBay's introduction, competition has grown steadily among sellers. More and more people are realising the money to be made selling and auctioning off practically anything on this website. How do you compete with all of these new sellers? You need to always keep yourself one step ahead of the eBay seller competition. One of the easiest, most affordable ways to do this is to always use professional packaging boxes.

Although it may seem more cost effective to package your eBay shipments in whatever old box you may have lying around the house or shop, this practice does not promote a professional image to your eBay store. Your customers may get confused when they receive their product from you, especially if you use a box that has a different picture or brand name logo on it than what they ordered. Even a plain brown box that has been tattered and obviously re-used several times looks bad. This leads to a very bad first impression. First impressions are always important.

A critical part of making money off of eBay is establishing repeat customers. These few pennies saved on a box can lose you a repeat customer. Is it really worth saving a few pennies on a new box when you are losing the repeat customers and referrals you are looking for? Using new packaging boxes can give you a great edge over your competitors. Making such a small effort, as in using professional packaging boxes, can change the entire image of your eBay store.

There are many packaging companies out there that sell affordable, new eBay boxes. These packaging companies will let you choose how many eBay boxes you need, and may even work out a deal for those buying large quantities. These packaging companies also offer all different sizes and shapes of eBay boxes, so no matter what you are shipping, they can find the right sizes for you. Add some packing tape and some nice, professional looking packaging labels to your order, and you have yourself a step ahead of all of your eBay competition.
