How to drive traffic to your eBay listings: go from zero to sixty in sixty seconds!

If a listing goes up on eBay but no-one sees it does it exist?  Kind of like, "If a tree falls in the forest, but no-one hears it, does it make a sound?"  These days it's getting harder to be seen on ebay.  Cassini (the new search engine) makes it harder to be seen along with competition from other sellers.

One way to drive instant traffic to your listing is with Twitter.  This morning I listed an old school hip hop shirt.  Seconds after I listed it, I tweeted the listing and my views popped up to 25.  I tweeted it again a few seconds later and my views climbed to 45. A third tweet bumped it up to 60 views!  


Eazy-E Tee Shirt (Note:  this is not the shirt I listed - photo shown for concept only)

Now for the burning question!   Does it result in sales?  Yes, I have been seeing increased sales since using Twitter consistently, especially for items that have been lingering for a while with no sales.  

Don't forget the hash tags!  #HipHop #NWA #EazyE #Compton #TShirt #EricWright
Use words your customers will actually seek out.  For example - no one is really looking for #Graphic or #Silkscreen but they will look for #Skull #Concert #Tour #Metallica.
