4. Install the free Auctiva scrolling product bar. This goes at the top or bottom of each listing and displays scrolling pictures of the other products which you have for sale. This gives any visitor to your pages a quality high profile view of your listings.

Loss leader

A fantastic method to attract traffic to your store is through a loss leader item. This "loss leader" is not meant to be profitable, but to pull in traffic from eBay to your store. try starting an auction for 99 pence which will encourage  watchers, bids and excitement .. and hopefully traffic to your store! Try and auction one item from each category and ensure there are plenty of links on the auction pages to entice viewers to look at other pages in your store.

How buyers find your store

How do buyers find your store ? There are different trails which buyers follow to find your store and understanding this process is a starting point to increasing your eBay traffic. The first way many buyers end up on your eBay pages is through an auction. When the buyer clicks on an auction page there is a chance that they might click onto the red door which leads them to your shop or they might follow a link in the text such as "view my other items"
Buyers can also find your store through an external link from another web page or blog or a social networking site like Facebook or Twitter. Lastly buyers can find you through search engines, either paid like pay per click campaigns or free searches.
Search engine traffic whilst taking a great deal of work to get going can become your biggest free supply of eBay traffic.
