Many of my friends and fellow eBay sellers who are selling on eBay bait for viewers by offering free shipping. Of course, shipping is not exactly free as it has already been calculated on the starting price of the item. I was told that auction listings that offer free shipping are given added exposure in searches hence the extra viewership.
Also, free shipping has a psychological effect into making buyers think that it is a good deal, without stopping to think for a moment that they are already paying for shipping at the get go, unless the item closed at a ridiculously low price, which is really rare. And that’s the wonder of online auctions!
Anyway, if you find that you have difficulty letting go your items, perhaps you should try this “trick”. Throw in free shipping and see if you are able to bait more potential bidders!
