I Bought My House over eBay
The coupon strategy works well to promote sales of items on
eBay. And just like its cardboard counterparts, the eBay coupon
is fast, easy, and convenient to use.
Selling real estate over the internet may sound like an awkward
idea. However, the mileage the real estate receives over such a
widespread media like the internet is every realtor's dream.
Can eBay be used to market real estate? The answer is a
resounding 'yes!'
eBay provides functionality that is clearly adaptable to the
needs of a realtor. It provides a widespread medium of
advertisement for the real estate. It is also an inexpensive
method of advertising such.
The best thing about selling real estate on eBay is that it
markets to the whole world, not just a local area. eBay makes
the property available to more than 100 million potential
buyers, including those from other countries. Visitors can
browse through the property details 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week - all without the realtor having to explain the details to
every single prospect that drops by.
Advertising Your Real Estate on eBay When one has a house or
other real estate to sell, he or she may list it for auction on
the eBay Real Estate site which is found at
http://www.pages.ebay.com/realestate/. If the realtor seeks to
sell the estate at a fixed price instead of having the property
go through an auction, he may request eBay to display a real
estate listing in a format much like a local paper.
eBay's Real Estate page has three selling formats: there is the
auction, fixed price selling, and the traditional real estate
listing.
>From here, the user furnishes additional information regarding
his or her property. These details include lot size, number of
bedrooms, number of bathrooms, type of property, year built, and
others. One also furnishes the auction listing period. He may
choose to run a 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, 10-, or 30-day auction, or a 30-
or 90-day non-auction listing.
eBay Real Estate charges fees for both listing and final values.
Charges for a 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, or 10-day auction listing is $100.
30-day auction listings cost $150. A non-auction listing costs
$150 for 30-day listing, and $300 for a 90-day listing.
Timeshares and land fees are slightly lower. The final value fee
for timeshares and land is $35 while residential and commercial
real estate have no fees. Selling real estate on eBay is growing
popular as the internet stretches to more countries. Although
nothing beats direct and personal inspection of a property, the
convenience of having eBay connect seller and potential buyer is
definitely appreciated.
